Fantastic trip

The adventure I had with Himalayan Recreation was amazing and the arrangement of the tour was far more than I expected. My flight from Bangkok was delayed for one hour, and I had to wait at the custom for another two hours so the driver had to wait for me for three hours in total. Our guides, Bharat and Suresh were very helpful during the trek. We received personalized services although we were in a big group of 14 people. Bharat was the best guide I ever met. He was genuinely caring and knowledgeable, he made the trip a lot more enjoyable to all the guests including me. I highly recommend Bharat as a guide for anyone who wants to do the trek. Due to my health issue, I had to stop at Thukla and went down for a proper medical treatment in a hospital in Pheriche. Bharat had assigned a porter - Uttar to accompany me. Uttar had done an incredible job as a porter, a guide and a life saver. I truly appreciate his great support during my trip. Since I had to go down to rest, Uttar even provided me with extra service by taking me to Ama Dablam base camp which was not including in the itinerary. I was amazed by his kindness and knowledge. I am very pleased with the services provided by Himalayan Recreation. Thank you, Nhung, Bishnu, Bharat and Uttar

Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek -Exquisite journey

Ghorepani Poon Hill was such an amazine trek in himalayas of Nepal. Bishnu from HRT Company Kathmandu kindly answered us about our curiosity. A journey to Poon hill and view from there is stunning scenery of mountains, So I can strongly say this is an Exquisite spot for views. A Guide provided us by company Mr. Uttam made our best trip by leading us in Nepal, He is exprienced, Honest & skilful, I have got everything as trekking company said and now we are very happy from them service. We are hopping to come back Nepal soon for our next Adventure Journey in Everest.I do have hearty request to you all upcoming Nepal visitors to use HRT company service for to make your successful Nepal trip.

Fantastic trek

The company is reliable and the organisation was very good.

Our lovely guide - Bharat - is an experienced and knowledgeable professional, providing every member of the expedition with an individual treatment. And our porter Uttar was brightening our mornings with his smile every day.

Trekking pacing was adjusted to the participants, the accomodation was decent (considering general standards in the area) with a lot of food options, regarding each one's needs.

The tour itself is exactly as described (facilities, service included).
I'd definitely repeat some other trekking with Himalayan Recreation

Success is not all yours

One of my dreams since i was a kid was to climb and submit Mr. Everest. Not everyone is able to do it, specially at my age. After i got the chance to trek to Everest Base Camp (EBC) with the support of my family (they were very worried) because as it seems like just a trek, well it is not just a trek specially when you trek on high altitude. This is when you really need the local support of the expert on it.
Based on this last commet i must express my endless gratitude to those who make possible my successful trek to the Everest Base Camp. Without the help, guide, support and counseling of My super guide Santosh and my potter Khem, i will never reach my goal.
Santosh is a local guy from Kathmandu who has not only been guiding me, but also caring about every single thing that i may need that will make me feel confortable in the middle of nowhere with limited access to facilities we are used to, even knowing where we were heading up. He was not just a guide, he became my photographer some times, my doctor, my friend (thank you for inviting me to meet your lovely family) and even my extra potter when things got extremely hard... Santosh, i can tell that my success was highly because of you.. as you said, your success is my success..indeed you are right!
Even when the trip finished, you are still taking care of me and making sure that i am ok at a unknown but fascinating country as Nepal is.
By the other side, i didn’t have time enough to share with my strong buddy Khem. My Potter. Even we didn’t speak the same language we could understand each other by gestures and with the help of Santosh (translating). This person (Khem) got all my respect speacially when i knew his age. 50 years old and carrying my bag? really makes a shame on me. He with 3 kids too, have been doing this job for 27 years. All my respect to him. This guy as strong as a rock and always cares about any thing that he could do in those short times we could hang out each other because a cultural matter. They, the potters were not allowed to stay with the guest in the same dinning room some times(some may said because a matter of space, but really even having enough space, lets say that some people (other guest) just felt uncomfortable with their presence. Rule i was happy to break any time that i could (we are all human been with different realities) .
And finally and not last important Mr. Bishnu who have been remotely taking care about any logistic of my trip.
If you ask me if i recommend this company for any trip to Nepal, Buthan or the Tibet i would say that you will regret if you don’t consider at least this company.
Some of this people i might not see again in my life but you will always remains in my gratitude and memories.

Manaslu circuit!! Amazing. Best guiding company in Nepal :)

My 3rd trek with Himalyan Recreatio!. I met Bishnu my first visit to Nepal in 2012. EBC, Langtang, and now Manaslu - all different guides and all amazing. This year, April 2019 I did the Manaslu circuit with three of my girlfriends from the USA along with Raju, Bhim and Ramsharan. What an extremely kind crew and they all made our time so enjoyable. They made sure we were always comfortable, cared about our safety, and mostly just wanted us to have a memorable holiday! Plus Manaslu is THE BEST. So beautiful. Thanks and can't wait for next year!!!

Great Experience

After a gift of 2 yrs ago I finally made it.
Although the use by time had passed Bishnu still honoured this voucher with minor changes.
Arriving alone in KTM Santos collected me from the airport and immediately made me feel welcome.
2 days later after a city (Temple) tour Santos & Suresh picked me up from my hotel and together we traveled by bus to Pokhara (7hr Nepalese bus massage). A very interesting trip with great local scenery.
We were to do the ABC trek however as we progressed it was becoming obvious that this trip was too dangerous due to recent snow and avalanche conditions.
After Tedapani Santos advised that we could carry on and hope ABC would open or we could redirect to Mardi Himal and be sure to reach my goal of 4000+m.
This made a day of 8-9 hrs on the hoof with the last 2hrs of steep assent. (In the end this was probably my favourite day)
A great choice of deviation as this is a lesser traveled route with very local quaint tea houses along the way.
After achieving our goal of 4200m it was photos (and mini movie) and the journey back to Pokhara.
A most enjoyable 10 days on foot and 2 days travelling.
Thank you Suresh for carrying my pack and keeping Santos up to a good walking pace.
Thank you Santos for keeping up and making this bucket list trip so enjoyable and fun along the way.
If ever I return Santos, Suresh and Bishnu will be my first contact and hopefully travel companions again.
Thank you for a great time.

Great Experience! Best Tour Company & Staff in Nepal...

I have traveled to Nepal several times - to Kathmandu, Chitwan, Pokhara and the Annapurna Circuit. On my third trip to Nepal, I met Ashok from Himalayan Recreation - Day Tours and we began planning my trek in the Annapurna region.

Ashok was very patient with me and answered every one of my questions in detail, months before the trek was to begin. When I returned to Nepal, I linked up with him and we started my custom adventure. I only had a limited amount of time, so Ashok and his team planned a ten day trek for me with some time at the end to rest in Pokhara at a really nice hotel.

The trek was amazing! Unfortunately, I'm not in as good shape physically as I used to be...but Askok adjusted the pace for me, slowing a bit when climbing elevation and speeding up on the level sections. This was key and really assured me that I'd found the right guide and the right company.

We stayed in some amazing guest houses along the way and created memories that I will never forget.

Since coming home, I have recommended Himalayan Recreation - Day Tours to everyone and I still feel the same way. This is a great company to do business with, and now that I have met them and worked with them, I will use them every time I return to Nepal.

Poon Hill Trek

Best vacation of my life made possible by the staff of Himalayan Recreation. To begin with- driving in Nepal is no joke... but we felt as "safe" as we could with our drivers and the expertise with which they navigated the insane streets of Katmandu and beyond. Our guides Susan and Ashok were extremely informative, professional and friendly. The trek itself was all the better because Ashok felt like a friend. He was extremely charismatic. A smile (almost) never left his face... except only when dealing with an injury. His quick reaction and knowledge of local flora helped our friend recover pretty quickly from a bad incounter with a boulder. I can't sing enough praises about Ashok and the staff of Himalayan Recreation. I would definitely recommend them to anyone interested in trekking in Nepal
