“One of the best things I have ever done. The company provides an excellent service, well organised and makes it easy for you throughout the whole trip. Tanka, the guide, has an excellent knowledge of the region as well as a country as a whole. He always had an answer for everything we had a to query. He interacted well with us and was more than happy to play or cards or socialize with us. The porters as well were fun and very helpful. If I was ever to do another trip similar I would only ever use this company.”
“the experience of seeing Everest with my own eyes will be with me for the rest of my life.
Experience the Himalayas looked after me from start to finish. There guide Tanka was first class with every aspect of the trip food, tea houses, names of all the mountains we passed on the way to Everest Base Camp.
Even there porter Mahendra was very helpfull with every aspect of the trip.
I can't recommend this trip and this company more highly.
Another highlight of the trip was summiting Kala Patthar where you see Everest at its most wonderfull splendour.
Put on your boots and give it a go,”
“We went on a 15 day trek doing Annapurna circuit with Experience the Himalayas and they made it a trip of a lifetime. A very well organised trip. The guides were knowledgable, very competent and most important they made sure we had a great time.”
“The Annapurna-circuit trek was the best trip of my life! It was extremely well organised and our guides, Tanka and Kumar were amazing! Tanka's knowledge about Nepal and all of the peaks in the Annapurna region was very impressive! They both went out of their way to make sure we were all thoroughly enjoying ourselves, and Kumar even made us the most delicious meals! Already starting to plan my next trip!”
“A fantastic and once in a lifetime trip; well organised with friendly, funny and knowledgeable guides (Tanka and Kuma). Tanka's breadth of knowledge about Nepal, the Himalayas and the Annapurna region are second to none. This was superbly complimented by Kuma's many facts and local knowledge and of course not forgetting his incredible cooking and warm, kind and endearing demeanour. Already planning the next trip!”
“Excellent! Our guide (Shyam) was great! He got us to EBC and Kala Patthar and back safe and sound. He also taught us alot about Nepal, the Himilayas, cultures and Nepalese along the way! Our porters (Rochan and Samip) were great too! Completing this journey wouldn't have been possible without their help to carry our things! I would recommend this company to my family and friends and tell them to request these three gentleman, we couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
“Experience the Himalayas set the bar for a great trekking experience. As a first time trekker in Nepal, the guide and porters did an amazing job educating my group on what to expect from day to day, as well as educating us about the culture and traditions in Nepal. I learned so much from our guide who was willing to answer any questions I had and made sure I had everything I needed. The company advertises an extra acclimatization day compared to most other companies, which was extremely beneficial. The side treks completed on these extra days were imperative to our groups successful completion of reaching base camp and Kala Pattar. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely trek with Experience the Himalayas again.”
“My experience was great and I could not have asked for better. I contribute the great experience to our guide and porters. They were always smiling and doing all they could to ensure we were satisfied.”
“This was my second trip with Experience the Himalayas. We had an excellent trip around Annapurna Circuit with the excellent guides Tanka and Kumar. They organised the trip perfectly and were tireless in making sure we had a great time. They were very knowledgable about the area, history and culture of the places we visited.
This was truly an unforgettable trip, I would definitely choose this company again!”
“the trip was a great experience. the guide was great and really knowledgeable and helpful. In the lead up to the trip the company were very helpful and answered any queries quickly. A great trip and I expect to come back again!”
“A great experience and insight into both the everest base camp and the Himalayas. Our guide Tanka gave a great tour and history/knowledge of the trail and was extremely helpful and professional at all times. I would definitely advise this trek, but overall the trekking company, experience the Himalayas. A great and for filling experince. Thank you.”
“It was hard high in altitude but when we started to go down I felt much better and I could appreciate better the environment.It was a very big achievement for me and it was a good experience.”
“we had a beautiful time, tested a little our limits, it is a hikle not to be under estimated.
our guide and porters were at all times helpful and friendly....and above all humour was at the rendez vous.
Thank you Tanka... a life time experience”
“I had a lovely experience with Experience the Himalayas! Wonderful and welcoming people. The adventure to base Camp was culturally and naturally amazing. The lodges were clean and comfortable and we were very lucky with the weather. Tonka is a very experienced and enjoyable to have as a guide. And would recommend as a guide. I had truly an amazing and unique experience.”
“We just love these guys. We did the Annapurna Circuit trek with Kumar and Sontosh, and we had an absolute blast. Our team was so helpful on the trek (helping with footing and offering tips in tough spots), but they also became good friends, explaining the connection between Hinduism and Buddhism, walking us through the current political landscape, explaining their own communities. They had a smile on their faces 24/7, and their happiness and appreciation for the beauty of the mountains, the trees, the wildlife...it was contagious. We are already planning our next trip with these two!”
“Fantastic, Unbelievable, incredible and everything else you can come up with. I`m from Arizona, and the girls are from Chicago, we expected a lot of service and help, well we got it. So, the entire experience eas great from the first call to Experience The Himalayas. David Cassidy, called me right back and fielded all my questions. The trek operator Bijay Neupane, who was very attentive with the girls and I. We landed in Kathmandu at all hours in the night and Bijay was there to collected us and take us back to the hotel. We had dinner the next night to complete our trek orientation. Bijay and our guide Kumar Gautam who in my opinion is the very best of guides, both worked very well together to bring us the very best private trekking experience possible, I know we were not easy but, I wanted this trek to be focused on the girls being able to have the very best trip. Kumar picked up on that and was an absolutely enjoyable man. I wanted to make his laugh my ring tone.
Our guide Kumar was most excellent in every aspect, from spotting wild life to all the history of the region from Everest to Buddhism. I felt like Kumar was famous he was known all up and down the trail. He got us on the plain to Lukla and to base camp and Kala Plattar and back. He served us every night and made sure we were comfortable. We played a lot of cards. I found that we shared the exact same upper end Tea Houses that the other bigger outfits were using. I never lost a thing Kumar was very good that we collected all our items, I would have lost something without him. Why anyone would pay the price of the big outfits is beyond me, you don’t have to pace your hike to a crowd of other trekkers that you will meet anyway in the tea house every night.
I seriously think we found the very best trekking company Nepal has to offer in Experience The Himalayas. Bijay , Kumar and the rest of the crew were very professional, nothing was left to questions we will be back to trek the Annapurna.
This is the time to go everything is wide open and the US $ has a good exchange rate at $104, Nepal desperately needs every bit of money that they can get and this is a good way to give it. My hats off to Experience The Himalayas for a trip of a life time. Oh one more thing don’t go to Nepal without spending several days in Kathmandu.”
“You guys are awesome!! From Bijay and his exceptional service and making sure we were squared away from start to finish to Kumar our guide who was just great in every way. Thank you Kumar for taking care of us and sharing all you did about the mountains, people, and culture. I learned a lot and will never forget my trek to Everest Base Camp. Thanks for making it a memorable experience.

So the entire experience was great from the first call to Experience The Himalayas. David Cassidy called me right back and fielded a lot of my questions. The trek operator Bijey Neupane, who was very attentive with me and both the girls, he met us at the air port set us up in a very nice hotel and took us out to dinner. Bijay and our guide Kumar Gautam who was the best, worked very well together to give us the very best private trek we could ask for. We grew very fond of Kumar and his superb knowledge of the region I know more about Buddhism and Hinduism faiths now then I ever did. I felt like Kumar was a famous guy he knew the teahouse house owners and we were in the same tea houses that the big western out fits were using. Why any one would go with a western company I don't know, so much more expensive for what you get. The Girls and I wanted a local guide and we got the best. Nepal needs our funding right now and using a local guide is the best way to go. I recommend this adventure to anyone. Hats off to Experience The Himalayas thank you for a trip of a life time. Oh one more thing stay a couple of days in Kathmandu after the trek you will not regret it.”
“Hello, I'm not very experienced with writing reviews but I thought I will give it a try as I feel really happy and grateful having had the most amazing time while on holiday in Nepal and India. This great experience would of not been possible without great assistance from Experience The Himalayas and their wonderful employees Bijay Neupane and Tanka Gautam who was my guide up The Everest Base Camp. They went far and beyond any expectations I've had about this trip, nothing was a problem and things were organized precisely to the last smallest detail, I was impressed. Special thank you definitely goes to Tanka as he was my great companion and a very professional guide for over 2 weeks and I felt like I could not of been looked after any better! He was attentive, helpful, caring and most of all absolutely fantastic company on what were sometimes long trekking days. You could not of asked for more, it was all there. Thank you.
Bijay organized absolutely everything, there was no problems whatsoever, from a pick up from the airport through feeding me this first cup of coffee after 25 hours journey to checking up on me while I was away to make sure all goes according to the plan and just being there whenever I needed any assistance. Great customer skills!
I would definitely recommend this company to anyone, I had a great time and if I could, I would of done it all over again! Thank you.”
