I started Annapurna Circuit Trek with Outdoor Himalayan Treks and can highly recommend them for any treks in Nepal (spacially Badri who was organizing my stay in Nepal). I did a solo trek with a guide (Rupak) and porter (Thakur). Both guys were very nice and made me feel super comfortably during the trek. Although, I got altitude sickness and was not able to finish the trek I never felt unsafe with them. Here a big shout out to Rupak who is not only a fun and friendly guide, he also has a good judgement with more difficult situation. I would definitely choose him for any treks!

We, Tristan & Sacha from Canada had an amazing time during our adventurous Manaslu Circuit Trek. Despite being physically tough, reaching the highest point i.e. Larke/Larkya La Pass summit at an elevation of 5,106 m is worthy. The stunning views from atop were phenomenal.
A huge shout out to our porters, welcoming Nepalese along the trail, and our friendly guide Rupak for taking care of us throughout the trek. Our porters ensured our journey was smooth and less tiring. On the other hand, the hospitality of local Nepalese provides a special feeling.
Also, not to forget our friendly, attentive, and kind guide, Rupak. Cheers to Rupak for his exceptional effort throughout the trek and for taking care of our health and safety. Thank you so much for everything to Rupak and the team of Outdoor Himalayas. A small effort has made a significant difference and we were happy to create an unforgettable experience.

Wir sind zu zweit die Tour Langtang-Gosainkund mit Guide Subba und Träger Prakash gegangen und waren begeistert. Kompetent, stets gut organisiert und gut gelaunt war alles perfekt für uns und durch die zugewandte und aufgeschlossene Art der beiden haben wir uns eher als Familie denn als Reisegruppe gefühlt, wir haben zusammen geschwitzt, aber hatten auch viel Spaß gemeinsam. Dadurch, dass wir nur zu zweit mit den beiden waren, wurden uns auch Kontakte zu Einheimischen ermöglicht, die es mit einer großen Gruppe so nicht gegeben hätte. Unsere individuellen Bedürfnisse wurden jederzeit berücksichtigt. Danke für die phantastische Zeit

We used Outdoor Himalayan’s services for the second time and are very satisfied. Rammani Rijal was always available and we look forward to every meeting with him.
This year, we trekked Manaslu and Tsum Valley with guide Krishna Pokharel and porters Sudip and Prakash. Everything was excellent. The team at Outdoor Himalayan feels like family, and we plan to use their services again soon!

Such an amazing experience doing the Mardi Himal Trek from Pokhara! Ram was great at communicating and helping us out with transport and information. Our guide Rupak had a relaxed, down to earth demeanour as well as being very knowledgeable and funny. Our group formed a great connection with him over the trek and would recommend him as a guide to anyone!

Just completed the Manaslu Circuit, this was a wonderful experience. The knowledge, organisation and service of Badri, Subba (our guide) and Prakash (our porter) were very important contributing factors to the success of the trip. It must be one of the greatest experiences of my life. Thank you Badri. David Reid

We had a wonderful and smooth experience with Outdoor Himalayan Treks. Ram was fantastic—easy to communicate with, offering helpful advice, and responding quickly. Our guide, Rupak, was outstanding: approachable, fun, professional, and respectful. We felt comfortable and safe with him and truly enjoyed his company. A big thank you to Rupak!

I had an excellent experience during my solo Manaslu Circuit trek. Manaslu being remote, a guide was compulsory and was accompanied by an extremely knowledgeable and helpful guide Krishna. A flexible and best service was provided. Everything was well-organized and the communication with Ram was very easy. Outdoor is a highly reputable and reliable trekking company and highly recommend this company and Krishna as a guide!

My Annapurna Base Camp trip with my family and friends from March 5-11 was enjoyable and one of the most memorable in my life. Madhav and Sudip have become great travel companions throughout the trek. They are informative, communicate well, and keep everything under control. Overall it was a great experience and when I come back to Nepal I will use this again and recommend it to others.

A 3-day hike through Chisapani and Nagarkot for the very first time in Nepal with an amazing guide Dilli was amazing. The mountain views were stunning and the accommodation was very comfortable and pleasant. We recommend this company and especially Dilli who is a great guide always helpful and nice.

It has been one of a lifetime experience. Our trek to EBC was well organized from start to finish and I highly recommended it! The views were amazing, beautiful weather and friendly people. Our guide Rupak Rimal went above and beyond, and I would be forever grateful for all that he has done for me during the trek. He is my favorite person in Nepal 🙂 very kind and gentle with a great sense of humor, trustworthy and very professional. He took care of me when I wasn’t feeling well, checking on me constantly to make sure I drink enough and even carried my backpack when I was weak… I can’t thank him enough.
Our group really loved him! If you are thinking of doing the trip, I would highly recommend having Rupak as your guide. You will feel safe and well taken care of! I am also very appreciative for the great support and hard work from our porters. Especially Milan, Not only were they diligent in carrying the heavy bags, but they were also helpful and attentive once we reached the lodges. Bringing us food and tea and making sure we have everything needed. It was truly an incredible experience! And I would not hesitate to trek with them again!

I booked a trek to the Everest Base Camp with Outdoor Trekking and was very pleased. The trip was organized well, from airport pick-up and drop-off, airplane flight to Lukla, Lodges, and food, and the drivers, guide, porters, office staff everything in between were very well thought out and went everything smoothly. There were no planning mishaps. I find it very thoughtful of the guides to carry fruits for us to share along the trek.
Make sure you hire porters and a helicopter flight back down to Lukla, it is well worth it when you are tired at the end of this altitude trek. Our guide Suba was very knowledgeable and experienced. Our manager Badri who cared about doing a good job and about the trekkers was very kind, and understanding.
I got altitude sick and had to be helicoptered back so I didn’t quite make it. But the trekking company made sure that in Kathmandu everyone stood ready to care for me. They were kind and checked up on me in the hospital until I was released two days later. Nothing came out of my pocket for these expenses as the trekking company ensured all trekkers had insurance for this.
It was easy to find on foot the office as it is located in central Thamel, Kathmandu. I went on this trip solo and was matched with another solo traveler. Proper care was taken to make sure the needs of each trekker were accommodated (i.e. the other trekker was a bit faster and stronger and went with the porter to higher altitudes during acclimatization).
Any changes I would recommend are to request to plan a trip like this over a longer time frame to have more acclimatization time and to also request for the guides to walk just a tad bit slower. We were always the first ones at the Lodges for the day having most of the day without much to do, I would have preferred to stop more along the way to see the scenery more and get to the Lodges later.
There was a traditional Nepalese meal with some sort of performance that was planned but was erased later which I would have liked to attend.
Highly recommend checking your Itinerary and double-checking costs always as they change frequently. I was very happy with this trekking company and plan to go back with my son next time.
Thank you Outdoor Himalayan Treks!

We visited Ghandruk and places nearby which was a real pleasure with our guide Dilli. Our guide informed us about the habits of the local people and solved all the problems. It was a very wonderful time. So I highly recommend outdoor Himalayan treks.

Our guide Rupak was always helpful and guided us perfectly to the spots during our perfect 10-day tour. With Rupak we had great fun and eventually became a good friend. Everything was organized timely and communication via email was also perfect. I highly recommend outdoor Himalayan Treks. Many thanks and Namaste.
