Excellent organized company

We just returned from our Annapurna circuit trip. This organization was found through a Google search, where someone wrote a post about their travel experience with Outdoor Himalayan Treks. We decided to write to several companies, but these turned out to be the fastest. The owner of the company answered our questions very quickly and clearly that we were left in no doubt about who to go with in the Himalayas. Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted with local flowers and taken to the hotel where we began our journey. We had a guide and a porter during the entire trek. The guide was very polite and took care of us during the trip. Always adjusted to our pace, which contributed to good acclimatization. And Porter…I’ve never seen such strong people who can carry so much weight and go fast! Even though we have been to many countries, thanks to the well-coordinated team, we think it was the best trip ever. In addition, we had an extra two days and decided to go to Chitwan with them. We are already planning our next trip to Everest Base Camp with Outdoor Himalayan Treks!

Felt Like Royalty

This was the second time in using Outdoor Himalayan Treks and I so glad I returned. From the moment I was greeted by Ram (manager of OHT) at Kathmandu airport, to the wonderful and detailed service on the trek from Krishna and Dipak, I felt like royalty. I feel this company goes the extra mile to make you feel you are getting the most from your time spent in Nepal. On my return this time, I chose to do the Renjo La and Everest base camp trek. My guide was Krishna, a man with 22 years experience as a guide has so much knowledge of the surrounding mountains and Nepal itself. My porter Dipak who has the strength of ten men and also the most kindest person. I feel the service in whole was a 5 star experience and I would highly recommend asking for these two if possible. You will come to use Outdoor Himalayan Treks as a client, but most definitely will part as friends.

Great First Time Trek

Outdoor Himalayan Treks made my first visit to Nepal an amazing experience. It was so relaxing to not have to worry about arranging rides and finding places to stay. Ram was an excellent outfitter and matched our group with the best guide, Deepak. Deepak wasn’t just knowledgeable about the area and great at taking care of arrangements, he was also a wonderful person who took time to get to know us. I had been tentative about having a porter with us for the whole trip, but Deepak really became part of our family. I’m going to miss my Nepali big brother! If you travel with Outdoor Himalayan Treks you’ll be planning your next trip to Nepal before you even leave.

An Amazing Trip to Nepal

Badri provided us with an incredible experience during our 6-day trip to Nepal, along with Crisna, our tour guide in Kathmandu. Both were highly knowledgeable and helpful, answering all our questions and addressing our needs. Badri was attentive to all our requests and responded promptly to any concerns we had throughout the trip. The planning process was smooth thanks to Badri’s efforts. We wholeheartedly recommend Badri for a comprehensive Nepal experience! Our driver also deserves a 10/10 rating. We had a fantastic time!

Excellent company with excellent people

As a solo traveler, I’ve had the pleasure of trekking in Nepal multiple times with Outdoor Himalayan Treks. Their guides are skilled and knowledgeable, incredibly friendly and safety-conscious. A big thank you to Badri for arranging such memorable adventures and to Dilli for being an exceptional guide on my most recent trek. Highly recommend using them for your adventures in Nepal!

Great Himalayan low high Route Combo

I don’t know how to sing enough praises for the entire team at OHT. Prior to our arrival in Nepal, we emailed 15-20 different trekking agencies with extensive and detailed questions about a four month trip we were planning. Most agencies didn’t respond, and the ones who had, only partially answered us. However, OHT answered every single question we had sent, plus offered additional details. Upon arrival to Thamel in Kathmandu, every single person we spoke with at OHT was professional and helpful. We never once felt they were trying to upsell us (a common theme we’d been running into). In fact, even in situations where we thought we’d have to spend, they would graciously let us know it was unnecessary. They spent hours going through our region by region itineraries and maps with us. We felt they genuinely listened to us when we expressed our hopes for our trip. We are planning to return to Nepal again in the future and wouldn’t dream of going to any other agency. Again, from start to finish, we were so impressed with OHT and know they’d take wonderful care of all their customers. We can’t recommend them enough!

Hiking

I completed my second hike, Langtang, with the amazing guide Rupak from this agency, having previously hiked Manaslu. Rupak excelled at finding the best tea houses, planning the daily itinerary, and managing risks, especially with heavy snowfall on the horizon. He was attentive to everyone’s health, considering altitude issues—though there were none on this relatively lower trek. Rupak handled all details from permits to travel arrangements. He is a positive, fun, knowledgeable, and outgoing person who has become a great friend.

Fantastic experience

I cannot recommend Outdoors and its amazing team highly enough. They provide absolutely everything with the highest standards. They have good and fast communication at the planning stage and while en-route, very competitive prices without hidden fees, an excellent team supporting at every stage (pick-ups, office, guides, porters), a great capacity to solve any unexpected problem you can come across (eg flight delays or personal requests), the ability to tailor-design your experience, plus an excellent personal touch which makes you feel among friends. Our guide, Subba, and our porter, Hari, were certainly one more member of our team, very experienced, with high leadership and management skills, and formidable travel companions with their excellent humour. They didn’t hesitate to act as guide, cook, porter, or anything the situation required. From the office, Raj and team were absolutely fantastic. They managed everything to our highest expectations. Will certainly repeat with each and everyone of them!

Great Experience

During our Fulbright stay in Kathmandu, we wanted an escape from the city and contacted Raj at our hotel, Hotel Friends Home. He connected us with Ram Rijal from Outdoor Himalayan Treks, who quickly arranged a detailed 5-day Poon Hill trek, including all logistics and gear. We added a night in Pokhara at the start and end, which Ram handled effortlessly. Our guide Krishna, with his extensive experience and passion for nature, and our cheerful porter Lela made the trek memorable. Ram and his team treated us like family, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable adventure.

Annapurna Circuit 14 Day Private Trek

I trekked the Annapurna Circuit for 14 days with Outdoor Himalayan Treks in November 2019. My guide, Dilli, was exceptional, handling all logistical details and offering invaluable local knowledge throughout the adventure. I highly recommend their services, and especially Dilli if he is available!

Amazing Trip to Manaslu & Tsum Valley trek

My solo Manaslu Circuit and Tsum Valley trek with Outdoor was amazing and lovely. They are a very professional travel agency that arranges and handles everything for your journey. Also, my guide Arjun guided me through the trip with a lot of joy and knowledge. Strongly recommended.

The best trip Annapurna Circuit with Thorang La Pas

I highly recommend Outdoor Himalayan Treks. The initial contact with the company was fast and informative, and they provided a convenient airport-to-hotel transfer. Rajendra’s support was invaluable. Our guides, Dilli Prasad Lamsal, and Sherpa Dima were outstanding—extremely professional with excellent English and extensive knowledge of the mountains. Dilli attended to our needs daily, checking our health and securing the best accommodations. For a top-notch Himalayan adventure, trekking with these professionals is a great choice. Many thanks to Outdoor Himalayan Treks!

Perfect trekking

Badri Aryal organized a perfect 3-day trek for our 1-week visit to Kathmandu, showing exceptional adaptability and a clear focus on our needs. Our guide, Prakash, was highly professional, fluent in English, and had the perfect attitude for making our experience enjoyable. The trek offered a wonderful blend of physical activity and the stunning natural landscapes of Nepal. Highly recommended, and many thanks to OHT!
