We were a group of 2 people and a guide, we had 22 days to trek in the Annapurna region. We had a great time and our guide did a great job. Especially she (Madhu) was a good support when one in the group felt sick, and we had to change our ordinary itinerary. When we had crossed the Thorung La pass, I and my friend wanted to do the ABC, which was not planned from the beginning. Our guide worked it out so we could make it in the 22 days, by going from Muktinath to Tatopani by jeep and bus.
All in all, it was an amazing experience, and the company provided us with warm jackets, which we definitely needed in the hights!

This was my first trip to Nepal but my friend Marcin was there a few years ago, my friend decided to go to Gokyo valley and ask me to join I was also dreaming to see Mt. Everest for many years, I accept his offer and we went to Nepal, on his first trip he trek alone but he use Outdoor Himalayan Treks in Kathmandu for flight to Lukla. He told me I know someone in Kathmandu but we did not contact them till we arrive Kathmandu, we just went to their office in Thamel and meet Raj he knew Marcin, he was surprised to see Marcin we decide to trek with guide and porter this time we were looking a bit comfortable way. He offers us very good price, our Guide Ganesh and porter Arjun helped us a lot, they took care of us like part of family, every time Ganesh was asking if we have any problems, he is a great person, knowledgeable of area as well Sherpa community and he knows all the Mountain name and heights. We had lots of fun with them, unfortunately, the weather was not very good but we knew that it was not the best time for trekking and flight from Lukla to Kathmandu was cancelled once and we had to wait in Lukla but Ganesh and Arjun took us around still we like that village walking. Maybe one day we will be back again for the trek. We would highly like to recommend OUTDOOR HIMALAYAN TREKS, and thanks to Raj, Ganesh, Arjun for made our trip unforgettable. Good luck.

Gokyo Ri Trek
I have recently returned from 18days trek to Everest base camp and Island peak climbing organized with a very professional company – Outdoor Himalayan Treks. It was a beautiful and challenging trek and one that I can highly recommend. There were great views of Everest, Ama Dablam and hundreds of other peaks as well as summiting on Island peak in adding up there were some great insights into Sherpa society. Luckily weather was good on our summit day as well we had chance to see great sunrise from Kalapather, Outdoor Himalayan Treks were very well-organized and specialized in their approach with Raj from the office keeping us fully up to date via email in the planning stages while our climbing guide Lakpa Sherpa and their friendly crew of porters couldn’t have done more for us during the whole trip- they were really wonderful and inspiring. Our Guide Lakpa has done Island peak summit multiple time and he is very nice and good person, he took care of us very well. I found the trip to be very competitively priced and great worth for money. I have extremely no hesitation for recommend the services of Outdoor Himalaorganizinganising treks and climbing for those thinking of visiting Nepal. Thanks to Raj, Lakpa and the team of OHT.

Wow ! its difficulty to compress all the great experiences I had with Janu, my guide, into a few photographs. I am glad that we selected a different sort of trek in the Ganesh Himal. Janu was an excellent guide/Porter.
We quickly became friends and the trek took its own life with both of us making decisions based not on a plan, but our surroundings and the words of the villagers. The Ganesh Himal was beautiful. Its surprising that more westerners haven’t trekked there. I was more than happy to sacrifice a hot shower and apple pie for something a bit more authentic. I have no complaints at all, and will definitely be recommending Rajendra and Janu to any friends who wish to have some kinds of Himalayan adventure……..
Hopefully I will be back soon.

We went to Ghorepani, Tadapani, Jhinu, and Ghandruk. We trekked for 6 days through the most beautiful landscape with outstanding views of Annapurna and Machaputchre. We met some wonderful people and made good friends with whom we hope to keep in touch.
My guide Rammani Rijal was outstanding knowledgeable about the area, mountains, cultural, and every friend to the local people and of course to us. Porter Sambhu was strong enough to carry our bags. We highly recommend Trek with Outdoor Himalayan Treks.
Can’t wait until we can come back again.

Great trip, great area, great Tour Guide. Manaslu is much less develops then Annapurna and Everest, but also much less crowded. We got good contact with the local people from that area, which was really nice.
If you want the hot shower and much comfort, don’t do Manaslu, if you want to feel the mountain, see real life go for Manaslu. It Great.
Awesome trek! Fantastic landscape! Very good Guide who gave us a lot of information about the area and culture. We could sit at the warm fire in the kitchen, watching how the food was prepared. The food is actually much more tasty and healthy. Thanks, Gopal for your good guidance. Bichari, thanks lot carrying all our stuff and your truly and caring.

I had a wonderful time with a 1-day rafting trip at Trishuli river and 7 days trekking trip to Ghorepani. The views from Poon Hill was amazing. The people and the scenery along the way was an added bonus.
My Guide Navin was excellent. He was very helpful at all the times and was a great person to talk to during the week-long journey. I will always remember my trekking experience here in Nepal. I hope that one day I can return for another Trek.

Es un guia muy atenio y seruicial, anu cuando habia contratiempos el salia suy bien del paso. A la vuelta en la carretera tuvimos parbecemas y el supo como solucionarlos. No eramos muy expertas pero nos ayudo en todo, el ritmo w marcamos nosotras yel nos aguantaba eso si aunque sea un mini traking ahora mismo tensemos unas agujetas que no nos podemos mover.
Siempre nos acordaremos de Shanta y nuestra auentura, esperamos verle en Espana .

I found out about the company because my good Costa Rican friend, Ignacio Sanchez, told me great things about Outdoor Himalayan. I was picked up by Jeevan at the airport and he took me to a nice hotel in Kathmandu. My trekking started two days later after catching a taxi from Pokhara to the drop off point where the adventure began. Prakash was my awesome guide who was always interested in my well being. We walked for around 4 days on the great Himalayan foothills and finally reached Ghorepani to enjoy a great sunrise at Poon Hill. It was amazing to see the highest mountains in the world. They make you feel so small and I was particularly impressed by the majestic Annapurna. Prakash always looked after my happiness and meals and I could not have asked for a better companion for this adventure. I also saw buffaloes and it was very interesting to see how local people live in their villages. When the trek was over I spent two more nights at Pokhara and experienced Nepalese New Year there. I definitely recommend this company.

My husband and I enjoyed a fantastic day on the Kathmandu World Heritage Private Tour. Our guide, Hari, was exceptional, with extensive knowledge of Kathmandu’s history and culture. The lunch spot was clean, with a diverse menu at reasonable prices. We highly recommend this tour!

Heritage Discovery in KathmanduWe conducted an impromptu interview with a guide-cum-porter recommended by the company owner and were impressed by his professionalism and approach. Although he was 20% more expensive than a competitor, the experience was worth it. He inspired confidence, ensured we stayed on track to cross Thorong La pass, and recommended a simplified itinerary that made the trip more manageable and satisfying. We can’t imagine hiking in Nepal without him. For future trips, it might be wise to have a heli-rescue service and keep our credit card handy for emergencies.

Annapurna Circuit TrekWe had an amazing 5-day trek to Poon Hill (3210m) with Outdoor Himalayan Treks, where the panoramic views of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Peaks were breathtaking. Despite our short time in Nepal, their excellent arrangements made our 11 days unforgettable. Everything was well-organized from our arrival in Kathmandu to Pokhara and the trek itself. Our guide, Dilli Lamsal, made the journey enjoyable and manageable, ensuring great accommodations and food. Thanks to Dilli and Badri Aryal for their exceptional service. I highly recommend this company and Dilli for any trek in the Himalayas.

In our early sixties and new to trekking, we were initially nervous, but our experience was fantastic thanks to Ramchandra. His excellent English and organizational skills made our trip memorable, and we learned so much about Nepal and its people. Despite the challenging steps, the stunning mountains and rivers were worth every effort. Ramchandra was an exceptional guide, adapting our final trek day to our needs with ease. Ramesh, our porter, handled our heavy bags with a smile up the steepest hills. We highly recommend them and look forward to joining them for the Mustang trek in the future. Many thanks and namaste! — Will and Mary

I initially planned to trek solo, but I’m so glad I changed my mind. On my second day in Thamel, I asked my hotel about trekking companies, and they promptly connected me with Rammani. After discussing options, itineraries, and prices, I decided to go with a guide. Rammani handled all the permits and arrangements, including bus tickets, a hotel in Pokhara, and a return coach to Kathmandu. My guide, Ram, was exceptional with his excellent English and 30 years of local experience. For a stress-free trek, I highly recommend contacting Rammani.
