Climbing and Trekking in Nepal
Everest Base Camp 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.

Great experiences in Ganesh Himal Trekking
Annapurna Base Camp Trek
To, Rajendra and Janu
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.

Beautiful landscape with outstanding views of Annapurna and Machhapuchchhre
Ghandruk Village Trek
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
Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek
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.

Poon Hill Trek & Trishuli River Rafting
Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek
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.

Shanta is our HERO !! He save us to the Lichis…….
Everest Base Camp 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 .

Best Trekking Company in Nepal
Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek
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.

Awesome Annapurna Circuit Trek
Annapurna Circuit Trek
I was originally planning to do the trek solo, no guide, no porter. but so glad I didn’t.
On my second day in Thamel I inquired with my hotel about trekking companies. They said don’t worry, made a phone call and the 45 minutes late Rammani appears at my hotel. After some wise words, pros and cons, an itinerary to suit my timescale and a reasonable price, I decided to go guided. I gave Rammani my photos, a copy of my documents so he could sort my permits out. He said he’ll return the next afternoon with the permits and introduce me to my guide.
On time, at my hotel and now with my guide Ram who I will be doing the Annapurna Circuit. All permits were sorted, bus tickets, 2 nights a really nice hotel in Pokhara and a returning coach to Kathmandu.
I was really pleased how the whole trip went and was massively impressed with my guide Ram who’s English was magnificent and knowledge of the area and 30 years experience proved priceless.
If you want a headache and stress-free trek, I could not recommend getting in contact with Rammani who sort it all out so you can enjoy time in Nepal
