I give Outdoor Himalayan Treks a solid 5 stars! Prakash and Badri provided top-notch service, going the extra mile for our group. The trek was amazing—just check out my photos to see how incredible it was. For an unforgettable experience, choose Outdoor Himalayan Treks for the 3 Passes Everest trek.

Fantastic experience across the Shangri La Chola and Kombu La passes

I recently trekked to Everest Base Camp with Outdoor Himalayan Treks alongside a group of six Aussie mates. The hike is challenging, but the stunning views and overall experience make it well worth the effort. I highly recommend taking the time to explore the passes rather than heading straight to base camp—these quieter trails are much more enjoyable!

Our guide, Prakash, blended seamlessly with our group. He was exceptional—answering all our questions, organizing our accommodations and meals, and keeping us on track. He was also a lot of fun to be around and even joined us in Pokhara for a few days after the trek.

Badri and the team at Outdoor Himalayan Treks are top-notch. I can’t recommend them enough!

16 day Everest basecamp with 3 passes

This company is exceptionally well-organized and comes highly recommended. The hike was fantastic, and our guide, Prakash, had an impressive knowledge of the area, answering all our questions with ease. They even took the time to arrange a trip to Pokhara outside of the regular schedule. I highly recommend them!

Three Passes and Everest Base Camp 16 Day Trek

Leading up to the Trek:

I discovered Outdoor Himalayan Treks (OHT) through my Kathmandu accommodation, and they made the planning process stress-free. Their service exceeded our expectations: they met us at the airport, ensured our safe arrival at the hotel, and maintained clear communication throughout.

During the Trek:

We were fortunate to have Prakash Khatiwada as our guide for the three passes trek. His deep knowledge of the Everest region and ability to answer all our questions were impressive. Prakash was caring and prioritized the group’s needs, making him an exceptional leader. OHT and Prakash were flexible with our itinerary, allowing us to leave the Everest region early and enjoy some time in Pokhara, which they also arranged.

For anyone trekking or traveling in Nepal, I highly recommend OHT and request Prakash as your guide—you won’t be disappointed!

EBC Trek

I can’t speak highly enough of this company. Their professionalism is unmatched. Ram, the manager, organized every detail flawlessly. Dilli, our guide, was exceptional—thoroughly professional and knowledgeable, and he went above and beyond to ensure everything was taken care of.

When I injured myself on the trek, Dilli and Ram arranged a helicopter to the hospital within two hours. Their quick response and care were remarkable. I highly recommend this company for its outstanding service and support.

Our guide, Krisna, was incredibly friendly and polite. We greatly appreciated his efforts to ensure our trekking experience was enjoyable. He was very accommodating with any modifications we wanted to make to our itinerary. We strongly recommend him to anyone planning a trek.

EBC Trek

Our trip was truly the experience of a lifetime. Despite a minor booking mix-up, we ended up with a helicopter ride to Lukla from Kathmandu, which was a fantastic start. Ram, our tour organizer, managed all the details—from flights and accommodations to meals. When a friend injured his knee, they seamlessly arranged everything from the helicopter to the hospital. Our guide, Dilli, was exceptional, treating us like family and making us feel special. It was an amazing experience, and I’ll book with them again for future trips.

9 days trek Annapurna Base Camp

During my 9-day trek, which included visits to Poonhill, ABC, and some hot springs, I felt completely safe as a solo female traveler. My guide spoke excellent English and was very attentive. Outdoor Himalayan Treks took care of everything, including booking my bus ticket to Pokhara and arranging hotels before and after the trek.

When I decided to head to Chitwan instead of returning to Kathmandu, they easily changed my bus ticket without any additional charges. Upon my return to Kathmandu, I was even treated to a traditional Nepalese dinner with delicious food and lively dancing. I highly recommend Outdoor Himalayan Treks to everyone!

10 Day Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Rupak

The highlight of our 10-day Annapurna Base Camp trek was our guide, Rupak. He quickly became a friend, sharing jokes, laughter, and even singing, while remaining highly professional. Rupak expertly managed the route, tea house bookings, and meals, allowing us to fully enjoy the trek while feeling safe and well-cared for.

Ram, the manager we contacted before the trek, was also very helpful and responsive, providing a detailed itinerary and addressing all our questions. The company supplied us with sleeping bags and down jackets.

Our package included 2 nights in Kathmandu, 2 nights in Pokhara, and a luxury bus between the cities, but these details can be adjusted based on your preferences.

Amazing trek through the Annapurna region

I had an excellent experience with Outdoor Himalayan Treks, thanks to Rammani Rijal and my guide, Krishna Pokharel. Mr. Rijal’s deep knowledge and years of experience were evident as he helped me choose a 24-day trek around the Annapurna Circuit, including Tilicho Lake, Poon Hill, and Annapurna Base Camp. He was incredibly helpful, advising me on necessary gear and even lending me hiking poles, a sleeping bag, and a shirt. Krishna was an outstanding guide, with precise route knowledge and flexibility to adapt our plans daily. His expertise and assistance with food and locals made the trek unforgettable. I highly recommend both Krishna and the company for a worry-free adventure.

Annapurna Base Camp 6 day

My boyfriend and I just wrapped up a fantastic 6-day trek to ABC over the holidays with Outdoor Himalayan Treks. A big thanks to our tour guide Dilli and porter Indra for making it such a memorable experience! Everything went off without a hitch—no injuries, delays, or problems. The team was incredibly responsive throughout, from planning our itinerary to coordinating meeting points and handling all the logistics. We highly recommend them!

11 Day Everest Base Camp

I recently completed an eleven-day trek to Everest Base Camp with my incredible guide, Prakash Khatiwada. The scenery was breathtaking, and Prakash took exceptional care of me throughout the journey, ensuring I enjoyed every moment of this amazing experience.

As a solo female traveler, I valued having some alone time while also needing to feel safe. Prakash’s attentive and thoughtful approach allowed me to fully appreciate the peace and beauty of the trek without any worries.

I would choose Outdoor Himalayan Treks and Prakash for my next trek in Nepal and highly recommend them to anyone planning their adventure.

Langtang Valley Kyanjin Gompa trek

My partner and I completed a 7-day trek to Langtang Valley Kyanjin Gompa with Outdoor Himalayan, who was recommended by our hotel. We chose them because the manager had a thorough understanding of the route.

Our guide, Dilli, was fantastic—knowledgeable, reassuring, and patient. When I experienced altitude sickness while ascending Kyanjin Ri and had to turn back, Dilli provided excellent support and calm. Ganesh, our porter, was also outstanding, and we are very thankful for his help.

Overall, it was a brilliant experience, and we will use their services again in the future.

Tips:

  • Confirm multiple times what is included in the price, as this is why we gave a 4/5 rating.
  • The road to Syabrubesi is rough regardless of whether you take a private car or bus. We took the bus at the start and a car back; the journey is long and uncomfortable either way. If cost is a concern, the $8 bus is a better choice than the $150 private car, though the car is slightly quicker.
  • Request Dilli as your guide and Ganesh as your porter—they were excellent company and very professional.

19 day Annapurna circuit trek

As a trekking newbie, I had an incredible experience on the 19-day Annapurna Circuit trek with this company, booked through my hotel in Kathmandu. I opted for the all-inclusive package, covering transport, tickets, food, accommodation, and a guide, which proved to be a great decision.

While many trekkers go without guides, I chose to have one for safety, and Rupak, our guide, was outstanding—by far the best on the circuit. His excellent English and ongoing efforts to learn Spanish were impressive. Even though many trekkers didn’t use guides, Rupak was often sought for advice.

If you’re considering whether to use a trekking company or guide, it depends on your needs and the season. However, I highly recommend this company and Rupak. The all-inclusive cost was only about 10-15% more than arranging everything independently, which seemed fair for the high-quality service provided. Rupak’s enthusiasm, experience, and pace made the trek enjoyable, and I assume other guides from the company are similarly skilled.

An unforgettable experience

Five months in Nepal have passed in a similar way that a child enters this world filled with curiosity, experiences the wonders of life fully, to finally move on to the next place peacefully and with a content smile on his face. I had never been in a country for this length of time simply travelling. As a whole, my experience was complete. I have visited temples and slept in monasteries, trekked in the Himalayas for a couple of months, danced to the festivals of colors and sang among the crowd, ate rice with lentils and vegetables and drank the sweet milk tea on the side of the road in a squat pose, took plenty of time to absorb the beauties of nature, and last but not least, have met wonderful people.

My friend from home had organized all of his activities in Nepal through Outdoor Himalayan Treks, www.outdoorhimalayan.com, and had recommended that I do the same, as he told me they were very helpful and professional. Since the moment I contacted them and still today many months later, they have been the #1 travel agency I have ever worked with. Especially Rajendra, who I believe to be the mastermind behind the agency, has always maintained a high level of service and hospitality, which has facilitated my entire stay in what became one of my favourite countries in the world.

I want to thank the whole team, and with this review hope to share and contribute to your efforts in making further travellers feel at home in Nepal. Best of luck to you all, and I look forward to returning and climb a little higher…
