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

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

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.

Outstanding

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!

Private guide porter for the Annapurna circuit trek

We 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.

Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek

We 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.

Annapurna Circuit Trek enjoy time in Nepal

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

ABC trek

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

Awesome Annapurna Circuit Trek

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.

Great trekking company and great staff

My father and I just completed the Everest Base Camp trek with Outdoor Himalayan Treks, and I can’t praise Raj, Badri, and our guide Dilli enough. From handling countless pre-trip emails to ensuring a smooth experience throughout, they were incredibly helpful and attentive.

When my dad was injured and needed helicopter evacuation from Namche, Dilli and Badri were quick to respond, arranging everything and even accompanying us to the clinic. Their genuine concern for our well-being was deeply appreciated. I would request Dilli as a guide for our next trip.

Thank you, Dilli and Badri, for your outstanding care. We look forward to returning in the future!

Everest 3 High Passes Trek

My friends and I completed the 3 High Passes Trek with Outdoor Himalayan Treks, and Badri, Ram, and Prakash were fantastic. Our guide, Prakash, was incredibly knowledgeable and felt like family by the end of the trek. I’m already planning to return next year to complete another section of the Base Camp trek with this team. Their professionalism and helpfulness made everything seamless. See you again next year!

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.
