We went in December on the EBC trek with Himalayan Adventure and had an absolute blast and wonderful memories of Nepal -- many thanks to Bhagwat, Prakash, and Mingma. Together, they took excellent care of us from Day 1. Not only was Bhagwat super patient and detailed with all of our questions before the trip (e.g., about gears, cellular/wifi signals along the trek, temperatures and seasons...etc.), he also took the time to meet us at the hotel on Day 1 and hosted a briefing session together with our excellent guide, Prakash, to answer any remaining questions, checked our gears, and made sure everything is in order & ready to go. Prakash is very experienced and knowledgeable of the treks, history, culture, and people. He is a walking encyclopedia on anything and everything Nepal, Everest, Annapurna and much more. During the trek, he made sure we were well informed about what to expect as we pushed forward, constantly kept a close eye out on our conditions and physiological reactions to high altitude, and kept a close watch on our hydration levels. We were in very good hands and I felt very safe along the way. Mingma too, partnered with Prakash, each keeping an eye on us along the way. Although for unforeseen reasons, we had to change our trekking plans, Prakash and Mingma were troopers and continued to look after us with care, hospitality, kindness, and professionalism until we were safely back in Kathmandu. I would certainly book with Himalayan Adventure again for any Nepal trips -- highly recommended!

This was my second trek with Prakash & Himalayan adventure. First was Poonhill and this time Annapurna Base Camp, with 5 day itinerary, with only myself and Prakash. We started from Pokhara with a Jeep ride to Ghandruk. Prakash is very experienced (10+ years), very knowledgeable, professional and respectful. He was prepared and able to quickly find an alternative route around a landslide area, without significantly effecting the overall itinerary. Prakash made sure to check in with how I packed, what I brought and what I might need in order to be most prepared. He knows the maps and ways around this region extremely well. Accurate time and distance estimates and even converts units from/to metric as needed. Prakash knows the local agriculture, culture and language (in total he speaks English, Nepali, English and mandarin). He is even continuing to take professional courses to improve his knowledge and skill set in regards to trekking and medical information. Prakash was transparent about all the costs, preparation and adjustments to schedule as needed. I was able to make last minute changes to get a plane back to Kathmandu instead of bus. He is very friendly and reads the room well, he notices if you are not feeling well, having a hard time with the pace and asks if you are not feeling well. These qualities are extremely important, I am a doctor of physiotherapy and know how important it is to have a good understanding of people and their physical / mental function because if they need medical attention, you want someone to know as soon as possible. Prakash is the type of person you want guiding you. He has been all over this country and even does motor bike tours as well. Talk to him about any alternative itineraries you would want to consider. I would consider him a friend.

Bhagwat's team were the utmost professionals. They were very responsive to all questions and requests before the trip. During the trip, I had a medical emergency and they arranged the emergency evacuation and hospitalization and helped with my insurance claim. Bhagwat also visited me in the hospital and helped us arrange new plans after the incident. We were very fortunate to have found him and his team. If we ever return to Nepal, we would look for this company.

I did have a wonderful trekking time with Prakash and his porters. They helped us a long the way and keep us safe. Surman is also super nice.

Absolutely fantastic introduction to our first time in Nepal. Each place on the itinerary offered something different and the tour exceeded expectations. The owner of Himalayan Adventures (Bhagwat) was always prompt at replying to our various emails and messages before and during the tour, met us at our first and last hotel, and took us out to dinner on the last night where we were able to ask the many questions we had about life in Nepal. He speaks excellent English, having studied in the UK for 7 years and we felt very 'looked after'. He also provided an absolutely excellent driver for the tour, who looked after us well and did an amazing job of getting us from point to point on truly appalling roads and with truly chaotic traffic and driving conditions. Both Bhagwat and Subash (our driver) are true gentlemen and couldn't have done more for us. If you are looking for a tour in Nepal I don't hesitate to recommend this company.

Pro : Tour operator Mr Bhagwat, tour guide Mr Bradi and our Ramesh did an excellent job to keep us safe and enjoyable during our 1st visit to Nepal. The tour is well balance between Culture and Nature. The hotels are in good locations and good services . The people are friendly , our trip to visit a farm house which is belonged Mr Badri parents which gave us a warm feeling and unforgettable memory for their hospitality . Con: road and highway condition are very bad which has been like that for over 5yrs without knowing when the project will start again. I will reccommend you should take hop on & hop off flights if you have a bad back or allergy to dust and you also save more time to enjoy Nepal beautiful sceneries , more time in Lumini and flight to visit 1st base camp of Mt Everest if I decide to visit Nepal 2nd time.

My wife and I came across Himalayan Adventure Treks and Tours on Travelzoo. The price was very reasonable for a trip of this magnitude! So glad we decided to use this tour company! We signed up to partake in the ABC trek in Nov 2024 (very good time of year for clear weather). Himalayan Adventures is a top notch tour company! Bhagwat is the owner, and he provides some of the best customer service I have had anywhere! I am not exaggerating. My wife and I have travelled extensively, but never made it to this region of the world. We really were coming in knowing nothing. I bombarded Bhagwat with questions for almost a year. He was always very help full and his communication was second to none! He answered questions about logistics, visas, what to expect in this trek, what equipment is recommended, if we didnt have time for a 13 day trek he offered a 9 day modification, etc! Not only did he answer these questions, but I swear he would answer within a hour over Whatsapp, even if it was the middle of the night for him!!! His customer service (and all his employees) were incredible! Upon arrival, Himalayan Adventures had their driver already waiting for us as we went through customs and immigrations. When we arrived at the hotel 4 days earlier than our trek in Kathmandu, Bhagwat was waiting for us for a very warm welcome to Nepal. As he checked us in to the hotel, he gave us many recommendations to explore and to eat. Bhagwat signed us up for a flight to see Mt Everest and an all day excursion to see a bunch of World Heritage sites. Some of the temples included Swayambhunath Temple (the monkey temple!), Bhaktapur Durbar Square (we got to see the living goddess!), Pashupatinath Temple, and Boudhanath Stupa. For the temple excursion, our guide Kapil was amazing! He was so friendly and knowledgeable. When we were eating lunch, it felt like we were sitting with family. Kapil was an amazing guide!! As we got closer to the day of our trek, Bhagwat recommended we take a 45 min flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara instead of a 11 hour drive on a horrible road full of construction. I cannot agree with Bhagwat more, take the flight its worth it! Plus, you will have way more time to explore the beautiful lake town of Pokhara! The trek overall is amazing! Himalayan Adventures has a break down of the trek itinerary, so I won't get too much into here. The trek is labeled beginner to advanced. I will say, as a beginner myself, this is the hardest trek I have ever done. I'd say it's more intermediate to advanced, but a beginner can do it but it will be grueling (but very rewarding). You will hike 5-6 miles one day, sometimes 10. it totaled 80 miles in about 10 days! That includes thousands of steps up and down, some over a foot tall up steep inclines and declines. That being said, the views are insanely beautiful. Our guide, Prakash, was everything we could have hoped for in a guide. Prakash was extremely knowledge, personable, and patient. Everyday, he would give us a detailed breakdown of what to expect and what to expect the next day. Being the slowest in the group, I usually fell behind the others by about 30min. Prakash and his porters would pace with me. Sometimes, when I was extremely tired, Prakash was so good at keeping me motivated and encouraged. Sukman, one of the porters really stood out. He was so positive and patient as well! We called him Superman because he did everything from carry our duffel bags up the mountain, but he waited on us while we ate, and many other things. Amazing customer service by Prakash, Sukman, and the other porters. We were well taken cared of!!!!! If you do this trek, you cannot go wrong wrong with Prakash leading your trek!!!! 5 stars! This trek is the hardest, but most rewarding thing I have ever done. My wife and I miss Prakash, the porters, and our new friends we met from our trekking group!! it was all made possible by Himalayan Adventure Treks and Tours! This is the company to use for your trek! Our whole group have nothing but 5 star accolades to give them!!!!! This trip will change your life!

The tour includes a well balance of culture, religions, cities and landscapes. Mr. Bhagwat (the tour operator), Badri (the tour guide) and Ramesh (the driver) are all nice, resourceful, very much caring and attended to details. The sunsets and sunrises of Himalayan mountain ranges are amazing. The selected hotels are well located to offer convenient city access in Kathmandu and wonderful views of valleys and Himalayan mountain peaks in Nagarkot, Pokhara and Bandipur. We were lucky that the sky was mostly clear during our trip in November. We had only 2 cloudy days but no rain. Being Buddhist, we appreciated very much the visit to Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha, and the surrounding temples. The roads were very rough, more than expected, due to unfinished construction and heavy traffic. However we, all seniors, still survived with no back pain. Badri, our guide, is very knowledgeable in all aspects of Nepal. Ramesh, our driver, is very skillful and drove safely in congested conditions.

The best tour guide company to work with for our ABC trekking trip. The nicest owner, Bhagwat. The best guide, Prakash, and the super porters, especially Surman. They were very helpful and kept us safe to complete the trekking trip. A solid 5 star tour guide company on Nepal.

It’s our first time to Nepal & we did trekking. While still in our own city, Bhagwat proactively answered all our questions via chat. This set our minds at ease & helped prepare us mentally for our trip. During our trekking, Badri guided us patiently & took good care of us, fill us in with all sorts of information & knowledge of the Nepal mountains. Thanks & we had a good adventure! Hope to visit Nepal again!

I would wholeheartedly recommend booking a trip with Baghwat and Himalayan Adventure Treks and Tours. My parents lived in Nepal during the 60s and I wanted a taste of the country. This tour was perfect for accomplishing my goals. My friend Anita and I enjoyed an Everest flight, temples, cultural dancing, excellent food, wonderful accommodations, hiking, village visits, wildlife in Chitwan National Park including one horned rhinos and horn bills, Diwali celebrations, boat rides on Lake Pokhara, monastaries, waterfalls, caves and many other unforgettable sites. Our guides and drivers were friendly and knowledgeable and took excellent care of us. Baghwat could be easily contacted at any time and we were able to personalize our tour and itinerary. Yes, the roads are bumpy...but the rest stops for tea and beautiful views as well as the slices of life that we were able to take in while passing through villages made it worth it. I was only 4 weeks into TKR surgery and every care was taken to ensure my comfort. I am an avid global traveler and this was one of the best trips I've taken. We will be back in 2026 to trek next time with Himalayan Adventure Treks and Tours. Thank you for the memories!

Incredible experience! The hikes were amazing, the tour was well organized and communication was excellent. Prakash our guide was the absolute best, and the leader of the company Bhagwat was very well organized and made sure the trip went smoothly. I highly recommend this company, especially for logistics in an area where weather can change your plans.

Bhagwat who started and owns the company was very professional and personable. Organised everything and it all happened seamlessly, despite our guild being trapped in Lukla due to weather. Bhagwat got him down by helicopter to make our trip on time. Our Guild, Bodrit Karki. What can I say, a pleasure to spend time with. Intelligent, knowledgeable, great laugh, looked after us and the bikes all the way. Nothing he doesn’t know about his country, the mountains and our surroundings. He’s a walking encyclopaedia. All the accommodation was much better than expected. More hotel than tea house. The Tibetan border is closed to all foreigners so we were not allowed with 15km of it. Which was disappointing, but not their fault. Bodrit made up for it by adding in an extra place to see and stay. I could not recommend them more highly. Top Tip. If you’re going Upper Mustang, take a Honda, not a Royal Enfield.

Spent 2 days with Badri in Kathmandu visiting several cultural sites. Badri was knowledgeable, friendly and it was a pleasure to spend time with him.

The trip was amazing, and the highlight was our guide, Badri. Always in good spirits and providing impeccable service! Highly recommended
