A 7-day Langtang trek with this local tour operator is highly recommended! We had five wonderful, tough, fun, beautiful, and overwhelming days of trekking, experiencing Nepal’s raw natural power up close. We hiked from Syabrubesi to Kyanjin Gompa (a 2,400-meter altitude gain!) in three days and descended in two. Along the way, we passed through lush forests, steep mountain slopes, and even snowy trails. When the weather was clear, the views of countless towering peaks were absolutely unforgettable.
The entire experience was guided by our experienced guide, Binod, and our knees were especially grateful to have the kind porter, Rajendra, with us. Binod managed everything perfectly, paid close attention to how we were feeling, and adjusted the pace according to our needs. He was also very aware of altitude sickness symptoms. We took Diamox but didn’t experience any issues. Unfortunately, I caught a bad cold just before the trek, but Binod was ready with medicine, Strepsils, and ginger tea.
He and Rajendra make a fun duo, adding to the fantastic experience! Along the way, the company were easy to reach if we needed any additional assistance – though we never actually had to. We were two sisters on this adventure, and we are SO happy that we gave ourselves this experience!
I had an amazing experience with this tour! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. I appreciated their patience and care in making sure everyone was comfortable and informed. Highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a fantastic experience!
I am partial to the Langtang Himal. Fond memories of hiking through villages and pausing for each breathtaking vista. The staff of this company are attentive to needs and tuned to the expectations and interests of each traveler.
Explore the beauty of the Langtang region of Nepal on a 6-day Langtang Valley trekking tour. The Langtang Valley Trek is probably the nearest trekking trail in Kathmandu. The journey takes you to Langtang National Park which boasts one of the most breathtaking views of the pristine countryside and high alpine meadows. The optional hike to Kyanjin Ri or Tsergo Ri offers 360-degree views of the mountain range such as Dorje Lakpa (6,990 m), Langtang Ri (6,370 m) and Langtang Lirung (7,245 m).
Langtang trek is the perfect option for any enthusiastic trekker with a limited time and budget, looking for an easy trekking route. The total distance of Langtang Valley Trek up to Kyanjin Gompa is around 78km from Kathmandu which will finish in 6 days. If travelers want to explore more diversity and extend their trip, there are other higher altitude trekking routes from Langtang Valley such as the Tamanag Heritage Trail or Langtang Gosaikunda Holy Lake trek.

I wanna tell you about our super fun time on the Manaslu circuit. The views were amazing, and the paths were quiet. We saw different things, like pretty rhododendron forests and big snowy peaks. Our guide, knew a lot and helped us understand the people and nature there. He made sure everyone in our group had a good time, no matter how much hiking they did before. They told us about the trip on the first night, and they took us for a yummy dinner with dancing in Kathmandu. They took really good care of us, and if you want to have a cool adventure, I totally say go with them to explore Manaslu. It's like a hidden treasure waiting for you!
We have just returned from a trip to Everest Base Camp (over 55's in comfort - 12 April to 2 May). We loved it! Our group Guide, Tshering, Assistant Guide, Santosh and Sirdar, Rajan together with the "boys" (4 strong boys, cook and assistant cook) were wonderful, they were hard working and reliable. Friendly, helpful, informative, calm and encouraging. We were all over 60! 5 out of 7 got the Khumbu cough! Only one person showed any signs of altitude sickness and the length of the trip certainly helped acclimatise. Tshering made sure we received adequate medical advice and assistant if required. We all made it to EBC and certainly the longer trip, sensible acclimatisation and slow pace helped with this achievement. I'm still feeling proud. Whilst we were probably the most experienced hikers in our group, we had a member who had no trekking experience or etiquette in our group but we worked as a team and walked to the ability of the slowest. How wonderful it was to sit down at the end of each day knowing a drink, food, bed and warm dining room were all there waiting for us. Meals were tasty and enough offered for everyone, Santosh always on hand to offer us seconds. I almost always cleaned my plate! My favourites were the soups, porridge, potatoes, paratha's and chapati's, lentil dhal - always some veggies, all cooked expertly on a gas/kero stove. It was so reassuring to know we could eat and drink without fear of stomach issues which would have made the arduous trek even tougher! Yep, WE itinerary and experience showed and we would not hesitate in booking another trip in Nepal with WE. The contingency plan to get us back to Kathmandu by helicopter in time to catch international flights was well managed and executed. ****** Thanks all round to the team and ground staff in Nepal! P.S. the water bottles with hot water at bedtime to pop inside our sleeping bags - the best idea ever!
The Annapurna Circuit Trek with Tilicho Lake ranks among the most illustrious treks you can take in Nepal. It promises adventure, sights, and culture.
In this 15-dat journey, you will get a rare perspective of Annapurna (8,097 m), Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Manaslu (8,163 m), Machhapuchhre (6,993 m) and Tukuche (6,920), among many other peaks. The other highlight of this trip is the stunning Tilicho (4,919 m), world's highest elevation lake. Traversing the Thorong La Pass (5,416 m) also promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, despite being one of the most challenging part of the journey.
Throughout the trek, we will see a variety of sceneries and zones that range from subtropic to alpine terrains, encounter numerous ecosystems, and unique cultures of mountain communities. We will travel past mountain streams, rhododendron forests, mountain valleys, and gorges.

I completed the EBC trek with this local tour operator in October. From the beginning the company were excellent. They responded to all questions very quickly and clearly. They provided lots of extra information for me for my stay in Kathmandu. The guide on my trek, Raj, was excellent. He was great fun and had our safety as his first priority all the time. He kept us positive throughout and gave us clear information before each day of what would happen. The lodges we stayed in were exactly what we needed and the food throughout the trek was great. Our porters were also great fun and so kind. Raj was excellent at keeping everyone together and making sure that everybody was ok during the trek. We had a beautiful celebratory dinner once we had completed the trek, where we saw some traditional dancing and received plaques to remember our trek. The trek exceeded my expectations and I think a lot of that is down to Himalayan Recreation. I would highly recommend them for your trek!
The AP mini circuit has to be considered as a viable alternative to the full circuit(which I have not done) - if you have a fortnight and are confident of your trekking abilities, you will get all the thrill of the trek up the Valley and over the 5416m pass , a descent through the incredible Mustang valley on the other side followed by a memorable flight past the AP range back to Pokhara .
Venture into one of the most iconic treks in the world. The Thorong La Pass Trek also called Annapurna Circuit Trek is a popular and breathtakingly beautiful trekking route offering a mesmerizing blend of natural beauty, cultural exploration, and challenging mountainous terrain. The trek takes you through diverse landscapes, from lush green valleys to arid high-altitude deserts, the trans-Himalayan region, and provides stunning views of snow-capped peaks, including the mighty Annapurna massif.
Within the Annapurna Conservation Area, the trail winds through terraced fields, quaint villages, and rhododendron forests, gradually gaining elevation to rough terrain and into the trans-Himalayan region and through the Kali Gandaki Gorge, the deepest gorge in the world. Along the way, you will encounter friendly locals from different ethnic communities of Gurungs, Magars, and Thakalis as you traverse charming villages, including the Holy site Muktinath, which holds great religious significance for Hindus and Buddhists.
Summiting the Thorong La Pass and standing at an altitude of 5,416 meters rewards the spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, including Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Manaslu. Along the trek, you will also witness the Nilgiri and Dhaulagiri mountains.
An amazing trip from start to finish! The natural landscapes and historical monuments were magnificent. Accommodation and meals were good and as expected in such corners of the planet - no surprises. Both of our Nepali and Tibetan guides were exemplary. They provided us with detailed information and responses to our questions. Our Nepali guide was very experienced with any signs of Altitude Sickness, and kept a close eye on us. I would thoroughly recommend this Adventure Tour.
This "10 Days Comfort Everest Base Camp Tours with Heli Return" is perfect for people who wish for both adventure and luxury on their trek to the foothill of the world's highest peak.

Nothing compares to the stunning views of the Everest region from a helicopter.
The day three and six of this trip have been set aside for acclimatization, since we are talking about trekking in high altitude region. The trek begins in Lukla, the gateway to the Everest region, and along the way, you will make stops at places like Namche Bazaar, Tyangboche and Dingboche. There will be plenty of stunning sights, from mountains to forests to streams, en route.
Besides taking in the awe-inspiring mountain sceneries, this journey is also a great way to learn about the mountain communities that reside in the Everest region, including the renowned Sherpas without whom mountaineering in Nepal is unimaginable.

Explore Kailash, the most sacred mountain in the Himalaya, during the Saga Dawa festival, and experience the traditional culture of sacred Tibet.. Mount Kailash has drawn pilgrims for centuries, believed to be the mythical Mount Meru, the spiritual centre of the universe. Sacred to Buddhists, Hindus, Jains and Bonpo alike, it’s a mountain revered more for its meaning than its summit. Set on the remote western reaches of the Tibetan Plateau, it’s one of the world’s most profound pilgrimage destinations, and also one of the hardest to reach.
This unique journey blends light trekking with immersive cultural touring. Starting in Chengdu, we travel overland from Lhasa through Gyantse and Shigatse, crossing stark plains and high mountain passes as we head deep into the spiritual heart of Tibet. Along the way we visit vibrant towns, ancient monasteries and sacred sites rarely seen by outsiders.
Timed to coincide with the Saga Dawa Festival - Tibet’s most important annual celebration, our journey reaches Mount Kailash at its most atmospheric. Pilgrims gather from across the region to honour the birth, enlightenment and death of Buddha, creating a rare spectacle of prayer, ritual and celebration.
We then join the sacred kora - a three-day walk around the base of Mount Kailash - alongside Tibetan pilgrims. Though not technically demanding, the high altitude and spiritual weight of the journey make it one of the world’s most unforgettable circuits. Following the kora, we conclude the journey in Kathmandu, completing a high-altitude arc through the sacred lands of Tibet and Nepal.
