Excellent I just completed the 10-day Annapurna Base Camp trek with Anil as my guide, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation I had going in. From day one, Anil's professionalism set the tone for the entire trip. He was always well-prepared, punctual, and clearly prioritised our safety at every stage of the trek — whether it was pacing us correctly for acclimatisation, making smart calls on the trail, or ensuring we were well-rested before the harder days. You could tell this wasn't just a job for him; he genuinely cared about getting us to base camp and back safely. What really impressed me was how calm and composed he remained throughout. That kind of quiet confidence is exactly what you want when you're days into a mountain trek and pushing your limits. I never once felt uncertain about the route or our wellbeing. The trek itself — the rhododendron forests, the mountain villages, the jaw-dropping views of Machapuchare and the Annapurna massif — was breathtaking. But having Anil alongside made it a truly special experience rather than just a physical challenge. If you're considering the ABC trek, book with Anil without hesitation. You're in safe, capable hands.

Mont Everest view point It was our first time in Himalayas . From being picked up at the airport to the Mont Everest view point and all the way back our guide Suraj was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way. Suraj and our Porter Kancha are very wonderful people that made the trip a lifetime experience. Suraj was taking care of us all time from the morning to the evening. Whenever we were tired , he used to motivate us but also was telling us to take time and rest when needed. If you also want to experience tracking in Himalayas then Himalaya View Treks is definitely the company we can recommend. Thank You guys , for enhancing this trip more than we ever could have expected

Mardi Himal Trek Mardi Himal. Contacted the company, got zero pressure, only straight forward information. Booked up, met our guide (Sunja) at Pokhara airport, then the trek begun. Our guide Sunja was friendly, helpful, and a lot of fun to walk with for 4 days on the Mardi Himal trek. I’d definitely recommend the company, our guide and the pleasant, relatively easy Mardi Himal trek. Just make sure to practice your card playing and badminton skills beforehand, as Sunja will beat you.

15 daagse trek in de Annapurna conservation area. Nepal Annapurna. Geweldige trek naar abc camp '(Sanctuary trek) en Mardi Himal. Na het klimmen van vele trappen en de kou trotserend (maart) wordt je beloond op een machtig mooi uitzocht op vele 8000ers van de Himalaya. Inmiddels is het verplicht om een gids mee te nemem. Sujan onze gids heeft ons goed geholpen. Er lag veel sneeuw, gelukkig heeft Sujan crampons voor ons geregeld waardoor de tocht gemakkelijk te doen was. Daarnaast weet hij overal de weg en kan veel vertellen over de flora en fauna van de omgeving. Zo ook over de cultuur en gebruiken van Nepalese bevolking. We zijn al vaak in Nepal geweest en telkens leren we wat bij. Himalyan Vieuw Trek biedt een overzichtelijke site, afspraken zijn duidelijk en de ontvangst is vriendelijk. Daarnaast vindt ik het goed dat er regels gesteld worden, bv over het maximaal aantal kilo,s wat je de porter/porterguide mag meegeven aan bagage. Dat zie je onderweg wel anders gebeuren. We zijn na de trek nog 2 dagen door het middengebergte gelopen ipv meteen een jeep terug te nemen naar Pokhara. Een aanrader om kennis te maken met de Nepalese cultuur en bevolking. We waren zeer welkom in de homestay en de dorpen. De oude trails zijn nog steeds grotendeels begaanbaar, dus zeker doen! Ik kijk terug op een zeer geslaagde trekking.

Great experience in Langtang with Sorbit and Ram Excellent experience on the Langtang Valley Trek guided Sorbit (Sofi) with Ram as our porter. Sorbit and Ram were very accommodating and made sure we had fun even on the days of the walk we found a bit more challenging. Sorbit had great energy, lots of funny stories and was really quick at spotting wildlife, so we got to see lots of monkeys and deer! Ram was such a legend for carrying our stuff, we could not have done this trek without their support. Langtang was a great mix of Forrest walking and mountain views, so would recommend for anyone looking for a week long trek.

Poon hill trek 🫶 I had an amazing time during my four day poon hill trek and want to thank my amazing guide Anil for being there with me!! 🫂🙏 If you have thought about trekking in Nepal but feel overwhelmed by the idea of that, don’t fear! With the careful planning and execution by the trekking company you don’t have anything to worry about. Everything was organised carefully and although it is sometimes challenging it’s also made comfortable to enjoy with the help of your guide. Anil was amazing at checking in making sure I was comfortable, organising all my meals and helping with overnight stays as well as offering me friendly company and laughs throughout and his extreme patience has not gone unnoticed. Thanks so much for looking after me on this trek, I had an amazing time on the mountain and felt inspired and grounded. I leave with a special place for this area in my heart. I feel like I learnt so much on my short time in the mountain ⛰️ Thank you Anil and thanks to the tour company for putting together such a special achievable first trek in this beautiful country 🇳🇵

We did the langtang valley trek with this agency. It was an amazing experience. We just showed up to their office and were taken care of right away. Our guide Suraj was AMAZING. I can’t recommend him enough. He made sure that we were comfortable at all moments of the trek, and he gave us so many informations on the region and answered every questions we had. When I come back to Nepal, i will ask for him again for sure.

My EBC trek was an amazing experience! Everything was very well organized, and my female guide Samikshya took great care of me throughout the journey. Even when things didn’t go exactly as planned, she handled every situation very professionally and with a positive attitude. I always felt safe and supported. The company leader Simbir Ghale was always available and found a solution for everything. I highly recommend trekking with her and with the company — a truly great experience!

I completed an unforgettable 11-day trek to Poon Hill and Annapurna Base Camp with Himalaya View Treks, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The company was incredibly flexible and well-organized, tailoring the trip to our preferences and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Our guide Suraj kept us motivated and informed throughout, while our porter Anil was always cheerful and helpful — both were fantastic. Special thanks to Simbir for coordinating everything so efficiently and making the whole journey seamless. The stunning views, rich culture, and the team’s support made this adventure truly memorable. Highly recommended!
