chiara7362025-09-21Unforgettable experiemce - Gosaikunda / Langtang trek We are glad that we have chosen Himalaya View Treks. Simbir always replied very fast and we agreed on everything before the trek.We did 11 day Gosaikunda - Langtang trek. Originally our plans wery different, on the way to starting point at Syabru Bensi road was blocked by demonstration and we couldn't pass. Therefore we completely changed our trek itinerary and started trek from another place. Our guide Anil was extremely helpful, kind, patient. He always respected our needs. We really apreciate his assistance whenpassing through landslide area and crossing the mountain streams.Anh Hao Ng2025-09-02Unforgetable experience at EBC • We only had a few days (10 days) while the usual trek takes 12 days. Our guide Ram helped us arrange the itinerary to suit the duration and physical demands, as well as finding the best teahouses.• During the trek, due to the lack of time to acclimatize to the altitude, I experienced respiratory issues. Ram provided immense support to help me recover and continue the journey.• We were cared for with great enthusiasm, supported fully from meals to rest, and the guide even brought apples for us to eat along the way. He also provided water and occasionally shared wifi for us to use. We highly appreciate the company and the individual efforts of our guide Ram and porter Santos. We strongly encourage everyone to support the company’s continued success and wish Ram and Santos further growth in their careers.Ngoc T2025-08-31Everest base camp - Aug 2025 The 10-day Everest Base Camp trek was an extraordinary adventure, thanks to the tour company’s exceptional service. Their passionate team expertly guided me to select a tour perfectly suited to my needs. Our guide, Mr. Ram, was warm, highly skilled, and crafted an itinerary that optimized my limited time while minimizing altitude challenges. His deep knowledge enriched every moment. The porter, Mr. Santos, was tirelessly carrying my three heavy bags and went along with us throughout the way ensuring my comfort. I’m thrilled with this unforgettable experience and the team’s professionalism. I’ll definitely book with them again! Highly recommended! Chuyến trekking 10 ngày đến Everest base camp là một hành trình tuyệt vời. Đội ngũ công ty đã tư vấn tôi nhiệt tình giúp tôi chọn tour phù hợp với nhu cầu. Hướng dẫn viên, anh Ram, thân thiện, dày dạn kinh nghiệm, đã thiết kế lộ trình tối ưu cho thời gian hạn chế của tôi, đồng thời giảm thiểu các vấn đề về độ cao. Kiến thức sâu rộng của anh làm phong phú thêm hành trình. Người khuân vác, anh Santos, không mệt mỏi mang ba túi nặng của tôi và luôn đồng hành, đảm bảo sự thoải mái cho tôi. Tôi vô cùng hài lòng với trải nghiệm khó quên này và sự chuyên nghiệp của đội ngũ. Chắc chắn tôi sẽ lại đặt tour với họ! Rất khuyến nghị!Elliot J2025-06-05Amazing hike through Annapurna Well organised from start to finish for the Annapurna Circuit. Good communication from Simbir throughout.

We were picked up from Kathmandu airport and taken to our hotel in Kathmandu, and Simbir met us beforehand in order to go through all of the trek information and answer any questions. Our guide Ram and our porter Anil were both so kind and friendly, and made sure we were happy and looked after the whole time. Ram taught us lots about Nepali culture and answered our many many questions about food, culture, wildlife etc. He gave us ample opportunities for breaks and was very patient with us whilst we took hundreds of pictures of the breathtaking landscapes. Ram and Anil also kindly repaired my partner’s bag when it broke halfway through the trek. The teahouses were cosy, and it was so nice that Ram and Anil sorted everything for us, like rooms and meals, so that we didn’t have to worry about anything. Going over the Thorong La pass was a challenge but a huge achievement, and so beautiful. We would highly recommend trekking with this company, especially with Ram and Anil!Naomi C2025-05-07Pikey Peak trek - 6 days We made the Pikey Peak trek with Himalaya View Treks over 6 days including 2 days of travel and 4 days of hiking, it was an absolutely memorable experience. This trek is ideal for those looking for a less crowded alternative to the classics while offering spectacular views of the Himalayas, including Everest.One of the most significant moments was undoubtedly the sunrise from the summit of Pikey Peak. This is an exceptional panorama with a view of Nepal’s iconic peaks.The trek itself is of moderate difficulty, accessible with a minimum of physical preparation. The trails cross traditional Sherpas villages, rhododendron forests and very peaceful rolling landscapes. We were warmly welcomed in the lodges, with simple but tasty local cuisine.Our guide Suraj was professional, attentive and passionate about the area. Our wearer Sujan, always smiling, greatly facilitated our progress. Their presence not only made walking lighter, but enriched the human experience of trekking.I highly recommend this trek to Himalaya View Treks for those who want a well-organized authentic adventure, away from the crowds, with exceptional views of Everest.Jeremy C2025-05-07Amazing 6-Day Trek to Pikey Peak – Highly Recommended! We had an amazing 6-day trek to Pikey Peak, and I can't recommend it enough! The views of the Himalayas, especially Everest at sunrise from the summit, were absolutely breathtaking. The route was peaceful and less crowded, allowing us to really enjoy the beauty of the nature and the hospitality of the local people.Our guide Suraj was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and always made sure we were comfortable and safe throughout the journey. Our porter Sujan was also incredibly kind and helpful.The accommodations in the tea houses were basic but cozy, with delicious local food. Every day of the trek was well-organized and filled with beautiful landscapes.If you're looking for a less touristy and beautiful trekking experience in Nepal, Pikey Peak is the one and I strongly encourage you to book the trek with Himalaya View Treks!Liz K2025-05-06Langtang Valley I booked the trip to Langtang Valley only the evening before I wanted to go! The company was great & organised everything so quickly.I met with Sofi the guide on day 1 of the trip. He was helpful, friendly and organised everything seamlessly.The landscape was beautiful walking alongside the river, up through the forest to beautiful mountain ranges.The highlight was trekking at sunrise to kyanji ri.Sofi organised great little b&b’s as well as great lunch spots along the way.The trek surpassed expectations & I’ll definitely be using the company again.
Hayley2024-04-10would absolutely recommend this company to do your trekking with in Nepal. From the moment we messaged simbir, he was so helpful with any questions/worries we had.

Will definitely use again when we return to Nepal, thank you for everything guys✨✨Shermel2024-03-18Embarked on a 9 days EBC trek with Sofi and Jivan, our guide and porter.

Highly recommended!Olga Poltavskaya2024-01-05We used the services of a porter guide from the company on the Annapurna base camp trek. Rahul was truly amazing! so helpful and easy! We really appreciated his looking after us, helping pick the best accommodation and break spots along the way, making sure we are warm and positive. Would strongly recommend Rahul for those trekkers who look for a devoted and switched on porter guide.Mateusz Malzacher2023-12-19We had a fantastic 3 passes hike thanks to the guidance, expertise and professionalism of Bishal Rai. He was a great trip partner, providing local knowledge and a sense of humor along the way. He even pointed out all the peak names to us many times due to our forgetfulness. Thank you and highly recommend Himalaya View Treks and guide, Bishal Rai.Alejandro Espigares2023-12-01Realicé el trek del Campo Base Everest y todo fue increíble. Yo lo hice en solitario junto a mi guía Suraj y lo recomiendo 100%, muy atento y es un experto del terreno, sabe en todo momento como actuar si te encuentras mal o cansado y buscar una nueva ruta. La agencia me dio mucha seguridad en todo momento y me sentí acompañado en todo momento. Lo volvería a contratar una y mil veces. Gracias!!!A Expen5ive2023-11-22Our Guide Rahul made sure that it was a pleasant Trek from start to finish. Very knowledgeable about the areas and always puts the safety and wellbeing of us first. When you book your Trek make sure you ask for Rahul.Patrick Thumm2023-11-21Meine Frau und ich haben uns für eine „kurze“ Tour im Himalaya interessiert. Über das Internet sind wir auf Himalayan View Treks gestoßen. Sie haben die 8 Tage Annapurna Short Trek Tour angeboten. Die Kommunikation im Vorfeld per Mail mit Simbir lief super. Er konnte uns vorab alle Informationen geben. Auch eine individuelle Anpassung der Tour (z. B. per Flugzeug zurück) wäre möglich gewesen. Obwohl wir zunächst ein paar Tage in Kathmandu verbracht haben, wurden wir bei Ankunft von unserem Guide abgeholt und zum Hotel gebracht. So sind wir entspannt angekommen. An Tag 1 der Tour wurden wir früh morgens vom Hotel von unserem Guide (D. B.) und unserem Porter (Manoj) abgeholt. Tag 2-7 sind wir von Chame über Pisang, Manang, Ledar, High Camp über den Thorong La Pass nach Muktinath gewandert. Insgesamt waren es ca. 80km, 4.100m nach oben und 3.100m nach unten zu wandern. Tag 8 ging dann per Jeep zurück nach Pokhara. Trotz der für unsere Verhältnisse langen Strecke ging die Tour super zu laufen. Das lag vor allem auch an unserem Guide und Porter! D. B. hat sich stets nach unserem Wohlbefinden erkundet. Jeden Abend gab es einen kurzen Tagesrückblick und Lagebesprechung für den kommenden Tag. So konnten wir währenddessen noch entscheiden, ob wir an einem Tag etwas weiter laufen, um am darauffolgenden Tag etwas weniger machen müssen. Er ging da sehr gut auf uns ein. Manoj hat unseren schweren Rucksack getragen und wir konnten uns so ganz aufs Trekking konzentrieren. Darüber waren wir sehr dankbar. Auch er hat sich immer um uns gekümmert (are you ok? 😉) D.B. hat uns über den gesamten Trek viel Wissen über das Land und die Berge vermittelt. Außerdem konnte er uns viele interessante Bergsteiger Geschichten erzählen. Wir hatten 8 unbeschreibliche Tage! Unsere anfänglich Angst und Sorge, es nicht zu schaffen wurde uns durch den professionellen Umgang komplett genommen. Vielen Dank dafür!Daniel Weller2023-10-17Just returned home from a fantastic adventure holiday on the EBC trek. Himalaya View Treks couldn't of been more helpful from choosing and booking our trek before we arrived through to dropping us back to the airport once we had finished , nothing was too much trouble. Before coming to Nepal me and my dad was unsure if we needed a guide however we are now so pleased that we decided to get one. Sobit our guide made the experience so much better as he took care of all the arrangements and organising leaving us to concentrate on the trek and enjoy the scenery without any stress. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Himalaya View Treks and would request Sobit as a guide as he was brilliant!!!!Patrik Penzeš2023-10-05Great experience! Our guide Bishal became our friend in short time and made the trekking easier. I am grateful to both Bishal and Simbir for this experience. I strogly recommend Manaslu circuit trek with Bishal from himalaya view treks!
