Reviews ( 1 Reviews For This Package )

Harm Rooijen Van & Britta Willems, From The Netherlands -September 16- 22 - 2023.

Super clear communication, very professional, and amazing company.

Initially, we were about to choose a hike without a guide but in the end, we are very glad we chose to go with a guide from Visit Himalaya Treks!

Once in contact, which started already in the Netherlands, the communication with Himal was very open and easy. His response was clear and fast. Also the itinerary, costs and ‘what to arrange’ were clear from the start. The package could be adapted to our starting point and wishes and he also helped with questions on our further itinerary.

We did the Mardi Himal Trek and our guide was Ngima Kaji Sherpa, an absolute stunner! With his years of experience as a porter, assistant guide, guide, and climber but still being fairly young at age, he was the perfect guide for our trek. He was able to tell us all about the flora and fauna, the different mountains, and the local communities. Next to that, he explained his personal history and current life. This is a perfect way to work out, enjoy amazing views, and get to know about Nepalese culture.

We were super lucky with the weather and got clear views and a little rain. I would recommend Visit Himalaya Treks and Ngima to anyone!
