Himalayan Trekking Path Pvt. Ltd.| Best Trekking Company in Nepal — Local services in Kathmandu Metropolitan City

These are the times you're glad you have an amazing guide!

I returned to Nepal in September 2024 to complete the Everest Base Camp trek with Himalayan Trekking Path. I also used this company last year to do the Annapurna Circuit and was so happy with their service. Ram made the process so easy for me and was really accommodating with my dates and wishes with getting an ensuite and offered me a helicopter back from Lukla instead of the less reliable flights. Everything was going very well for the first week and then right when we just started our last day up to base camp the weather started to change. We thankfully made it to base camp in the snow (amazing!) and then the next morning when we woke up the snow was getting deep. My guide Dendi knew that we had to get out and not get stuck there so we trekked for the next 2 days in the snow and rain back to Namche Bazar. There were points where I was unavoidably wet and cold and he made sure to help me dry all my gear and showed a lot of care and motivated me in the tough situation. The company was so happy to give me accommodation, Dendi and the porter for an extra 2 days. The wild weather can happen in the mountains and there were other people that had to abandon their trip to base camp or had to completely change the route they were planning on as the passes were closed and weren't passable. I definitely wouldn't have known what to do without a guide and having someone so capable that I trusted in that situation made all the difference. Once we got to Namche Bazar, Dendi made dozens and dozens of calls to try get me on a helicopter. There were so so many people waiting for days to try and get transport and it was so competitive to try and get a spot. It's not like a normal booking with a flight number and check in. You really needed someone to call in a favour to get you on there. Thankfully the next morning the weather was glorious and after much much effort Ram and Dendi were able to get me back to Kathmandu. It was still such an incredible trip. Overall most of the weather was still great and I got to see everything that I wanted to. Definitely so glad that I came back and absolutely glad that I used Himalayan Trekking Path!

From Sept 2023: I'm so happy with Ram and our guide Dendi. The Annapurna Circuit trek was quite challenging and there were so many special small things that added up in making sure that we had the best time possible. For example, getting an extra room so we didn't have to share a double bed, extra small hikes to help us acclimatise, a free city tour, changing the itinerary to a different route that we preferred, all teas and coffees and snacks and hot showers included, helping me get out to the airport when roads were blocked due to a festival, luggage delivered to Pokhara from Kathmandu so we had new clothes at the end... the list goes on. Dendi had amazing English and was such a great hiking companion as well. We were so cared for and supported and would definitely recommend this company to anyone thinking of...

I recently completed an unforgettable expedition to Mera Peak with Himmalayan Trekking Path and I am happy to share my experience. Overall, the trip was well organized with great service before and during the trek, making it clear this company prioritize their client's comfort and satisfaction.

Before the expedition, communication was seamless and the company provided preparation guidance and ensured we had all the necessary equipment, whatever was missing they either provided or provided guidance to where to get it. Though there was a small hiccup at pick up the team quickly apologized and made up for it with a local hike and a warm invite to Ram’s home for a homemade lassi and dhal bhat, a thoughtful gesture that set a welcoming tone.

On the trail, Dendi was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive (he already climbed 3 times Mera Peak this season), and added to the journey by naming mountain peaks, pointing out wildlife and sharing insights about the local flora even picking up wild fruits along the way. On the summit push; 2 guides supported us 2-people group, ensuring individual attention. We were glad the guides were carrying back-up oxygen in case of need. Dandi even provided hot water to help stay warm and provided me with his own gel when I started feeling weak and continuous mental support to push for the summit.

In regards with accommodation and food; the lodges we stayed at were often among the best in the area, and we could order whatever we wanted from the menu which we heard wasn't the case with every other company. Big up to the chicken burger in Kote. We were also provided with hot drinks at each proper break. After returning to Kathmandu we were treated to a celebratory dinner at a French restaurant which was a nice touch as we are French.

Overall, Ram and Dendi showed incredible attention to our needs and asks and always did their best to accommodate us so that our trip could be a great and memorable experience. Many pictures of the trip were captured by Dandi which was the cherry...

We completed the Everest Base Camp Trekking tour (14 days/13 nights) in early June. We had Ram as our guide and Bikash as our porter. Ram is a friendly and accommodating guide, making us feel welcome when we arrived in Kathmandu, throughout the trek, and until we left. His knowledge of the region is amazing, providing us with lots of information about the history and culture of the Sherpa people, Nepali culture and customs, and on the region itself. He made us feel safe throughout the journey. He always checked on us to see how we were feeling, if we needed a break, etc. Bikash is our super porter! He would encourage us along the way, and give us some good advice. Thank you for carrying our belongings!

The journey to and from Base Camp was challenging but super rewarding. We got to see some of the most spectacular views of the Himalayas while trekking in different environments, and appreciate some things that we would not usually think of. We did a sunrise hike to Kalapathar - and were rewarded with a magnificent sunrise and breathtaking views of the mountains including Everest, Ama Dablam, Nuptse and Lhotse. Reaching Base Camp was an accomplishment in itself, and it was fascinating to know that we were walking on a glacier! The tea houses were comfortable, and the itinerary was well-paced, allowing us to acclimatise properly (the hiking distance and time per day were reasonable and we got plenty of rest).

Some tips for when you embark on this trek: bring light and warm clothing, rain gear, altitude sickness pills, sun protection, water purification/filters and body wipes (for when there is no running water). Make sure you take it slowly as altitude sickness is real.

An awe-inspiring and unforgettable experience, I definitely recommend anyone to do this trek if they want a once in a...
