I was a solo female traveler doing Annapurna Circuit. I worried a little bit before I went to Nepal how I would handle the trek, but my guide and now also a very good friend Bam Tamang made the whole trek so special. Bam always made sure that I am OK, we discussed the route together, he tailored the whole trek to my needs, we had so much FUN (k vayo!!), I always felt 100 % safe and also the guesthouses he picked were nice (sometimes I even had better deal thanks to Bam). He is very kind, experienced, knowledgable and responsible. We changed our plan once due to upcoming snow - he recommended to skip Tilicho Lake and it was a very good decision. We would probably not be able to cross the Thorong La pass and I cannnot imaging doing the pass without him because it was snowing already. Bam also tought me a lot about mountains, he told me so many stories about his life and life in Nepal in general. When I felt sick once he was totally awesome and helped me a lot. And I also didn’t took any pills althought I did the altitude for the first time - he did everything to be sure that I could handle it. I enjoyed the Annapurna Circuit so much that we decided to do also Mardi Himal Trek right afterwards.
Bam I cannot say enough thank you for everything you have done for me. I hope I will come back to Nepal soon so we can do another trek together!
Mohan the agency owner was also super nice, perfect in communication. He helps you with anything before and even after the trek. He also arranged a bus for me twice. I had a very special dinner with him and his family after the trek. Big thanks also to you Mohan.
You can’t go wrong with Hi Nepal Travels & Treks. I can highly recommend the agency.

Mr. Mohan is a gem of a human being, at every opportunity he was only trying to help us and we felt super safe and looked after with him. We visited a few well known shops in Pokhara with more reviews but in the end decided to go with Mohan because of his genuineness and competitive pricing. We felt we could trust Mohan to help us with our trip and he did that and much more.
He paired us with our guide Krishna, who was the best guide that we could have asked for. Always looking after us and sharing as much information about the trek as possible. We did the Mardi Himal trek for 5N / 6D, and ended up decided to cut it short by 1 day to catch an earlier flight and it was no problem at all.
Krishna is a thoroughly amazing person, always securing the best rooms for us, taking us to the tea houses with the best food and generally making sure we always had the best experience.
I would definitely recommend both Mohan to organise the trip and Krishna as the...
Read moreReached out to Mohan about 4 months before the planned trek via recommendation from a local friend to plan for the solo ABC trek. Mohan was responsive throughout and gave good advice. Pricing was fair too.
The trek was led by my guide, Bishnu Timilsina. Throughout the trek, Bishnu was helpful and attentive. At every crossing that's more technical, he always stops to ensure that I cross safely. Even a slight slip while walking will get his attention and he'll always check to make sure i'm okay! More importantly, we were able to accelerate the itinerary as we moved faster than planned, and Bishnu was able to make changes for accommodation quickly and effectively - something that other guides were not able to from what I heard from other trekkers, especially during the peak October season.
Overall, I'm more than happy to plan my next trek with both Mohan and Bishnu....
