Stunning experience - A memorable trip! We went as part of a Yoga trip organised by Anam yoga and happy land treks. It was an amazing experience! Everything was planned to perfection with a smiling face! We didn't have to worry about a thing as everything was already considered, so all we had to do was walk. Happy, our guide, was always a pleasure to be around, always encouraging on the tougher trekking days.
The food was consistently good, the accommodation always had stunning vistas. We were there as part of our honeymoon, so we reckon happy and his team should look into couples trekking and honeymoon packages yet!
It was the best holiday I've ever had!

Amazing Trip the Annapurna Way - What a trip and what an UNBELIEVABLE team to do it it with! Happy & his team made me and my group of friends feel so safe, secure + looked after. Happy was so knowledgeable about the area and made any tricky bits more far more doable by staying with us and talking us through. They organised everything, kept us well fed and even organised some of our agendas after we left them like our Everest trip/taxis/safe returns etc. Couldn't recommend them highly enough and truly hope our paths cross again.

Trip of a lifetime! - I had the most incredible time on the Poon Hill Trek in the Himalayas with Happy Land Treks! Thank you so so much Bimal 'Happy', Aayush and the rest of your team. From the moment I was greeted at the airport by Bimal with the most welcoming smile and given flowers around my neck, a fresh marigold garland, I knew I would be well looked after. I am so grateful to have experienced my first time in Nepal, a country I now hold dear in my heart, alongside such a supportive and experienced team. You all made the trip so enjoyable and the trip of a lifetime as it was planned so well and the organisation everyday to the smallest of details was so impressive.
There were so many highlights of this trip! The sunrise trek to Poon Hill amidst twinkling stars, a gorgeous sunrise over the magnificent Anapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain Ranges enjoying a warming hot chocolate, walking along lush mountain ranges, valleys and waterfalls, soaking in the Tatopani hot springs at sunset was absolutely divine and trekking back to the hotel with our head torches added to the adventure, sitting around communal fires sharing stories with fellow trekkers, observing everyday family and farming life of local families, enjoying the incredible local Nepali cuisine and one of my favourite... capturing epic action shots at the summit with the HappyLand team-the best fun!
To the kindest and experienced tour guide Bimal and the loveliest team, thank you so much, Il be back!

A holiday to remember in Nepal - Where to start?! Happy and his team are absolute legends.
My wife and I wanted to trek, to experience Nepal and the Himalayas. However, we're not the best planners. We signed up to a joint venture between Anam Yoga & Happyland adventures which is a match made in heaven.
The best people with an unbelievable itinerary. We just showed up, embraced the experience, and they looked after the rest.
They sorted the logistics, looked after the permits, booked the best teahouses & restaurants, picked the good routes through the mountains, and made sure we didn't get lost.
There were still days & evenings where we could do our own thing though; Happy had that factored in!
We then hiked, we ate the most delicious food(can't beat a Dahl bat), we did yoga on rooftops looking at Sun rise over mountains, we learned snippets of the language(dik cha?), we asked Aayush and the guys a million questions about Nepal, we played cards by the fire, we bathed in hot springs & cold rivers, and do you know what; we laughed an awful lot.

Recommended to all adventure lovers from EU who plan to hike in Nepal - HappyLandTreks.com and Bimal is highly recommended to all adventure lovers from EU who plan to visit Nepal.
We got it all arranged by them to have a nice hiking experience - so only possitive feedbak! Starting from domestic flights, mountain accommodations, hiking track selections, safety/preparation instructions, daily pulse/feedback checks on how we feel, full support during the entire journey, airpot meetup and the hike itself etc. Very good guide selection (Asha recommended! Ask for him! He knows a lot of stories to tell about peaks or locations while hiking), and overall they are fun to go!

Lucky off season trek - I landed Happy and his team with a last minute trip on the Annapurna circuit, while I was traveling around India.
In a few days they managed to sort out the best route for me and all the extra detail’s required, which I would not have been able to do in my limited time.
I would highly recommend Happyland treks, they went above and beyond.
Manish was my guide and we got on so well, I learned so much from him, he has a way with Irish people, lucky.
Even though it was tough, felt like I was on holidays as he arranged buses, jeeps and reroutes in order for me to complete my tight schedule and it was as hassle free as possible for the season in question.
I had a great experience and will likely book again in the future, when I get a chance to return to Nepal.

Most incredible trek I've ever done - This was simply such an incredible trek and that was because of Happyland. They thought about absolutely everything from collecting us at the airport and welcoming us, ensuring we always had our stuff, communicating the plan for each day, checking in constantly and ensuring we had lots of fun. I honestly could not recommend them anymore. I was so impressed with them that I then changed my plans and went to Everest with them which was also incredible. Thank you Happy and team - I will be back!
