Amazing trip - 10 of us recently did a 16-day annapurna circuit trek with himalayan adventures. The entire trek was very well managed. Our guide, Badri, was top notch and took care of all our needs. Accommodation, food, travel, porters and guides were all arranged perfectly and we had very little to complain about. Thank you for an amazing trip!

Seamless and amazing experience - The whole trip was beautifully managed by the team. It was seamless and we had no issues what so ever. Our guide Badri Karki was just amazing. He knew all the roads and he also knew about the recent floods and damaged bridges and what not. He had a good research about the route. The whole team guide and porters were super supportive. They took care of all our needs. We'll planned and we'll managed. Badri went beyond to help us when we needed it. He was more than a guild to us. Very very happy with there service. Thank you Himalayan Adventure tours and travels. We will definitely book future treks/tours with you and I will definitely recommend it to everyone I know.

The entire team was super friendly and trustworthy, which made our trip even memorable. Bhagavat Ji’s planing and execution was done seamlessly. Highly recommend to engage Himalayan Adventure Tours and Travels for your next adventure.

Mountain memories with the best! - Apart from the fantastic views, the guide Prakash and the flexibility of the company in adapting to weather and logistic changes quickly made this trek most memorable. We were 3 of us who did the semi circuit trek and were extremely happy with all the tea houses we stayed at and the support and guidance of Bhagwat and Prakash before and during the trek. The fact that we could stick to our pace, enjoy each day without rushing and deadlines allowed a very personalized experience. While there is always a degree of unforeseen adventure, safety was always looked after. Highly recommended especially if interested in further curating the trip as per your preference, with guidance.

Additionally the guide he hired was very decent and made sure I felt safe as a solo female traveller. I would really recommend the company to anyone looking forward to coming to nepal.

3 of the best weeks of my life - Our 4-people group started at Ngadi and worked our way slowly upwards, letting our bodies acclimatize when necessary. Beware of the insane climbs at Ghyaru & High Camp. Always make sure to have enough time left in the day to reach your next pitstop otherwise you may end up hiking in pitch black darkness! (like these 4 idiots here). Always bring light snacks, handy in an emergency and ensure you have altitude pills on standby. Always be wary of altitude sickness as it is a serious and real condition up there. Absolute must visit places: Tilicho Lake Kakbeni Muktinath
