We booked our trip with Himalayan Heart treks a few weeks before our travel dates and definitely found the perfect company for us! We wanted to find a company that would meet all our needs and requirements and they were extremely helpful from the very first email we sent. Everything was included in the package, from our airport pickup to the moment we left Nepal. Our hotels, lodges and meals were all managed and booked for us so we were delighted not to have to worry about this once on our trip. Thakur helped to clarify anything we needed to know before leaving our home country and the programme and itinerary was arranged to suit our individual needs, something which is very important for different groups of different ages and abilities.

Our guide Hari, was the reason we had such a successful, enjoyable and memorable trip. He is not only an excellent guide, but a wonderful, helpful and caring person with a huge heart and a great sense of humour too! We warmed to him straight away, on our arrival into Kathmandu airport- where he greeted us with traditional flower necklaces. He was at our service for anything we needed or wanted to see/do and arranged everything for us without any problems.

On our trek, Hari was attentive to our every need. Safety is his number one priority and this had us at ease along the trek. He is very experienced in trekking and in the Khumbu region itself and it was comforting knowing we had someone so professional looking after us every step of the way. We trusted him entirely with all of his recommendations and any concerns we had. Each day he went above and beyond to ensure we had the best start possible and that our day ran smoothly. He knew when and where to be at the right time for the perfect views of the beautiful scenery and ensured we used every opportunity the weather offered to get out and take it all in. While trekking, we not only learned about the mountains and the routes, but the histories and the cultures of life in Nepal. We would not have had this experience had we gone alone and we have had experiences before where other guides have not been this well versed with the information that they provide. Hari answered each and all of the (many) questions we had and never got tired of answering sometimes the same questions on another day! We count ourselves very lucky to have been blessed with our amazing guide Hari and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a safe, enjoyable and fun trek in the beautiful Himalayas.
