personal, safety always a priority, knowledgable, experienced. recommended for local touring and trekking if you want private guides and porters

We did the Everest Base Camp Trek in January through Himalayan Scenery Treks. If I could give more than 5 stars I would, Ramkrishna and his team were so friendly and helpful! From the minute we arrived in Nepal, everything was organised for us, we were picked up from the airport and helped to our hotel. Whenever we went to Ramkrishna's office he served us tea and made us feel very welcomed. The trek was absolutely amazing, and Narayan our guide and our porters were so great and friendly! Narayan was very knowledgeable, he could answer any question we threw at him. He got us all to Base Camp and back safely and was very accommodating for the varying capabilities of the group.

We also did a Chitwan National Park tour through HST, the night before our bus we became sick and had to postpone our trip 2 hours before the bus departed. HST were very understanding and empathetic, they insisted on paying the fee to change the bus for us. We ended up going a few days later, and they even sent someone to help us carry our bags to the bus stop.

Himalayan Scenery Treks gave us an unforgettable and enjoyable experience in Nepal, for a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Nepal.

Great trip for 9 of us who went to EBC, we all made it with help of our knowledgeable guide and amazing porters. All prearranged which made it very easy. Great company, very friendly. Would recommend for future tours.

We were scheduled to go to Everest Base camp in Feb 2015 and organised it via this trekking company. Right from the warm welcome at the airport, we felt very well looked after and all aspects were thought of prior to leaving, 

We were taken from Lukla by our very enthusiastic guide, Shiva, who made sure we were okay throughout the trek and was very friendly. We weren't able to get to Base camp because of a snowstorm, but the guide was very careful in ensuring our safe return down through the snow. Unfortunately I suffered from altitude sickness so wasn't able to continue the trek - but the tour company ensured my safe return to Kathmandu, which was greatly appreciated.

Highly recommend this tour comapny!

Had an incredible time with Himalayan Scenery Treks to Everest Base Camp in December 2014. Ramkrishna was very helpful and quick to respond to queries and emails, and very accommodating for us when we arrived. Had a very safe and drama-less trek thanks to our wonderful guide Narayan who was very responsible and has had over a decade of guiding experience.

Would definitely recommend this trek as something to add to your bucket list, and had a great experience in Nepal with Himalayan Scenery Treks! Thanks again, and can't wait see you again on the Annapurna circuit!

Chose to go to Everest Basecamp with Himalayan Scenery Treks when back home in New Zealand. They were amazing at answering questions on email quickly and were very helpful running up to the trip. They very kindly organised us cold weather gear to take with us on the trek. Basu our guide was smiley, professional, always helpful and just generally brilliant. There are a million companies to chose from in Kathmandu so if you are wavering chose this one. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. End to end brilliant experience and at a good price too. Thanks for everything!

Now is the time to reach Nepal helping people... to give a contribution to recreate Nepal and feel close to this wanderful people! Staying in Kathmandu or trekking in the valleys or living in the villages with locals helping also with some money to rebuilt houses or helping child...oh! many manners you can find if you have a PURE HEART!

Having booked this trek through a budget, daily deal website – my traveling companion and I were expecting budget treatment with no-frills traveling. We couldn’t have been more wrong. From the day we landed in Kathmandu airport, Himalayan Scenery Treks and Expedition looked after us like family. Everything was organised for us ahead of time which lead to a very efficient and seamless experience, from being picked up at the airport and checked into our hotel, to being introduced to our guide and driven back to the airport for our flight to Lukla. Shiva and his team provided a professional, warm and friendly environment which eliminated the stress which usually accompanies such travel.
In terms of the trek itself, I cannot speak more highly of the professionalism and overall skill of our guide Shiva – extremely knowledgeable on an almost obscene number of topics, we were kept informed with details of the local dialect to the history, geology and ecology of the region.

One of the biggest fears I faced beforehand was that I would not be fit enough to handle the long days of hiking. Thanks to our guide, my fears were put to rest almost immediately – with both a moderate pace and perfectly paced rest breaks, it clearly showed that Shiva new his craft.

Unfortunately for our group – we did not make it to EBC owing to a snow storm which swooped in and blocked the path ahead. 
Whilst we were understandably upset at the turn of events, Shiva was both understanding and attentive to this and took it upon himself to make the trek back down the valley as fun and interesting (and safe!) as possible. By the end of our trip and the last night with Himalayan Trekking Company, we truly felt like family – despite not making it to EBC, Shiva and the team had given us the trip of a lifetime and not one that we would ever forget. I will be going back to conquer the Trek and since I want the best, I know for sure that the Himalayan Scenery Treks and Expedition team are the people I shall be calling on.
