Nepal Trekking Routes

Reviews

I did my Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek with Himalayan Masters this October. Everything about the trek and their team was perfect. I wanted to do the Everest Base Camp Trek, but Sandip suggested I do the Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek as I changed my mind about the peaceful trek.

Our guide, Kanchan, did a great job during the 20 days of the Kanchenjunga Trek. There was never a single day where I felt bored. The local people of the area were very friendly and respectful. I must recommend the Kanchenjunga Trek to you.

The best off-beaten trek of Nepal!England

This trek was an incredible journey from start to finish! Starting in Jiri offered a unique and less crowded experience with stunning landscapes and cultural immersion. Raj was an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, supportive, and always ensuring safety and comfort. His understanding of the local culture made the trek even more enriching.

The trek was physically challenging, especially with the altitude, but Raj’s pacing and encouragement made it manageable. The tea houses were basic but cozy, and the food was simple yet hearty. October’s clear skies provided breathtaking views of Everest and the surrounding peaks.

Highly recommend both this route and Raj as a guide. A truly unforgettable adventure!

I did my Makalu Base Camp Trek with Himalayan Masters on October. From the logistics to the planned itinerary everything was very well planned. Sandip did a great job throughout the trek. The trip will remain forever in my memories. Thank you Himalayan Masters for such an amazing experience.

I loved my All Nepal Tour with Himalayan Masters! The trip was perfectly organized, and the guides were fantastic. You will get a view of the sunrise and Chitwan safari, and you will explore Kathmandu’s heritage sites.

Everything ran smoothly, and the team was super friendly. A must-try for anyone visiting Nepal.

 

I loved my All Nepal Tour!!!!Australia

The All Nepal Tour with Himalayan Masters was amazing! The itinerary covered everything – culture, nature, and adventure. From Pokhara’s lakes to Chitwan’s wildlife and Lumbini’s spiritual vibe, every part was unforgettable.

The guides were knowledgeable, and the team ensured a hassle-free experience. Highly recommended for an authentic Nepal adventure!

Highly recommend this company to travel with, well organised and great service. Our guide, Himeshwor, and two porters, Ram and Harry, were an excellent team and made the entire experience worth it. Himeshwor and his quick thinking saved us multiple times and helped massively. Ram and Harry were a huge help and kept going above and beyond for our needs.

With a heart full of gratitude, I want to express my appreciation for Himalayan Masters Adventure’s recent retreat to Poon Hill. As a first-time visitor exploring Nepal, Sandip and his team truly brought my trekking dreams to life.

From our very first interaction, Sandip demonstrated exceptional care, patience, and deep local knowledge, setting the most positive tone for the journey. His seamless logistical coordination ensured that every detail was handled effortlessly, always accompanied by warm smiles.

The villagers welcomed us with open arms and hearts, sharing delicious curries, captivating stories, and songs beneath a glittering sky. Their generous spirit is a testament to the enduring beauty of Himalayan traditions. Thanks to these kind souls, Nepal will forever remain a part of me, both in my breath and in my heart.

This experience has left me profoundly transformed and deeply thankful to Sandip and the entire Himalayan Masters team. Your thoughtful approach to travel has touched my soul and will continue to nourish my wellness journey. Until we meet again in the serene embrace of the Annapurnas!

Incredible Trekking Retreat to Ghorepani Poon HillAustralia

It was an excellent trekking experience to the Kapuche Glacier Lake. I went on a trek with my friends in January 2022. Thanks to all the instructions and help from Himalayan Masters, the journey went smoothly. They instructed me everything about food, weather, accommodation, etc. They were happy enough to provide all the assistance in arranging the vehicle, accommodation, trek route, and a few trekking gear.

One of the most exciting parts of this journey was the evening campfire at the Sikles homestay. We sang, danced, ate, and enjoyed until we went to bed. The owner of the homestay was so friendly that he also danced with us.

Once again, thanks to Himalayan Masters for everything. They are the most professional and friendly travel agency that I know. Do give a try to the Sikles Kapuche Trek. For a safe, comfortable, and memorable trekking experience, I highly recommend that you trek with the Himalayan Masters.

I did my Dhorpatan Trek with Himalayan Masters, and I have to say that it was the most amazing trek of my life. The landscapes, the view, the mountains, and everything else were amazing.

Awesome Hunting Tour at Dhorpatan TrekAustralia

We had a great time together on the Mera Peak trek. Sandip, the organiser, did a perfect job of giving us the best service, and even when my luggage didn’t arrive in Lukla, he was a helping hand I could count on!
Gobinda, our Guide, and Birendra, our Porter, were fantastic. Always thoughtful, strong and never pushing or stressed. They gave us all the time we needed and helped in every scenario. We became good friends, and I hope to see them again soon.
I really recommend Himalayan Masters and all the ones involved. They are great in what they do!

Awesome experience at Mera PeakAustralia

Himalayan Masters have been fantastic! I travelled solo to Nepal to summit Mera Peak in April 2024 and could not have had a better experience. Sandip is amazing and was so helpful in organising every aspect of our trip. Our guide, Gobinda, was very knowledgeable about the region and took great care of a team member who suffered from altitude sickness.

I felt completely safe throughout the trip, and Gobinda made it so much fun, even when times were tough! Our porter, Brindra, was also incredible and helped us carry our bags to High Camp; we could not have done it without him. I highly recommend trekking and climbing with Himalayan Masters, the best company in Nepal!

Mera Peak Summit 2024USA

From my first interaction with Sandip, I’ve felt that Himalayan Masters acts with integrity, offers competitive prices, and genuinely desires to give customers the best experiences in Nepal. I compared the prices, itineraries and reviews of ~10 travel agencies for multiple trips, and Himalayan Masters almost always came out on top in terms of bang for the buck.

Where other companies seemed to cut corners on their proposed itineraries (e.g. trekking in places where you’d spend a lot of time on the road), Sandip went above and beyond to ensure that the trip exceeded expectations. For example, he got me onto a helicopter from KTM to Lukla instead of the plane at no extra cost. He also arranged a circuit trek to visit Gokyo Lakes (going up via Dole, then down via the Renjo La Pass and Thame) to minimise going out and back along the same route.

Govinda, the guide, was friendly and experienced and went at whatever trekking pace I was comfortable with. He was the ideal guide and was flexible with plans to maximise time in my preferred locations. As my trip ended up being one day shorter than envisaged because of the weather, Sandip, please let me use the unused costs for a second trip I have booked with Himalayan Masters. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Himalayan Masters to anyone looking to trek in Nepal.

Renjo La Pass reviewPakistan

We had a fantastic trek to Gokyo Lakes with Bibek as our guide. A special thank you to Bibek, who was amazing and took great care of us, always attentive to our needs, informative and supportive.
Communication with Sandip was excellent; he was always quick to respond to my emails. He always got us the best tea houses to stay in and organized a helicopter for us when our flight was cancelled due to bad Weather.
Overall, it was a great experience, and I would highly recommend Himalayan Masters to anyone looking to trek in the Himalayas.

Amazing JourneyIndonesia

My mates and I went to the Chitwan National Park Tour with the Himalayan Masters. It was an excellent journey….we did jeep safari. We were lucky to see a one-horned rhino and Asiatic elephant. But we only could see Bengal tiger from a far, but yes we did see it. We might be visiting soon to see other places too.

My friend and I have just completed an 8 day Khopra Danda trek with the absolute man – Ram. My friend did most of the liaison with Sandip but my short interaction with him at the office was unreal. So friendly and accomodating – the sleeping bag and down jacket for the trip was also so appreciated! The trek itself was absolutely gorgeous. We struck luck with the weather and the views are breathtaking. Our trip wouldn’t have been so memorable without our phenomenal guide, Ram. Ram is the most warm, knowledgeable, patient and attentive guide!! He was more than willing to offer advice regarding certain elements of our trip, match pace during the trickier inclines, check in regularly or answer questions he’d probably answered a millions times before. He’d be so fast with our meals at the tea houses making sure our hands were always warm with a cup of tea or some freshly chopped fruit. A genuine heart-felt thanks to Ram and the HM team for making this such a wonderful experience 🙂

My friends and I just finished the 13-day trek around Manaslu with guide Rishi – an unforgettable experience. From landing in Kathmandu and getting a ride from Sandip to our hotel, to the final send-off from Rishi, Himalayan Masters did not disappoint.

Our experience with Rishi made for a great trip. His local knowledge made us feel like we were getting an insider’s experience, especially as he knew and was friendly with most families who owned the teahouses where we stayed.

Highlights of the trip were basecamp day and watching the mountain sunrise as we approached Larke pass. The drives to and from the trek were a bit nerve-racking, so would suggest staying clear of monsoon season.

If you’re looking for an immersive adventure in the mountains, I’d highly rate Himalayan Masters, and if possible have Rishi guide you!

Manaslu circuit with Rishi – September 2024UK

I recently completed a 13-day Manaslu trek with Himalayan Masters and had an amazing experience. Sandip and the team were always communicative and available to answer any questions. Our guide, Rishi, was exceptional. It’s also worth noting that Himalayan Masters is 100% Nepali-owned, which makes it even better to support. If you’re looking into guide services, I highly recommend booking with Himalayan Masters and requesting Rishi—he’s the best!

Pending the timing of your trip, it’s worth noting that there are a lot of major landslides during monsoon season.

13 day Manaslu TrekSan Francisco, CA

The Himalayan Masters organized our trip to the Yala Peak perfectly. From picking us up at the airport, all through our trip to Kathmandu and the Himalayan mountains. Our guide Dipak provided us with everything we need in terms of food, drinks and a ton of very interesting knowledge about the nepalese culture and the Himalayas.
Even with some struggles we had climbing the peak, he was very helpful and adjusted quickly to the situation. Back in Kathmandu, the team continued helping us getting a hotel and providing us with very useful insider information about local foods and interesting hotspots. They connected us with some very safe, qualified drivers and a local guide, who showed us the most beautiful sides of Kathmandu. Our contact person Sandip was always quick to respond to every question we had, and helped us enjoy the trip without having to deal with bigger organization problems. They also paired us with two amazing porters, who not only carried our stuff but also entertained and informed us perfectly on our way up the mountain.
In summary, it was a great experience with the Himalayan Masters and our nice guide Dipak. If I were to book another trip to the Himalayas, it surely will be planned by this Company.
