Our communication with Rana at Adventure Himalayan Travels & treks was good, the reply was always quick and he replied to all our questions and inquiries. We also met shortly our first night in Kathmandu for greetings and introduction to our guide Harka. Harka is a great guy with lots of humour and an excellent guide. He made sure that we had everything we needed on the trek at all times. Whether it was keeping track on bookings, go in advance to order lunch or helping out with the bikes so they always was in good condition. You name it and Harka fix. We felt real lucky with such an experienced and pro guide. Absolutely worth a little xtra pay. The route and scenery was awesome both up and down, and on the way down from Thurong pass towards Pokhara we went trough some awesome downhill and real fun singel trails. The ride in general was at times quite hard and bumpy and also quite technical, so a little experience in advance is nice, but not a necessity you just need to go real slow at times. All in all great experience, totally recommend and much more fun to bike than hike.

I arrived in Kathmandu and had been on a previous tour, the Himilayan Adventure team head by Rana therefore picked me up from my previous hotel and took me to my new residence for the evening; here I met my guide and was given the detailed info regarding the holiday. Rana was very approachable and a great front man for the company. I started off on my trek the next day with Durga, my guide for the trek. I can honestly say that the experience was everything a trek should be, it was challenging, I explored local life, I made friends and I was 150% looked after. The guidance given by Durga was excellent; he pointed out fauna , flora and the Nepalese animals, he told me about the history related to the trek and most importantly spoke about how to best manage the trek, walking and breathing. Overall I had a magnificent time, no stone was left unturned. Thankyou Aditya for your utmost attention and to Rana for running such a great tour.

Dear Rana, With “Adventure Himalayan Travels & Treks” I have had one of my most beautiful travel experiences ever. Organization in your hands was completely finished. I had a top quality Mountain bike available. It was a wonderful track, the weather conditions may not have been optimal – lots of snow – but the satisfaction afterwards was great. Also a big thanks to Purna, my guide, who was always by my side, and contributed to the success of my crossing of the Thorang La Pass (5416 m high) I can only recommend this trip with “Adventure Himalayan Travels & Treks » with great enthusiasm to every Mountain bike-enthusiast.

Rana was very welcoming and hospitable. Flying from the UK as a solo female traveller , I was a little nervous, however Rana made me feel at ease and my driver and tour guides throughout the tour were friendly and accommodating and trustworthy, I felt safe and in good hands. I would highly recommend Rana’s tour company to everyone

The trip was extremely well planned . I got to see and do all the sites as described in the tour package. I had a personal driver who was incredible. If I wanted to divert from the tour and include other activities this was so easily accommodated at little if any expense The booking procedure was easy and all questions and queries was answered incredible promptly the tour manager Rana Bahadur Khadka was extremely hospitable and accommodating. The highlight was the safari where I got to see a rhino up close in the forest. This was due to the amazing knowledgeable guide Santa ku mar tamang

Mr. Rana picked me up from the airport in Kathmandu and took me to the Hotel Kailash Kutee in Thamel. The room at the hotel was very nice, breakfast on the 7th floor on the terrace and Thamel with all facilities right outside the door. Perfect base camp in Kathmandu!
The first day was spent recovering from jet lag and sightseeing. I could use Rana's car for this, his driver took me from the hotel to Boudhanath stupa and Swayambhunath temple and waited for me there respectively. This was of course much more pleasant than looking for cabs myself and negotiating the price with the drivers.
There were no other participants for the trek to Kanchenjunga in the mid of November, so I got a private tour there, which was overall very well organized. Round trip flight to Badhrapur, jeep rides and accommodation was planned and booked by Adventure Himalayan Travels & Treks or my porter guide, it all went smoothly. The Kanchenjunga tour is not yet as touristy as Everest or Annapurna, but one experience the original Nepal. The trekking was super nice (also exhausting) and I will always keep it in best memory.
After returning from trekking, I had booked 2 additional days at the hotel. Again, I could use Rana's car including driver, who drove me 40 km southeast to the Namo Buddha monastery (one of the absolute highlights in the Kathmandu Valley) and to Bhaktapur to visit the city center.
Conclusion: I needed time flexibility for my trekking, had special wishes regarding sightseeing and duration of my vacation. Adventure Himalayan Travels & Treks organized all this very well, I can absolutely recommend this agency.
The trekking to Kanchenjunga was my third tour in Nepal (after Everest and Annapurna) and I will definitely come back, there are many other beautiful paths to hike (Manaslu, Dhaulagiri, Makalu, Langtang, Mustang, …).

Rana was wonderful to work with on my diverse Nepali program. I started with a few out of the ordinary places in Kathmandu Valley and had a wonderfully knowledgeable guide throughout. I then went on a trek to Tengboche coupled with an absolutely fabulous (Do it!!!) helicopter trip to Kala Pathar. Then went to Lumbini, with a different but equally qualified guide. As time was tight, Rana was able to make it possible that I could fit all that I wanted to do into just a few weeks. This was my fifth time in Nepal and it was as fascinating as the first time. I hope I'll be back!
