Trekking in Nepal Himalayas

Jiri Everest Base Camp Trekking

I have no hesitation recommending this company to all of my friends. Mr Puru Timalsena was excellent from the very beginning, replying to me emails courteously and VERY quickly. He was able to organise the exact trek we wanted, when we wanted, and was very happy to work around my travel times and flight changes etc. We were absolutely at ease when being transferred to and from the bustling airport - our pickup simply waited for hours until our flight, which was late, arrived. It's comforting to know that they will simply wait for you, and not leave if your flight is late!

While on the trek, one of our group experienced acute mountain sickness, and required a helicopter evacuation down to Kathmandu. A scary experience! We had the travel insurance to cover such an event, and both Puru and our Guide (who knew exactly what to do), organised everything so smoothly. The helicopter was called, the doctor was visited, and Puru dealt directly with our insurance company (he has experience in this department) and took care of EVERYTHING. It was completely 100% stress free, in a worst case scenario. On top of this, the trek itself was highly enjoyable, thanks to a great team of porters and our guide, who took excellent care of us and made sure we had a great time! (Oh, and Puru really gives you the best price around, which includes tours of Kathmandu and a traditional Nepalese dinner and entertainment at the end of the trek! Great value for money!).

If you want peace of mind that you are getting an honest and reliable company when booking your next adventure in Nepal, choose Above the Himalaya. They really go above and beyond your usual trekking deal. If I ever go back, or visit the neighbouring Bhutan, there is no doubt I will be giving Puru a call to organise it!

Annapurna Circuit Trekking

I can highly recommend the Above Himalaya trekking for taking care of everything quickly and promptly.

Mr. Puru Timalsena is the man who to trust. I twisted and broke my ankle during my trekking, and Mr. Timalsena and his staff took care of everything: arranging things with my insurance company, arranging emergency rescue from the mountains, ambulance waiting for me at the Kathmandu's airport, hospital, and hotels and transportation after the hospital stay. They even visited me every day while I was staying at the hospital. You can really trust Mr. Timalsena also at the situations, when things are not going like expected.

About the trekking part, would like to hear more about the culture, nature and other things from the guide while trekking.

When my leg is good again and have enough money to go back, I will definitely choose Above Himalaya trekking agency again!

Annapurna Poonhill Trekking

Nepal is a special place and I knew going in that I was looking for an authentic experience with a trustworthy company. As a busy professional, my time was limited to 8 days in Nepal. Puru worked with me to ensure the best possible experience for an Everest sightseeing trek in that timeframe. At the last minute, when weather looked poor in that region, he was able to nimbly and quickly shift the trip to Annapurna. I felt his pricing was competitive - but even more so, I was impressed by his honesty, and the quality of his staff. Those little details like airport transfers, quality mid-range hotels, and the quest for knowledgable guides is already taken care of. I highly recommend Above the Himalayas - book with them and all you'll need to do is train for your trek and get the right gear.
