    Two thumbs up to the Above The Himalayas team!!! Mr Puru visited us personally when we arrived at the hotel in Kathmandu. On the track our guide Sitaram was exceptional, he took care of everything and treated us with an exceptional level of attention. Of course, when you go on a 10+ days trip some things are not exactly as expected but the team was quick to act and resolve every minor issue. A special note to our porter, Mr Buddha, who we could have not made without. Great team, great service, awesome memories. Thank you guys!!!

    We had successful trekked to EBC on 22/10/22, made possible by the immaculate arrangements by Puru/MD of Above the Himalayan. My husband n me had managed to complete another item on our bucket lists. Being retirees, Puru ensured that our private tour is managed to suit us. It is also prerogative that Puru is well connected in the Nepal industry, to be able to efficiently manage timely flight alternatives, given the unpredictable weather elements. This ensured that our trek is on schedule and undisrupted. He also showed his kind concern by checking on our well being throughout our trek, also through our guide Sitaran, when we do not have wifi connection. This extended to throughout our post trek stay in Kathmandu n Pokhara. Recommending and helping with lodging arrangements n flights, at good prices. We could not recommend enough of Above the Himalayan. It is definitely a 5 star ⭐️ company with excellent service, and a kind heart. I am recommending to my friends n relatives in Singapore. It was a fulfilling trip for us and will look up Puru when we travel to Kathmandu again.

    My wife and I just returned from a wonderful and excellent eleven day visit to Kathmandu and Pokhara, in large part thanks to Puru and his team. Nepalese people are admirably friendly, kind and helpful, and Puru is even more friendly, kind and helpful! He took excellent care of us from the moment we landed in Kathmandu until the moment we left. He is supremely knowledgeable, professional and accommodating. He put us up in excellent hotels, checked on us every day, assigned Ashuk as our driver and Ezzi as our tour guide in Kathmandu. Both Ashuk and Ezzi were fantastic in every way. Puru actually came with us as our tour guide to Pokhara with Ashuk. All in all, we could not have asked or hoped for anything better. Hopefully next year we will go back, this time for the mountains, of course with Puru again. Puru is now one of our dear and special friends. Thank you Puru! Thank you Ashuk and Ezzi! You made our trip memorable, enjoyable, educational and overall wonderful. We look forward to seeing you again.

    I stronly recommend this tour operator. I've been in touch with Puru Timalsema, the manager, since he organized my first tour to Nepal several years ago. In the following years he organized trekking for some friends and everyone was very satisfied. More recently my dougther stayed in the Jampa hotel and it is remarkable the facilities and the professional care .

    Wonderful travel to EBC with Above the Himalayas and the team: Puru, Sitaram (guide) and Deb (Porter). As I read in another review, when you go on a 10+ days trip some things are not exactly as expected but the team was quick to act and resolve every minor issue. As Lukla airport was closed for more than 7 days, Puru manage to book a jeep to reach Bupsa and start the trek on time. Additionally, he booked another hotel for us in Kathmandu. All our needs and requests were promptly met! You can trust this agency to organize your travel. Puru will do his best to make everything possible.

    Puru and his team were extremely professional and accommodating. We were supposed to fly to Lukla but due to bad weather there were no flights . Puru organised an alternative trip to Annapurna so we wouldn’t lose and days . Altogether a great experience.

    This company is BEYOND amazing. As a solo trekker to base camp, I was concerned about booking the right company. I searched for weeks and compared prices, and for the high quality of service you get, Puru and his company are the best. He handled everything for me from start to finish, and even stepped in and secured a helicopter for me when flights into Lukla were cancelled due to weather. He saved my Trek! My guide Shiva was incredible. He was very knowledgeable and very caring, and I am proud to say that we became friends over our journey to base camp. I can’t say enough positive things about this company… don’t waste time looking elsewhere, they are the BEST!!!

    Mr. Puru, the owner organized a tailormade itinerary for us based on our stay length and preferred activities, he was very knowledgeable, professional and very fast in delivering the program, we also had a zoom call to discuss the final details. He was always available including for last minute changes and very flexible with our sometimes difficult requirements. All the guides that he provided were also very professional. I highly recommend Above the Himalayas Trekking company to organize your stay in Nepal.

    We have recently completed our trek to Everest Base Camp in November 2022. The trip was an unforgettable experience, which was largely all thanks to Puru, Basu (our guide) and Mitra (our porter). We initially booked the trip pre-covid but unfortunately had to re-arrange it multiple times. Puru made this process stress-free and over the years of planning was always at the end of an email to answer our queries (however small they were). The trek itself was amazing. Basu and Mitra made the experience the best it could be - they went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, happy and had the best experience of the Himalayas. Basu was incredibly knowledgeable – he shared this with us throughout the trip. With the two of us being at slightly different experience levels / walking paces Basu and Mitra worked together to ensure that neither of us weren’t alone - Mitra even came to Base Camp with us in case one of us needed to return earlier (which was not part of the original plan). We all made it, which was largely due to Basu and Mitra’s encouragement. Thank you Puru, Basu and Mitra for making our time in Nepal such a smooth and great experience. We would 100% recommend Above the Himalaya.

    Just recently completed a 6 Day Annapurna trek with "Above the Himalaya Trekking" From the start Puru's responses to email were extremely quick and very throrough, he answered all questions very clearly. When we arrived in Kathmandu we were met at the airport as arranged and transferred to the hotel. Trekking permits were arranged the following day and we were given the e-tickets/hotel voucher for our overnight stay in Pokhara before we started our trek. Our guide Phurba and Porter were amazing, incredibly patient and nothing was too much trouble. Despite having bad weather at the start of our trek, it was one of the most amazing experiences and something we will never forget. Nepal is a stunningly beautiful country, if you are planning a trip it's definitely worth contacting Puru at Above the Himalaya Trekking to make the arrangements for you. Our return to Kathmandu was just as painless as the outward trip, everything very well organised and exactly as planned. Ian Ashton.

    After Covid delayed our planned trek to EBC, we finally got the opportunity to travel to Nepal in February 2022 with Above the Himalaya Trekking. The trek itself was amazing, a stunning part of the world with jaw-dropping views and that "big mountain" feel throughout. And the Nepali people were incredibly warm and welcoming. Above the Himalaya Trekking's organisation of the trek was exemplary, everything was exactly as promised and the whole thing worked out incredibly smoothly, leaving us to focus on making the most of our time in the Himalaya. Puru, the owner of the company, was very helpful and responsive, both before we arrived in Nepal and while we were there. Highly recommended. Sean & Ana

    Best experience - very well professionally managed our EBC trek - I m very much thankful to Mr Puru for having us a life time experience

    We are acquainted with Mr. Puru since 2008. We were very pleased with excellent services we have received from him and his company during our several visits to Nepal, including accommodation, transportation, guides and porters in the treks, city and site visits. Puru took care of all our needs, from the moment we stepped down from the flight until we left Nepal. He is responsible, reliable and resourceful. It was nice to work with him. We always knew we could count on Puru to find a solution to every question/problem. We highly recommend his services.

    Himalaya Trekking took care of every detail. The arrangements were easy to set up from home in the USA. I really appreciated that when errors made, it was readily acknowledged and remedied. Very professional and communicative. And, of course, Nepal is beautiful.

    My experience with Above the Himalaya Trekking was A#1! The oversight and management of our time in Nepal was outstanding. And, we made lifelong friends. How good is that? Wonderful.

  • 5/5 Aastha T. 3 years ago on Google
    I feel grateful to the Above the Himalaya Team, for organizing me such an amazing Everest view trip. I must say, the trip along with all the activities are so well organized and flawlessly planned. The impression with the services, advice, communication, greeting above the Himalaya team has imparted is praiseworthy.
