My daughter and I completed the Everest Base Camp trek in November. The trek was very well organised and HSJ were easy to communicate with, and very efficient. Our guide Predip was amazing, knowledgeable, supportive and always available. His knowledge of the area and his quick insight into our needs made the trek so much easier. He knew where the best photograph spots were, advised us about food and hydration. He was integral to our sucess and monitored our health and well-being without being intrusive. His many helpful hints guaranteed our success. I highly recommend this trek for the adventurous and determined traveller, and commend Predip and HSJ.

ABSOLUTE EXCELLENCE....Their service and quality of care is paramount to none....You cannot go wrong with this experienced outfit.. The manager Mr Rameshwor Rijal is excellent at taking care of business and especially taking care of the customers needs....I always go to him for my travel needs, and bookings when I travel to Nepal. When I recently flew to Pokhara Mr Ramesh organized my flight tickets and if I needed any help while in Pokhara, they were there to offer advise, GREAT SERVICE .. I will miss them.

I had a trip with my 4 other friends to the Annapurna Base Camp. it was an ALL GIRLS trip. and we book this agency because of the more affordable price compared to other agency we surveyed. The trip was the best trip we ever had!! They are punctual, honest, loyal and transparent with their itinerary and price. I can guarantee you not to worry about scam or frauds. The journey was smooth, from pickup by airplane until return to airplane. The provide free Tshirt and some Nepali gifts for us too. Please ask for Guide named Bini, and Razan (one more porter I forgot his name, sorry!!!) since our guide, Bini lead the trail so well with the porters!! If I were to come again definitely will ask for them too. The boys are really reliable since they knew the mountain really really well, and they are very accomodating even to us who is not familiar with this hike. Very helpful with our bags, and keeping us safe along the journey. Fun to be with, you will not for a moment regret the decision to come here! They also made a effort for my birthday cake which I remembered until today. Needless I can say, a sincere team makes you feel like they are a long lost friend! Unfortunately, one of my girls was unable to proceed with the hike halfway and Bini and the boys really being so helpful and reliable. We're so worried how are we gonna continue this hike since we didn't reached the top yet aand I remember Bini and the boys CARRIED my friend until reaching the next camp before ordering a helicopter. Very joyous experience! Not to mention that the pre and post hiking trail was really comfortable with delicious foods! The long review I wrote just shows how I appreciate this agency and company from the porters and guide. Definitely recommend 5 stars!!

Probably the best travel agent on Nepal. Staff are very loyal and helpful. Highly recommended!

Dear all, I would like to write a huge thanks to the entire team of Himalayan Social Journey. I took 4 excursions : 7 UNESCO heritage, airplane flight with Everest view, Chandragiri hill and sunrise in Nagarkot. All my guides were very good and all the drivers were very polite and punctual. This is very important. The professionalism of the entire HSJ team made my trip a memorable and great experience. I am very grateful to the whole team of employees , thank you very much!!! Especially I would like to thank General Manager Aswin Sapkota. Even a few months before my trip Aswin answered all my questions and gave me full information on every possible tour option. I have to say that I am a specific customer and with my high level of responsibility I always ask a lot of questions and try to control everything. Aswin always provided me with quick feedback, weekends and holidays. Aswin organized all my excursions perfectly and provided me with all the detailed information and organizational details in advance. I was very satisfied. I would also like to say thank you to my guide Rajan Pudasainee. He is probably one of the kindest and most positive person. I really enjoyed my excursions with him, he told me in detail about the history of Nepal and all the sights. It was very interesting and informative. Also Rajan is very punctual and attentive and a very good photographer.Now I have a huge amount of cool pictures from this trip, it’s fantastic! Thank you very much again to all the team and I wish you success and good customers. With respect, Olga

My Wife and I are an Australian couple that traveled Nepal using HSJ's services. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Originally, we had only booked an Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek with a helicopter return; but due to an injury we had to delay the trek a week. In that time, Ram (the owner of HSJ) and his staff were incredibly helpful and flexible with times, helped us to re-book and even helped us book a Chitwan tour while we were recovering. The guides on our EBC were also incredible. Santosh and Denish guided us all the way to Base Camp, and supported us when we were not dealing well with some of the challenges we were presented with. Santosh also helped us with re-arranging the helicopter for an earlier flight as we were both suffering from mild AMS. As far as Nepalese-based tour companies are concerned, I feel as though HSJ did everything in their power to ensure my Wife and I were safe and happy with our experience of Nepal. Thanks guys.

I had great time ...janak Bhai and mingmar sherpa our guides..were really supportive and helpful.himalayan social journey is a good travel agency.

Unfortunately I booked with this office the scenic Everest plane tour for the last day of my trip. The driver did not show up at all and I did not get to do the tour … at the beginning I got an apology with the reason being the driver forgot you … then the apology listed that the driver was sick and did not pick up anybody on the day. Imagine I was in the hotel lobby by 5.10am as requested and they only finally after several calls ( which were never answered), I got those messages at 6:30am. Completely unreliable, definitely do not make an effort to book through this provider. Other than the full refund of the tour by GetYourGuide my experience with them was terrible.

We did our Everest Base Camp with Himalayan Social journey and am glad we took this decision. Right from the communication before the start of the trek to the end, every little detail was taken care of by them. Unfortunately 5 of 11 group members had to be evacuated and the process was made so smooth by them that we were left speechless. A special shout out to our guide Santosh and Arjun who were with us at each and every step. During the entire trek they made sure no one was left behind or facing any difficulties. Every minute things were handled so diligently that we couldn't ask for more. Their knowledge was also worth appreciating. Not to forget their owner Amit who was prompt in replying to all our questions and doubts before the trek. I'd definitely come back to them for my next trek.

Originally booked as a family trekking tour for 4 people. Unfortunately, due to illness our sister and her husband has to cancel with 3 days of flying out. Refund was done promptly within the term and conditions of this company. Our itinerary was delayed by one day due to Dashain festival, but was compensated with a Jeep ride to starting point rather than by bus as stated for the 3 of us as there is another trekker joining our tour in Kathmandu. Our tour guide Shankar is very experienced and has taken a great care of us as before. This is our third tour with Himalayan Social Journey (2019, 2022 & 2023) and our second tour with this team which includes Shankar as our guide, Prakash and Krishna as porters. We are very happy with this professional company, and was lucky enough to have booked with them previously. We hope to return to Nepal next October 2024 and continue to book with this company many more years to come. We highly recommended this professional Nepalese local trekking company.

I and my friends did the EBC trek with Himalayan Social Journey. We are very happy to have Santhosh and Ramsaran as our guides. They are very humble, knowledgeable and took proper care of every one in the group from the beginning to the end. EBC is not an easy trek and is especially challenging for beginners with no trekking experience. However, our guides Santhosh and Ramsaran helped everyone understand the challenges of high altitude trekking and guided us with everything including food, appropriate clothing on any given day/route, trekking pace to follow and how to take proper care of ourselves at high altitude. They also explained the local culture, history and about the high mountains through out our trek. Overall, I would say they are the best guides and you will be definitely making a good choice by choosing to go do the EBC trek with them. Thank you very much Santhosh and Ramsaran. You guys are awesome!

My friend and I booked the Everest 3 Passes Trek through Himalayan Social Journey and had an overwhelmingly positive experience from start to finish. Whilst arranging the trek they made everything so easy and were always happy and quick to answer our questions. Our local guide Dipak was fantastic, he is very knowledgeable, professional and always got us into amazing teahouses with the best food which is always good after a big day trekking! We also really liked that we could be flexible with the itinerary and Dipak made it easy for us to spend longer in some areas. Overall I am so glad we arranged our trip with HSJ and I wouldn't change a single thing about our time with them!

The EBC trek offers an unforgettable adventure with stunning scenery and a rich cultural experiences. It’s breathtaking views of the Himalayan peaks, including Mount Everest and Ama Dablam. The landscapes range from lush forests to rugged terrains, making it a photographer’s paradise ❤️. We’ve got well professional and chilled guides (Mingmar Sherpa and Dinesh) who helped and took care of everything in full trek and just thank you is small thing to them. Also ours is first group in September 4th it’s lucky to have like minded people all were so chilled and enjoyed the trek and successfully completed and enjoyed the whole experience. One life time experience in EBC.

I strongly recommend to go with himalayan social journey. Especially our guides minmar and dinesh took care of everyone, they are very kind and humble and everyone in the team made it to ebc only because of their support, they always keep the environment positive.

I had an amazing experience trekking the Everest base camp, it was my first solo trip and had the opportunity to meet amazing people through out the journey. Our trekking guide Mingmar and Dinesh were very supportive and has helped us to overcome all the hurdles and they were very cooperative during our trekking days.

Himalayan Social Journey's team of experienced guides and local experts ensures a seamless and enriching experience. Their dedication to responsible travel, personalized itineraries, and warm hospitality guarantees that every traveler departs with cherished memories and a profound connection to Nepal's vibrant soul.

Got a wonderful helicopter tour of Mt Everest and the surrounding mountains. Worth every penny.

We booked our Annapurna Base Camp tour with Himalaya Social Journey and were very satisfied! Our guide, Mr. Ram Saran, was the best guide! He was very friendly, always helped us, was competent, answered all our questions and fulfilled our wishes! We wish him only the best for his future and hope that everyone has such a good guide in Nepal like Mr. Ram Saran!

We had a wonderful experience driving with @Arjun dai. He went above and beyond to make sure we have best experience visiting Nepal. We feel like he is more like family rather than our driver. Thank you dai for making our trip memorable.

I went to Everest Base Camp with HSJ in April 2023 and I highly recommend this company! Our guides; Mingmar and Deepak were the absolute best. They were attentive to our needs and allowed plenty of flexibility in the trip (we all decided to be helicoptered back down from Periche to Lukla sometime in the middle of the trip and this was made possible).

nice tour packages with affordable price. friendly and well knowledgeable guide. highly recommended.

Booked with them 14 Days "luxury" Nepal Trip. Never trust this company! They will promisse you everything, but will never deliver. 1. If you look at their webpage, you will see "rafting" on day 2. Don't be surprised when in the evening, Ram will tell you that it will take you 7-8 hours to get to Pokhara and if you want to do rafting, you will arrive very late to your hotel and he doesn't recomend it. Do you think that you will get a refund or he will compensate you that rafting? Of course not. 2. Day 5 is very borring, nothing to do all day, you will stay most of the day in Sunny Guest House without internet. 3. Day 9 - Sightseeing in Pokhara. Don't expect to see much. They will take you to one sightseeing, that it takes around one hour and if you want to see other places, you have to pay the driver. That's exactly what we were told. If, IF you are thinking to book the 14 Days Luxury Trek, make them to refund the money for rafting in case that Ram doesn't recomend to do the rafting. But why book with this company? Go with a reputable company as Green Valley Nepal Treks, excellent company and they will take care of you 5x better then Himalayan Social Journey. My advise to everyone, just stay away from HSJ.

I don't have any words to express my extreme level of happiness for making my first ever outbound trip to Thailand amazingly memorable. I found hsj being super professional in multiple ways. Their entire management from initial day till the end was perfectly organized. All of the guides they provided to me were super friendly, informative and ready to help in each and every circumstances.similarly, transportation services was more than five star and the hotel in Bangok was far better than my expectation. Thank you very much for spending immense effort to make my trip absolutely incridible. Also looking forward to do next trip with Hsj.

It was our best decision to choose Himalayan Social Journey as a travel company. We cannot thank enough for making our holiday, unforgettable and giving the life-time experience. A special thanks to the tour company, guide, and the staffs for organizing the tour so smoothly. We highly recommend this company to anyone who is planning to travel Nepal.

Our excellent guide, Binod, met us at the airport. We were a day early and met up with the other two travellers ( making a party of four) on our Luxuary Escapes package. Great, just we four! As we were a day early, it was dictated that we were to take the city tour that day, instead of the end of the trip. A bit confused, off we went and had a good tour of some of the big name sights of KTM. I soon realised that the itinerary change was due to, two pax being on the standard package and two on the luxuay package. At the team meeting on the first night various options were offered ( due to the mix of packages we were on) and over the coming days, everyone worked out what suited them and everyone was happy. Off to the trek. A magic 6 days of mountains and rivers and steps and guest houses and rivers and all the things that Nepal is famous ( and infamous for) As I said Binod was our guide and we were assigned two porters, Goness and Rupness (apologies if I got the spelling wrong) all three you men were excellent in there humour, intelligence and their never ending care of we four. We shared lots of stories, apps, dancing (on one memorable night in a rather cold guest house) all of which went to make a great trek and later, our “wind down times” at Pohara and Chitwan. Now to the pluses and minuses of the experience. (Let me say at the outset - Having hiked and trekked 1000’s of kilometres around the world, staying in everything from a 6* lodge to sleeping under a tarp, nothing phases me.) -This trek Is not a grade two walk, on days, there are four to five hours walking up and down many steep and uneven stone steps - guesthouse accomodation in the off season ( when numbers are low) is more likely to turn the heating on till later in the night and may not have hot water in (some rooms) - from what I can see on TA, the packages will run even if there is only one paying guest, so you need to expect that there will be things that will change to make the trek financially viable Summary- I dragged my long suffering wife along on the journey (she had never been to Nepal) and we teamed up with two fit and vibrant ladies, an excellent guide and two strong, intelligent porters. We had a fabulous time!

My brother and I just completed the Everest Base Camp trek with helicopter ride back to Lukla. Himalaya Social Journey is an absolute amazing company to work with. Promptly answered all questions and concerns we had going in. Our guide for the trek, Mingmar Sherpa (yes, a real Sherpa) was not just our guide but acted as a historian, nutritionist, and translator for our journey. He kept us from getting sick and we experienced no altitude sickness even after cracking 18,000ft. Undoubtedly, Mingmar Sherpa’s complete expertise made this experience completely unforgettable. I highly recommend Himalaya Social Journey and Mingmar Sherpa for any of your Himalaya adventures.

This is the second trip myself and my husband have booked with HSJ and I would definitely book with them again. Both trips were professionally run with excellent guides.
