Mera peak from Khare to summit with climbing guide Asman Tamang 2016 with Nepal wilderness Trekking agency, it was great timing our group fist on the top in mass climbers, we really appreciated with Mr Himal Ghale and NWT Team, thank you again and see you next time in Nepal another peak climbing.
Wonderful experience with my guide Dhyan Bahadur exploring the high elevation permanent Sherpa communities on the Dudh Khosi and Bhote Khosi valleys. Highly recommend visiting some of the ornate monasteries for beautiful statues of Chenrezig, Guru Rinpoche and Tara. Prior to the trip, may want to meet with a Tibetan medical practitioner for medicine for high altitude acclimatization May be a better choice than Diamox and can avoid the “Khumbu” a cough. Highly recommend catching the alpenglow from Everest View Hotel.
I’m KJ from Malaysia who had recently (Oct 2012) completed a wonderful 10-day trek to Langtang Trek with Lal Gurung from nepalindependentguide.com (Nepal Wilderness Trek agency). Among few of my previous treks that range from Everest-Gokyo via Chola Pass, Ladakh, Source of Ganges to the easy Singalila Trek in India, the recent Langtang trek absolutely stands out in my memory, not only because of the beautiful mountain view of Lantang along with its rich fauna & Tamang culture, but most importantly it was the great hospitality and companionship extended by Lal Gurung that made the trek fabulous and memorable. Lal Gurung knows the area and culture well and would not hesitate to accommodate any reasonable request shall I wish to understand more about the local culture or make changes in my itineraries/activities.
He has been simply one of the best guides I’ve ever trekked with. THANK YOU, Lal Gurung!
There are things you play with in your mind for a long time before you can actually step into. I was dreaming of Manaslu trek for many years and when finally the opportunity came I was both excited and stressed. The stress was the result of the high expectations.
I’m one of those guys that organize independently his trips. The reason is quite simple, especially in the mountains I prefer not to be bothered by the problems and constraints that can arise when relying on guides or agencies. But this time I had no choice, the guide was mandatory. Luckily I found Himal (one of the more reliable and honest agencies in Kathmandu in my experience) who took care of the bureaucratic side.
When I was introduced to Bir that was going to be our guide, the actual person that could have turned our coming days for the good (on a trek you spend a lot of time with your team mates!). And actually, he was central to our experience. He was always careful about our needs (helping even beyond his duties)and truly open to our ideas and request (never pushed us faster or slower than what we intended to do).
One of the sweetest person I ever had the opportunity to share a trek with. I would definitely recommend both Himal and Bir. Excellent each in their work. I’m sure the same trip would not have been as pleasant without their support and guidance.
My name is John Cayless, owner operator of a travel business called Asian Experience. I have had the very great pleasure of knowing and working with Himal for the last 16 years and during that time Himal has travelled with our groups on numerous treks. Himal is an experienced guide with a broad wealth of knowledge on not only trekking and all that entails, but also the people, culture and traditions of Nepal. He’s professional, reliable, honest, thoughtful, and friendly, has a great sense of humour, is a good communicator and will do his utmost to ensure that all those that travel with our groups have a memorable experience. We cannot speak more highly of Himal…..he’s a wonderful person, an exceptional guide and is a huge asset to us. We would be delighted to discuss further and can be contacted as follows:

Langtang trek, I had a wonderful experience trekking with Himal Ghale in the Langtang region on Sept. 2007. Himal was very professional and was familiar with the trails, geography, and cultural traditions of the people and regions we visited. His friendly personality and positive outlook made the trek very enjoyable. He had a good rapport with the tea-house owners, which allows us to spend more time talking with these families, and made my experience very culturally interesting. Himal spoke great English and could translate easily, on our last day in the Langtang Valley Trek, Himal woke me up at dawn to go hiking under crystal clear skies- As this was a monsoon Hike, This clear morning was very special. I felt that Himal always went the extra mile – I was able to see the sun coming up over the Himalayan peaks ringing the Langtang Valley – A spectacular view and wonderful experience trekking in Nepal with Himal!
Everest Base Camp Trek with kids, Please let me thank you for the recent and incredible trekking experience we had in Nepal. For my sons and I, it was the trip of a lifetime, and I can say that a large part of the success and excitement of the visit to Everest Base Camp Trek with kids was they way you guided the trek.
You should be commended for the way in which you took care of all our needs and concerns, the way you helped us achieve all the things we wanted to do, and of course, the knowledge, skill and enthusiasm displayed throughout the adventure.
We had some very tough days and I realize that without the positive approach and encouragement, we might not have made it to all the places we did – so thank you.
I can honestly say that as a guide you exceeded all our expectations for care and responsibility and this is a great credit to you.
I wish you all the best of luck for the future.
Nepal Wilderness Trekking taking care of our trekking to Gokyo Ri trek, I had a lovely time experiencing the cool air, beautiful weather and good Nepali food. Friendly guide Lal Gurung and porters Ramesh, I also had a spectacular experience to see an amazing sunrise over the Everest Top and Makalu from Gokyo Ri, A good place for photographers to shoot. It was quite inspiring as we could see the entire Gokyo valley and was also a cool day – really nice to walk in the shade and breathe in the clean mountain fresh air. And finally thanks for taking care of our entire trip to Nepal Gokyo Valley (Gokyo Ri) Trekking, we had a great time and of course our next trip we already decided our next trip to Nepal with Nepal wilderness team.
