Our expectations were not disappointed. During the trek, he arranged our guide – Lal Gurung – who was outstanding. Ask for Lal if you book with Himal and you’ll be extremely well taken care of. He really added to the experience by having extensive knowledge of the region.
We will be booking with only one team when we return.

During our two trips to Nepal in April 2013 and May 2014, we enjoyed fantastic treks with Nepal Wilderness Trekking. We were a family of four with two children aged 3 and 7. The kids had a great time. The majority of the time, my son spent in a porter’s basket, which he loved, where he napped often. I appreciated the fact that the staff enjoyed children so much. The second trip I took was just my son, my brother, and my 77-year-old mother. The NWT staff was also very flexible and accommodating during this trip. I cannot say enough good things about them, and whenever we talk about Nepal, we always recommend them to our friends.
We had a wonderful time. As we visited in October 2015, he made more than expected arrangements for us, that too during the difficult post-earthquake recovery period. We are grateful.
For the Langtang Trek, we traveled with our guide Lal Gurung. I could not have asked for a better person to guide our small family group than Lal, who was a wonderful guide and took care of all our needs and requests. After we reached Kyanjin Gompa, we completed the trekking part of our trip since we were traveling into the Christmas break. Lal arranged for a charter helicopter to pick us up from almost directly out front of the tea house and take us straight to the airport in Kathmandu after we had explored the area for a few days. The journey itself was incredible; flying through the Himalayas on Christmas Day with all of the highest peaks in the world surrounding us under crystal clear skies all the way back.
The trek itself was a tough first few days of steep climbing trails through beautiful forest and mountain valleys, then it opened up as we progressed. As the earthquake has left its mark in various areas, crossing some of the rockfalls and slides definitely brings home the lives lost and damage done in the region. Great to see all the work that has been done and is still being done on the re-building. The tea houses all had great facilities, and the local owners made the experience unforgettable. Himal at Nepal Wilderness Tours selected the perfect guide for our family and made sure the helicopter picked us up on Christmas Day. A big thank you to Lal for being an amazing guide and now friend, and to Himal for bringing us together.

I’m KJ from Malaysia who had recently (Oct 2012) completed a fantastic 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 merely one of the best guides I’ve ever trekked.

I had an excellent 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 areas 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 excellent 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 extraordinary. 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 fantastic experience trekking in Nepal with Himal!
