मनै लोभ्यायो
Madan Krishna Shrestha, Nepali actor
संसारकै सबै भन्दा अग्लो झोलुंगे पूल, संसारमा शालिग्राम पाईने एक मात्र नदी कालीगण्डकी जस्को भौगोलिक दृष्टीकोणले अत्यन्तै ठूलो महत्व छ। यो कालीगण्डकी लाखौं बर्ष पहिले पृथ्वीमा हिमालय पर्बतहरु बन्नु भन्दा पहिले बनेको नदी रहेछ ।यो नदीको पारि देखिने चराचुरु्गीहरु नदी वारि देखिंदैन, सालिग्राम पनि वारि किनारमा मात्र पाईन्छ पारि किनारमा पाईंदैन, कस्तो अचम्म । यस्ता बिभिन्न कारणले पनि कुश्माको निक्कै ठूलो महत्व छ । त्यस माथि राम्रो ब्यबहार भएका असल कुस्माबासीहरुले मनै लोभ्यायो ।.
Loved skiing in Kalinchowk
Ram Kaji Shrestha
Apart from the view of Dhaulagiri, Langtang, Gauri Shankar, Mount Ganesh, and other tall mountains, I loved skiing in the region. The experience of Skiing was fantastic and it is very close to Kathmandu. At the same time, I can have some trekking to refresh myself. I would like to recommend my friends to visit this place to get the experience of trekking and other adventurous activities with Hiking Annapurna
Amazing Kalinchowk Trip
Tejendra Budha
The Kalinchowk trip was really amazing for me. I enjoy the snow and visit Kalinchowk Bhagwati temple at the top of the hill. The view from the top of its surroundings was fabulous. I would love to visit this place again in the future. Thank you Hiking Annapurna for organizing a trip for us. Best Value For our Cost.
Great company offering very fair value
Richard J. Chin
Hiking Annapurna made our trip unforgettable and experience. We booked in March 2019 and have been helped by Manish and begin asking the question he replied patiently. We were picked up at the airport by a friendly guide on 18th January 2020. The great arrangement of the resort and accommodation was perfectly managed, and each day filled with religious and humbling experience, obtained from helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable guides and porters. They were truly amazing. Ramesh was an excellent organizer. He had it figured out, like clockwork, nothing was left to chance. Great support in putting together a full itinerary on short notice. Each of the trip was enjoyable and well planned. I also highly recommend Hiking Annapurna Trekking and Tours and always give the very best match and exceed your expectations
Stunning View and Spiritually Rich - EVEREST
Verna N. Carson
This past year, I had done trekking into Nepal for the Thrill experience with all the Hiking Annapurna trekking and tours team and the provider reacts to our question very quickly with great response and clear detail. It is hard to write this review without getting hyperbole following hyperbole. They provided the best Hotel rooms, standard lodges with quality dinner and foods. Our guide created a plan to perform the short Everest Base Camp and this trip easily finished with a humble guide. The trek was about a stunning view of snowcapped mountains and glacier-fed river and landscape which grows increasingly and also the weather was bright - clear blue sky with no rain and otherworldly scenery. Climbing into the top hill behind Namche Bazaar you are rewarded with the very first view of Mt. Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse to the north. This area is truly rich by diversity, ethnic groups, and civilization. I heard so much about hiking and Nepali culture during the trek and 100% recommend Hiking Annapurna trekking and tours Nepal.
Wow moment at Kalinchowk
Gunjan Thapa
Wow! Wow! Wow Moment!!! It was a wow moment for me throughout the Kalinchowk Trip. I really feel refreshment and adorable in Kuri Village covered with snow. I couldn't even explain that moment of snowfall at Kuri village. The Kalinchowk is in Dolkha district at the altitude of 3842 meter above the sea level. The panaromic view of mountains like Dhaulargiri, Gauri Shankher, Langtang, Manaslu, Mount Ganesh and other mountains was an amazing and wonderful. My first time experience in Kalinchowk trip is really awesome even though it was an off road. I really enjoy during hiking from Kuri village to Kalinchowk Bhagwati temple with startling view of mountains. Finally, if I need to suggest any place to visit for my friends then it would be definitely Kalinchowk
kalinchowk - way that leads to heaven
Bikash KC
Even though it was a planned trip of our classmates. Due to some circumstances all the friends couldnot make but me and Mahananda pandey decided to make it happen. So it was first experience of playing snow. The road was off-road type for some hours but the natural scenic view made it all forgotten. We reached the kuri village , a small village having lots of hotels situated below the hill of kalinchowk mandir. The village had mesmerizing beauty which was glorified by the snow itself. We went to hotel ( fireside) where we had to stay. It was too damn cold in the evening. That night we enjoyed the camp fire with dance and songs. The very next morning we had to go to temple and we did take the path by walking. There was a cable car too for passenger but we too decided to go on foot. It was so exhausting and enjoyable walk. We did reached at the top(at the height of 3842meter) in almost two and half hours . We saw serene power of kalinchowk bhagwati and shiv parbati kunda. It was so beautiful to look around the hill. It’s a paradise from there. We then clicked some snaps during returning from there. It’s a place to visit for those who loves fun in the natural view.
A lifetime experience in Muktinath
Chinnaswamy
Although the road to Muktinath is hard and tough, the outcome is magnificent. This place itself is one of the most beautiful places I have ever traveled. It is believed that one can get salvation by taking bath in 108 waterspouts and two kundas (ponds) placed in this reason.
Best trekking in Mardi Himal
Dewey Barton
We booked the Mardi Himal trek, and not only was the trek wonderful but also Hiking annapurna Nepal provided us with wonderful tours of Kathmandu. Our trek guide and porters were strong and always concerned for our safety. A special shout-out to our patient and caring guide, Eric. Our Kathmandu tour guides were also wonderful and added so much memory to our trip. We asked for changes mid-trip, and Hiking annapurna Nepal accommodated us immediately. It was a wonderful trek and very affordable. Thank you everyone!!!
Great Muktinath yatra experience
Ram Krishna
This place has religious importance for both Hindus and Buddhists. I took a bath in waterspouts and kundas and believe that all my sins were washed away. I loved to trek in this area and views of the surroundings were just amazing.
Fantastic Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour
Cecil E. Madigan, USA
Fantastic ride and we had been so blessed with the weather bright and lovely for magnificent scenery of snowy snow-capped peaks and becoming nearer to our destination inside the temperate zone of ice and glaciers towards base camp. Grand views from scenic perspective in which our chopper landed facing stunning near Mt. Everest and other giant hills.
Thanks to our captain also to our representative in Nepal, Hiking Annapurna for a wonderful vacation.

Awesome Mt. Kailash Trip
Kama L
I recently (Oct 2013) visited Nepal and Mt Kailash. Birendra was recommended through a friend of mine who also owns a travel company.
Originally I was apprehensive as I was traveling alone but his prompt replies and willingness to respond to my concerns ensured I felt safe during all parts of my trip. Safely was his utmost concern. He was also exceptionally helpful when things didn't quite go to plan.
I would recommend this company to anyone looking to tour Nepal, Tibet and surrounding areas. I also plan to use them again in the future.
Value For Money
Storm T. Frederiksen
All aspects of the organisation with the offices were handled in a professional way speedy replies to emails and very accurate information, very easy to do business with. Our guide and the team of porters did a good jump always happy and an outstanding mountaineering guide
Thank You Great Everest Trek memories of a life time and I will return again.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
Best Nepal/Tibet Tour Company
Steve Thomas
We wanted to tour Nepal/Tibet by private car as a couple.We did this in India and after a lot of internet research found an outstanding company. (See earlier review) We did the same due diligence in this case. We selected Visit Nepal-Treks and soon were in communication with a young man who runs the place named Birendra. We are just back from our two weeks of touring and thru all of our leadup internet communications and our direct contact with him on our trip he organized we found him a man of the highest integrity and a quick and able communicator as well as being very bright.We were a week in Nepal with daily tours and a week in Tibet with the same driver and guide over our 600 mile journey.The guides provided as well as our drivers were outstanding. The area around Kathmandu is really interesting. You do go one night away to see the sunrise come up over the Himalayas which was quite a sight. We stayed at the Shanker Hotel in Kathmandu for a total ,of 7 days in and out. Great Place look at it on Tripadvisor. It was our choice. They store your bags until your return as you move about the region. They are a 10 minute walk or $2.00 cab ride to Thamel. We flew to Lhasa Tibet from Kathmandu. Get a left side window because Mt. Everest comes right up as do the rest of the Himalayas. It is a direct and close fly by that you will never forget. Cameras at the ready. In Tibet we stayed at the Sheraton 4 points in Lhasa and smaller inns/guest houses on our travels over the Tibetan plain.We purposely went in November to have the best chance at the clearest weather. In the two weeks we were there not a cloud within a thousand miles. We had the honor of having Nagawang as our guide and Kelsang as our driver for the week in Tibet. Try to get that Tibet pairing thru Birendra as you make your arrangements. They never leave your side but are not suffocating.
