VHT CLIENTS REFRENCES – As an old LP trekking guide editor, veteran walker and Walking in Italy author, I wanted to write and recommend a really great Nepali-run trekking company, Visit Himalaya Treks, that sets a benchmark for quality of service and deserves a mention in the next edition. I recently trekked the Manaslu Circuit in midwinter with my son and sister’s family. We originally based our choice of company on the recommendation of veteran trekkers Howard and Sue Dengate who have walked in the Himalayas over 20 times, often in remote areas.

  • Visit Himalaya Treks offers a wide range of treks and tours and specialises in remote-area trekking (Kanchenjunga, Upper and Lower Dolpo), factors which set them apart from many trekking companies focusing on more popular regions. The VHT website is comprehensive and provides a good picture of the calibre of trekking itineraries and thorough preparation.
  • They have exclusively five-star recommendations on Trip Advisor and many repeat customers.
  • They offer reasonable prices and good value for money. They are very flexible in their itineraries and are prepared to customise treks and work around clients’ preferences.
  • Visit Himalaya Treks pride themselves on quality of their service, a cornerstone of their business. Provisions were unskimping and we were surprised at how attentive Himal personally was, meeting us at the airport, taking us to dinner and seeing us off on our departure.
  • I was very impressed with VHT’s attention to safety and acclimatisation, especially with kids present.
  • They are genuine advocates of responsible tourism and take the wellbeing, conditions and ongoing professional development of their guides seriously, which for us was reflected in the very positive, cheerful atmosphere on the trek.
  • The guides are well trained, knowledgeable and professional, with excellent English. Our guide was very attentive to our needs, wonderful with the kids and a thoroughly nice person.

We listen to you and suggest or develop experiences that match interests and are insightful, memorable and fun.

We respect the fact that you have trusted us with your travel expectations, and take our responsibility very seriously to deliver an excellent experience.

We constantly strive to exceed your expectations.

We work responsibly and sustainably, and work tirelessly to reduce the negative impacts of travel.

We plough back into society, through demonstrable good business practice and of course charity.

Money is not the only goal, and we ensure a good spread of the tourism dollar.

Over the Last 13 years guided in the Himalayas of Nepal, Visit Himalaya Treks is established early 2009 aim to share first hand travel experience, beauty of Landscapes, local traditions, cultures, lifestyles – anything that contributes to its unique identity. We travel considerately and respectfully, in smaller groups to minimize our impact, to ensure that every our holiday is a beneficial experience for everyone involved.

Visit Himalaya Treks is fully resisted company under the Government of Nepal, honored member of Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal [TAAN] Nepal Mountaineering Association [NMA] and Kathmandu Environmental Education Project [KEEP].

We also do our best to provide as much flexibility and choice as we possibly can, making it simple for you to experience a very different holiday.
