Nepal Trekking & Himalayan Adventures — Himalayan Social Journey

“Big thank you to Ram and his team on creating for us an awesome and exciting experience in Nepal. We went on a trek to the gokyo and everest region and the guide, Bishnu and porter were extremely friendly and helpful. They definitely made the trek much more fun and also the guide was extremely helpful in finding us the best rooms in lodges and found us extra blankets when needed. Hearing from other trekkers there are definitely some doggy guides but Bishnu is extremely experienced and treated us like family and cooked us the most amazing dahl bhat you will have in nepal :) arriving at the airport and not knowing anything Ram and his team were there to take us to the hotel and made us extremely comfortable. I would definitely recommend going with Ram and his team for your experience in Nepal. They are definitely the most friendly, helpful and value for money!!!!”

“I will be eternally grateful that I answered a Facebook advert by Yoga teacher Alexandra Bruin to join her Yoga trekking holiday. Alexandra had joined with Ram Sapkota’s Himalayan Social to organise a 12-day holiday that inspired, thrilled, moved and exhausted me. Ram is old school and by that I mean his word is his bond – if you are lucky enough to meet the man – who donates 10% of his profits to community projects – you will understand. Meeting him was not a problem either because he made sure he was there to see us off on the first morning of the holiday and there to take us for a cultural meal on the last night before personally seeing me to my ride to the airport for my return home. The Himalayan Social guide looking after us was Bishnu and the porter was Binod. Over the next 12 days I quickly came to realise that we had been blessed because they were without a shadow of a doubt the best most personable friendly knowledgeable team out of those that we met on the trek looking after other groups. Not only that but when the guides got together to provide some Nepalese folk singing and dancing it was clear that Bishnu was the best dancer on the mountain. I have had a regular yoga practice for 2-3 years now at a yoga centre where teachers come and go but only the best survive. Alexandra would have no trouble making herself a permanent fixture at any yoga centre that was lucky enough to benefit from her patronage. Her Yoga instruction is excellent, so much so that she had the Bishnu & Binon accomplishing poses it took me a year to master (and I’m using the word master loosely). This was her second year doing the trekking / yoga tour and it was obvious that she was there because she has fallen in love with the country and the people and has taken Ram’s charitable causes to her heart. I have said a lot about the people because by the end of the holiday I felt I we had all bonded as friends and I know if Alexandra does the tour next year she will insist on having Bishnu & Binon on her team. I would have been happy with the friendship and the spectacular scenery alone but am happy to confirm that the town hotels and the tea houses selected by Himalayan Social were to a very good standard often providing a standard of service / accommodation & facilities that exceeded my expectations. Throw in the city guided tours and you have what is a fantastic holiday at unbelievable value for money. So if you are thinking of booking a holiday through Himalayan Social or through Alexandra – do not worry, you will be in excellent hands.”

“What a fantastic holiday. Getting to experience a number of different adventures on the 14 day tour including elephant safari and rafting, as well as 5 days of magnificent scenery while trekking in the Annapurna mountains. We also went on the optional tours to see Mount Everest and the Himalayan mountain range, and went paragliding in Pokhara - what great experiences! Thank you Himalayan Social Journey (Ram and Prabin) for looking after us and providing us with amazing memories that will last a lifetime.”

“From the excellent day trips around Kathmandu which included the Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath, Swaymbhu and Patan Durbar Square with our excellent guide Swami to the really beautiful drive up to Nagharkot which had terraced fields almost reaching heaven and beaut views of the snow capped mountains and then the magnificent cultural city of Bhaktapur, the excellent drivers, guides, porters and manager of Himalayan Social Journey could not be faulted. My lifelong ambition of trekking in the Himalayas was also fulfilled, the scenery on the Annapurna trek was spectacular and being a 60 year old, at times even though I found the trek physically challenging, mentally I was encouraged by our wonderful guide Raju and our porters Ancle and Govinda. I was elated, I did it. Many thanks to Himalayan Social Journey.”

“My partner and I booked a 16 day luxury tour to Everest Basecamp, and 3 weeks before leaving the first Nepal earthquake happened. We were worried our tour were cancelled for that reason and contacted Himalayan Social, they assured us the tour was possible and they were happy to take us. As we arrived in Kathmandu we were informed that unfortunately every other person in the tour had cancelled and we would be going alone with our guide and porter. When we arrived in Lukla, our guide Bishnu and our porter Lakpa were already waiting for us and happy so meet us. The trek was sensational, Bishnu is a very knowledgable guide with 24 years + experience. Lakpa was also terrific, always taking the lead in the group. Hotels in Kathmandu were really good, well located in Thamel tourist area. The Hyatt nights included in our package were very relaxing. After our trek to Everest Basecamp, we book a trip to Chitwan and Pokhara which was not so good, and this is the reason why I'm giving it 4 stars and not 5. First the company insisted that we took the rafting activity which I am not a fan of, so we refused. I think it was a great decision, as when we travelled to join the group that did the rafting, we discovered this very polluted river that you wouldn't dare getting anywhere near. The trip to Chitwan by car was very long, as the roads are terrible around Nepal. Chitwan in May/June is terribly hot, and the abuse of elephants is present in every corner. The hotel "Green Park Chitwan" was very nice, but not all hotels offered have the same standards. Pokhara is a nice city, and we stayed in a nice hotel"Mount Kailash", although it was also very very hot. Had I known I would have changed this trip for a Tibet excursion instead. In general, Himalaya Social staff was very kind and helpful and accommodated to our needs. I do recommend any of their Everest Basecamp tours”

“An unforgettable experience to be trekking in Nepal - even though it is classed as an easy trek it was challenging enough but "doable" as the trekking each day was only a couple of hours. HSJ made the experience very relaxed and enjoyable. We had a fantastic group and our two guides Binod and Tikaram and the wonderful porters looked after us so well - they were so caring and supportive on the trek and flexible enough to fit in with our wishes. The accommodation in Kathmandu was basic but very clean and the location was fantastic. The last night was in a resort out of town and a nice way to finish off the trip. The accommodation in Pokhara was also of excellent standard. The accommodation on the trek was in very basic guesthouses but better than I expected as we had our own room with a bathroom with a western toilet and hot water. In hindsight it would have been a good idea to bring our own linen to leave behind in the more remote villages. The optional extras such as the scenic flight over the Himalayas and the paragliding are also not to be missed experiences. At the end of our trek we had the option to fly back to Kathmandu from Pokhara or to go by bus. We opted for the bus and glad we did for even though it took 8 hours to cover 200km we felt that we had seen up close some of the Nepalese countryside. All in all it was a fabulous trip and would highly recommend HSJ and their staff.”

“My brother and I spent a week in Nepal and HSJ (with our guide Bishnu) took care of us from arrival to departure. Our program was as written in the itinerary “Everest Panorama Trek”, and they were flexible with us in changing the program’s order. So we had no complaints. Highly recommended!”

“It was an amazing experience to Gosaikunda. The pilot was really coo that gave us enough time to stay there. Thanks Himalayan Social Journey for this amazing trip!”

“Wow what an adventure. There was great heights, low lows. Action, drama and everything else to make trecking as great as it could be HJS did it all for me. My own personal tour guide Bishnu is incredible. He speaks English better then I do... and it's my primary language. He gave me his water when mine froze. He gave me his phone charger, also when mine froze up and he kept me fed, dry and happy with his excellent stories, service and with his understanding of the lore of the land. I could not have climbed mera peak (6472m) without you my friend. I'm glad I had you there and I can't wait to to join you on an even higher mountain next time.”
