It was a very good trip which I really enjoyed - I am a 68year old woman, I love bush walking and I traveled to Nepal to do a Luxury Escape Tour including 7 days of trekking on the Mardi Himal Trek to a view point at 4005m. Included as well was sightseeing Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan. Hotel accomodation and Teahouse accomodation on trekking days, all breakfasts and some lunches and dinners. For me the Trekking was the highlight. I really loved it and when I close my eyes I still can see all the snow covered peaks of the Anapurna range and especially Mt Machhapuchhare, which was our constant feature on the trekking days. We were only a very small group (4 people) due to Corona Virus, but we had 2 porters "Sorro" and "Pekay" ( do not know, what the correct spelling of their names is) they were so friendly with always a smile although they were carrying quite a heavy load. Binod our guide was very professional and we had lots of fun together. Nobody got Altitude sickness but we got snowed in at High Camp, so never made it to the viewpoint, but I realized how lucky we were to have a professional guide, who knew what to do to get us out and knew the way out even in meter high snow. Overall, the hotels were all quite good, I loved my daily Bhat Dhal and I am planning a return to Nepal to walk maybe the Anapurna Circuit with the company again Thanks for great memories, guys

Fantastic December trekking holiday in himalayan foothills - Himalayan Social Journey were fantastic from our planning stages through to being met on time at the airport by their friendly knowledgeable guides and then the magnificent tours of kathmandu and trekking up to Poon Hill look out passing through gorgeous mountain villages such as ghorepani and tadapani. Amazing holiday with teenage children - we played cards and danced and felt a connection with the guides and porters as well as the party comprised of 4 groups of trekkers (14 tourists).it was a lovely holiday in late December. Cold at night but clear skies and sunny days. Please think about this for your next holiday.

The best travel company I have been with so far!! - After seeing lots of good reviews about Himalayan Social Journey and also upon recommendations from my friends from their recent experiences with them, i booked a week Pokhara tour with them. Needless to say, they exceeded my expectation at the very beginning with their very reasonable price. The staff and the management was very cooperative and they fully assisted us in our trip promptly responding to our every enquiries. The guides provided were very friendly and very fun. They managed to indulge us to every big and small attractions of the incredible Pokhara city. A week at Pokhara with the HSJ team was an unforgettable experience with lots of adventure, welcoming people , good food and comfy stays. Definitely recommend HSJ if you are looking for fun-filled accompaniment to go for that trip of your lifetime!!!
