Great Guide - Having travelled with Himalayan Social Journey 7years ago we didn’t hesitate to book with them again, this trip surpassed the previous one. Our guide Tenzen Sherpa was amazing, his knowledge of the mountains and culture is impeccable, due to some unplanned circumstances we had to change our plans mid trek, when we approached Tenzen about this, he came up with a new itinerary that more than met our needs. Throughout the whole trek he was there for our every need and making sure we were ok. We are intending to return next year and we will be requesting Tenzen Sherpa when we do. Also I can’t leave a review without including our porter Ayus, he is incredible with his work, he also made the trip enjoyable and funny with our interactions, Tenzen and Ayus are an amazing team together.

Absolutely amazing Trek Provider. - Overall Itinerary was set very nicely. Staff - I'll rate a 11/10 if I could. They're really down to earth and willing to go beyond their reach to help the participants get their best out of their health as well as creating the smoothest experience. @Santosh & @Dinesh were the two guides we had during our trek recently in Dec'23-Jan'24 and I can't recommend them anymore. They were flawless, excellent in how they handle each and every aspect of the journey. I'll personally rate them a 10/10. Other notable mentions who have been really helpful throughout the journey were Mr. Ram, Usha & Tenzing Sherpa. The hotels, travel plans, guide, suggested food options were really well planned and up to the mark. Overall, one amazing experience, much recommended. One should surely book through HSJ.

Rediscovered inner self in the nature with all the scenic views - These people got really best guides in their payroll, our guide was Santhosh, and he was super helpful in guiding us to base camp. He was patience with all the group, until we took pictures, videos. I was lagging behind all the trek due to sick and he was with me pushing and supporting all the way to EBC. Highly recommended Himalayan Social for there guides and there support to the customers. The views were very scenic, it was really amazing experience. Give it a try !!!

Santosh Dhakal batch EBC 23 Dec - 3rd Jan 2024 trekk - My experience has been amazing during EBC trip and special thanks to our guide SANTOSH DHAKAL who was extremely supportive and patience fully helped us at each step of journey with loads of stories, jokes, care everything. Doing EBC trek in winters is not easy. There were some point when I felt like I wouldn’t be able to complete but Santosh always analysed the situation and gave correct guidance and said ‘trust me you can do it’. Thank you so much for your beleif 😊. Also, the staying arrangements were quite nice with warm foods always. This is the best trekk experience I have ever had 😊.

HSJ provided us with the flexibility and safety we needed to enjoy our time in Nepal. - My Wife and I are an Australian couple that traveled Nepal using HSJ's services. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Originally, we had only booked an Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek with a helicopter return; but due to an injury we had to delay the trek a week. In that time, Ram (the owner of HSJ) and his staff were incredibly helpful and flexible with times, helped us to re-book and even helped us book a Chitwan tour while we were recovering. The guides on our EBC were also incredible. Santosh and Denish guided us all the way to Base Camp, and supported us when we were not dealing well with some of the challenges we were presented with. Santosh also helped us with re-arranging the helicopter for an earlier flight as we were both suffering from mild AMS. As far as Nepalese-based tour companies are concerned, I feel as though HSJ did everything in their power to ensure my Wife and I were safe and happy with our experience of Nepal. Thanks guys.
