This has been a true once-in-a-lifetime experience and my partner and I could not have enjoyed ourselves anymore. Santosh Sherestha was an amazing guide who was so helpful, knowledgeable and friendly, and we would recommend him to anyone. All of our questions were answered by him, and we felt very supported and safe during the trek. His service was flawless including sorting our food and drink orders along the trek and getting us great rooms at the guest houses. We had beautiful views from Poon Hill and it was incredible. Thank you again Santosh!!

I recently completed the Mardi Himal trek, and as a first-time trekker with no cardio training and recovering from a flu, I was quite nervous. However, my guide Anil and our porter made the experience absolutely seamless and joyful. Anil was incredibly attentive and patient, constantly adjusting the pace to suit my needs and checking in on my well-being. He is a fantastic representative of Nepal—friendly, respectful, and genuinely caring. Beyond the trekking support, he is a great photographer and we shared so many laughs even when the climb got challenging! Both Anil and the porter, Shitalrm (sorry for the incorrect spelling) were so knowledgeable and eager to share stories about local culture and beliefs, which made the journey much more meaningful. The accommodation and meal arrangements were excellent throughout. I felt safe and supported every step of the way. If you are heading to the Himalayas, I cannot recommend this team highly enough!
We’ve had such a wonderful and joyful trekking experience here in Nepal over the past few days. Seeing the snow mountains has been truly amazing and unforgettable. Even though the weather was a bit misty at times, we were still lucky enough to catch beautiful views of the mountains. We would also like to express our heartfelt thanks to our guide for the great leadership, care, and companionship throughout the journey. And a big thank you to our porters as well 🩵🙏 We truly appreciate everything. Thank you so much! 🙏 My Journey Travel Hub Sdn Bhd #startyourjourneywithmyjourney
This was an amazing one day hike! If you want to get out and see the mountains, but are in the off season or don’t have enough time for a multi day hike, this is your for you! My guide, Jet Bhadur Nepli, was fantastic! He knew all the great picture taking spots, was knowledgeable about the area and hikes available, and set a great pace for the hike! If you do this hike, be sure to bring water, bandaids, and tall hiking socks because there are leeches. You take some stops along the way for coffee, tea, and food which allows you to rest along the way. I had such an amazing time on this tour and wish I had more days to have done a longer one. If you find yourself in the Pokhara area of Nepal, this is a must do tour, and Jet Bhadur Nepli is the guide you want to show you this area!
We done the 4d/3n Mardi Himal trek. It was amazing from start to finish and our guide Santosh sherestha was brilliant. He was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive throughout. Our porter Kishna was also amazing, we were in complete awe of him the whole time! We were lucky enough to get incredible views when we reached Base camp which made the early start and long day so worth it. I cannot recommend this company enough and we would definitely use again when returning to Nepal
We had an amazing 4-day Mardi Himal trek with Anil Nepal as our guide. From start to finish, everything was smooth, organized, and stress-free. Anil was incredibly friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the experience. He paced the trek perfectly, helped arrange great teahouses, and made the whole journey feel relaxed and enjoyable. The scenery was absolutely amazing. We’re really grateful for such a great experience and would highly recommend Anil Nepal to anyone planning a trek in Nepal!
Golma and our beloved porter Gotam went above and beyond to exceed every expectation. They were constantly positive, accommodating, and genuinely cared about our experience. We weren’t the most prepared, but they adapted completely to our pace and made sure we reached the top and returned safely, confidently, and in good spirits. Our 5-day trek to Annapurna Base Camp was tough—but filled with warmth, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Along the way, we passed through mountains, remote villages, dense forests, bamboo jungles, rivers, and all kinds of incredible and ever-changing terrain. We also learned so much about Nepal, especially the villages we passed through and the breathtaking mountain landscapes surrounding us. The food was consistently great, the accommodation was cosy and welcoming, and every village we stayed in had its own charm and character. If you’re considering an adventure like this, take the leap. This team is professional, safe, and incredibly thoughtful—they’ll tailor the experience to suit exactly what you need. We’ll absolutely be back next year… and we’d do it all over again.
