British School Manila in Nepal / Annapurna Trek

On behalf of the teachers and students of the British School Manila, I would like to thank you and your team for an absolutely fabulous trip. Just the logistics of getting 46 students and 6 teachers from one place to another was a remarkable feat which was accomplished with great success, and then there was the accommodating and feeding on top of that.

Your guides were very professional and worked tirelessly each day to ensure that all of the students enjoyed their stay in Nepal and that the trek to the Annapurnas and Poon Hill went without a hitch.

On the way down one villager commented that our party, with a total of 80 people, including the guides and porters was the biggest group that he could remember seeing. Once again due to your excellent arrangements.

A big thank you to all at Himalayan Glacier for making this a wonderful and memorable trip for so many. I would recommend you without reservation and you will certainly be first on my list if I need someone to organise another trip to the Himalaya.

Annapurna and Everest Trek in Nepal

During January-March 2010, we used Himalayan Glacier Trekking for three treks, They are an outstanding company. Naba Raj Amgai, Director of Operations, Nepal, is a real treasure. His English is excellent. He is smart, charming and fun. And he’s very detail-oriented, which means that all of our treks went very smoothly. We had a problem with one flight cancellation due to weather, and that was handled quickly, professionally and smoothly by Naba and his staff. We were able to tailor our trips to our wishes and also keep the schedule flexible in case we wanted to add or subtract a day or two. Our guide, Raj, led all three of our treks, and he is exceptional. He took us to the Annapurna area (about 10 nights), the Everest region (about 11 nights), and the Kathmandu Valley (four nights). He works hard without seeming to and left nothing undone to make us feel comfortable and ensure we had good treks. We can’t recommend Himalayan Glacier Trekking highly enough!

Annapurna Trek & Himalayan Glacier in the New York Time

THE path is wide, the terrain easy, yet I keep losing my footing, tripping over stones and my own feet because I can’t watch the trail. My eyes refuse to leave the white mountain filling the sky before me, the 24,786-foot Himalayan peak Annapurna III. It dominates the horizon as surely as a sunset does, but with millenniums-old glaciers ringing its crest like a necklace of diamonds, it feels more dazzling than even the brightest setting sun.

Just over a third of the way through the legendary 150-mile Annapurna Circuit trek, circling the Annapurna massif in Nepal, I have finally reached a height where no smaller mountains obscure my sightlines to the peaks. Ahead, four days on, lies Thorong La, a daunting 17,769-foot pass, the high point of the circuit and start of the trail back down. But I’ve already reached euphoria. Annapurna III is too everything — tall, close, imposing, beautiful — to be true.

Explore Nepal with Himalayan Glacier Trekking

Thank you for organising and making possible our wonderful holiday in Nepal.  Even though it was only 17 days we achieved and saw so much of your wonderful country.  Our holiday encompassed elephant and jeep safaris in Chitwan National Park, the cultural experience of a Hindu wedding, trekking in the mountains around Pokara, seeing how the local people live and work from day to day, before heading to Jomson and Muktinath in the Mustang District.  As we live in the tropics in Queensland, Australia, we were thrilled to walk in fresh snow at 4,000 m altitude at Muktinath.

Annapurna Circuit Trek in Nepal

Greetings from Australia.

We look back at our wonderful photos and can’t believe it all took place just under one week ago. Thank you for making our time in Nepal so very special. It is an understatement to say that we will never forget it.

We have many highlights from our trip. It is a cliche, but an accurate one, when they say that it is the people who make a holiday extra special. This was certainly the case with us. From our wonderful guides, Hom Neth and Pradeep, (who knew everything from the technical aspects of the trip to how to make the best chipati in the Himalayas), to Sayam and “Khushie Ram” who were our very friendly porters, we were looked after from the moment we stepped off the plane, to the time we boarded again at the end of our trip.

Annapurna sunrise trek

The staff at Himalayan Glacier are exceptional.  Within 4 hours of my email query, I had a telephone call from Naba who answered all my questions and helped me plan a fantastic Annapurna sunrise trek to the Annapurna area.  My leader and supporter, Homnath and Ramchandra took very good care of me through out my time in Nepal and even deviated from the itinerary so I could see more of the beautiful mountains and hot springs.  If you are planning a trekking holiday in Nepal, why trek with the rest when you can trek with the best -  Himalayan Glacier Trekking!

Thanks so much for a fantastic time Naba and you can be sure that when I return to Nepal, I’ll travel with you again, and I’ll recommend you to everyone I know.

Cheers,

Annapurna Trek & Lhasa Overland tour gave me good memories…

I would also like to thank you (chet) and your company Himalayan Glacier Trekking for all your information, organizing my treks and tours and help during my stay in Kathmandu. I still have good memories of my Tibet trip (Kathmandu to Lhasa Overland tour ) and my Poonhill trek (Annapurna Trek ) with your company (beginning of December). The Poonhill trek, the mountains, the people, the nature and the whole experience was great! Especially the mountains, I love them! For me, with almost no experience with trekking, it was really a challenge. Sometimes hard (for example the more then 3000 steps to Ulleri) but most of the time manageble. And the view from Poonhill was unforgetable!!

I was very happy that you’ve found a nice and friendly guide for me. Sushil was always happy, singing Nepali songs and polite enough to wait for me after every little break I needed. When I was struggeling with the steps he was trying to help me (for example: making an extra walking stick, or just asking me how I was doing). He has even tried to learn me Nepali but sometimes I needed my energy for walking instead of Nepali lessons. Kathmandu to Lhasa Overland tour was amazing tour I really enjoyed it too. The Tibetan guide, jeep, driver and all the service was excellent except high altitude. The places where I’ve been sleeping on trek where sober but fine, after a walk you don’t need more than a shower and a nice bed. The choices of breakfast, lunch and dinner where also fine. I was suprised to see lasagne and mexican food on some menu’s;-)I’ve no complains about the trip or your company, you did very well! I am very satisfied with your company Himalayan Glacier Trekking. Thanks again for your help! Thank you for sending Sushil (guide) with me during this trek. Greetings Dita Dita Roetert Steenbruggen Van Wassenaerlaan 29 2343 AS Oegstgeest The Netherlands

After Annapurna Base camp trek

We had an awesome trek to Annapurna Base camp.

We lucked out with perfect weather, and had clear views all along the trail. We so grateful that we were directed to Himalayan Glacier Trekking company and matched up with Iswor as our beat guide. We were a bit apprehensive at first, but all of our fears were allayed as soon as we started. Iswor was amazing guide for Annapurna Base camp Trek. He was very informative, patient, high professional and even taught us some Nepali. Because our entire trip to Nepal was spent trekking, we were so happy to have Himalayan Glacier and Iswor to tell us stories of his life and life of the Nepali people that we would otherwise not have experienced. Iswor treated us like family. We felt like he cared more for us and our wellbeing, than any other guide we saw on the trek. My experience and impression of Nepal is in the highest regard, much due to Iswor. We met an English doctor on the plane on my way home, and he is planning on trekking in Nepal. we immediately gave him Himalayan Glacier agency , Iswor’s name and other information. After telling him our experience with Iswor and his company, he was impressed and wants to contact them when it is time to trek. we plan on always recommending Iswor and his company to friends that want to trek in Nepal.
