Trip of a lifetime

We had a great trip to Nepal. Himalayan Glacier customer service was top notch. From the moment we got off the plane [around midnight] they were there to greet us and take us to our excellent hotel in Kathmandu.
We had trouble getting to Lukla on our first day due to weather, but our guide hira worked very hard to ensure we would get there the next day.

 

Hira was awesome. He is very knowledgeable, helpful, and provided medications that were needed to relieve the altitude and stomach problems. Our assistant and our porters were also amazing. They always had a smile on there face.

The trek itself was unbelievable, the scenery, trails were incredible. The people in the villages are so friendly and big-hearted. this was our 1st trekking trip and with the well planned itinerary and the skillfull guiding of hira we were able to achieve our goal and get to EBC.

this was a “trip of a lifetime” for us and Himilayan Glacier was there to make it happen. We would highly recommend them.

Thanks for everything Norm and Dawn Boulet

Wonderful trek EBC via Gokyo with Himalayan Glacier

Our trip with Himalayan Glacier was a great experience.   I did a great deal of research on trekking companies and decided on Himalayan Glacier due to very positive reviews, an excellent website, very prompt/informative answers to my questions, ability to do custom itineraries and reasonable rates.  I also liked the fact that my money was going towards employing a Nepalese staff as tourism is extremely important to the economy of Nepal.

Trip highlights included going to Everest Base Camp, watching sunset on Everest from Kala Patthar and hiking over Cho La Pass. We had limited days in Nepal and therefore did a custom trip at a faster than normal pace. Santa, our guide, was very flexible to our planned itinerary, but also adamant about acclimating properly. We worked out an itinerary that was very satisfactory and everyone stayed healthy at high altitude.

I want to say thanks to our guide Santa.   He did an outstanding job.  He set up reservations for our lodges, took us to eat at places with safe food for weak western stomachs and kept us on track.   Surprisingly Santa’s cell phone worked at most places along the trek.  He used his cell phone to confirm lodge reservations, check on weather and even order meals for us before arriving in a village.   There are few trail signs in this region.   I consider myself pretty  good and route finding, but was very glad we had Santa to keep us on track as there are many spurs off the normal path that would have been confusing.

A big thank you to our porter Kesav as well.  We did some long days on the trail to stay on our aggressive schedule.   Kasav carried a heavy load, as normal, on these days, never once complaining and always with a smile on his face.   He also watched after us to make sure we were safe.

Having a guide and porter was extremely helpful.   I had thought about doing the trek independently.   Sounder minds prevailed, however (my wife).    I quickly found a trekking company to be very helpful.   Our guide and porter took care of us.   Everything from picking us up at the airport to planning every detail of our trip.   Flying from Kathmandu to Lukla is not easy.   Flights are constantly delayed due to weather.   Having a guide to help maneuver the complex system can prove very valuable.  You stand a much better chance of keeping your schedule on track when someone is helping who has knowledge of the flight system and friends in the right places.  However, even with this help, I recommend having a couple extra days on each side of your trip, so you can complete your trek and make your international flight on time.

My wife and I found the Himalayan Glacier staff to be very professional.   There were no hidden costs and our itinerary was very well detailed.  The staff went over and beyond expectations to make sure we had a fun and safe trip.

What an incredible journey!  The Himalaya are truly magnificent.  Just when you think you have seen the highlight of the trip around the corner is something even more amazing.   We found the Nepalese people to be very friendly and kind.  We will be back.

Everest Base Camp Trek

Trekking to the Everest base camp in Nepal with Himalayan Glacier Trekking was an incredible experience. They were very helpful before the trip, met us at the airport, got us settled in, and made us feel like valued guests the entire time.

I was very impressed with the quality and professionalism of their entire staff including guides who were all excellent. They are very focused on their clients and will do whatever they can to make sure you have an enjoyable and successful trip. That total commitment to their guests was demonstrated when upon seeing that most in our group were over 60 they shuffled schedules to give us one of their most experienced guides. They went out of their way to insure we safely completed our goal of trekking to Everest base camp.

This is not a cut rate trekking agency. Himalayan Glacier Trekking has excellent customer service. Accommodations in Kathmandu were above average and they provided the most comfortable accommodations available during the trek. Other companies try to offer lower prices by cutting costs wherever they can but I appreciated the extra care and comfort provided by Himalayan Glacier Trekking.

Our guide Devraj Giri and assistant guide Chitra took excellent care of us. They were constantly on the lookout for our wellbeing and comfort. Their goal was to make sure we were healthy, comfortable, and successfully made it to Everest base camp. Chitra did an amazing job of keeping a steady slow pace that we could all manage, Giri made sure we were healthy and provided any medication we needed for altitude or tummy problems. Giri handled every detail along the way so all we had to do was enjoy the scenery. At the tea houses each day Giri checked on the kitchen staff to make sure our meals were properly prepared, and when the dining room stove was lit they somehow made sure we all had a seat around the fire.

I can highly recommend Himalayan Glacier Trekking. Their focus on customer service is amazing.
