Walking through rhododendron forests near Tharepati at 3,597m in full bloom was absolutely magical. The trees were covered in red and pink flowers and the whole forest felt alive. Our guide pointed out birds hiding in the branches. Himalaya Hub is one of the best trekking agencies in Nepal and their spring timing was perfect. The Helambu Trekking route through those forests was the highlight of my whole Nepal trip. Highly recommended trekking company for nature lovers.

Safe and Easy Nepal Trekking Route
I was nervous about trekking in Nepal because I am not very fit. But the Helambu Trek was perfect for me. No dangerous altitude, beautiful forests, and friendly villages. Our guide was so encouraging and never made me feel slow. Himalaya Hub is a professional trekking company and they planned the route perfectly for our group. Kutumsang village at 2,470m was a lovely overnight stop. Safe and well organized from start to finish. I finally understand why people love trekking in Nepal.
The Hyolmo people in Helambu Valley have such a deep Tibetan Buddhist culture. Every village had prayer flags and mani walls and the sound of monks chanting. Our guide was from the region and shared stories about his own family traditions. He made every cultural stop feel personal and genuine. Himalaya Hub is a local trekking operator in Kathmandu and their connection to these communities is really special. The Helambu Trek Nepal showed me a side of Nepal I had never seen before. Amazing experience in Nepal.
Amazing Experience of the Annapurna Circuit with Sagar and Himalaya Hub
Sagar was our porter/guide during our 15 day trek of the Annapurna Circuit in late 2019. He had great knowledge of the trek and gave sound advice on routes to take while being considerate of our wants and needs. He never complained about carrying our (heavy) backpack and always had a smile on his face. This was a trek we had been looking forward to for quite some time, so it was awesome to have someone who complimented the experience. Himalayan Hub were also very informative and proficient in organising our trek so we really couldn't be happier with our Annapurna Circuit trek. Thanks Sagar and Himalayan Hub!
The sunrise from Chisapani at 2,194m was so beautiful it hurt. Ganesh Himal at 7,422m turned golden and the whole valley below was still dark. Our guide woke us up just in time. Himalaya Hub is a great trekking company in Nepal. Perfect short trek near Kathmandu.
