Puru and Robin were our guide and porter for the Tamang Heritage trail and Langtang Valley trek. They were so kind throughout, checking in on us at higher altitudes and reminding us to go slowly to acclimatise better in higher altitudes. We had a great time and they answered our numerous questions about which mountain was which and when it was, indeed, actually a mountain. They also honoured our request to change from staying again at a teahouse in Lama Hotel that we hadn't liked to a different one and organised it all super quickly which was great. Always greeted us with smiles in the morning, made sure we were taken care of and, for our whole trek, we felt welcomed and in a friendly, comfortable environment.
My mum and I had a wonderful time with our guide Prem from the Himalayahub adventure trekking company! He accommodated us very well. We told him we wanted to take it slowly and he adjusted the itinerary exactly to our wishes. He is very flexible, helped us through the more difficult parts of the trail and knows the way (and what day hikes to do) very well. He also chose very nice places to sleep and eat, the smaller ones instead of the very large ones. We also had nice conversations with him about Nepal. We would definitely recommend him and this company :).
We had an incredible experience trekking the Tsum Valley and Manaslu Circuit with Himalayan Hub and Suresh. Overall we would give them 5 stars.
Our guide, Suresh, was excellent—very knowledgeable about the mountains as well as Tibetan and Nepali culture, and he even helped us pick up some basics of the local languages along the way. He was efficient and organised throughout, consistently choosing quiet, comfortable teahouses with good food. It was clear he had strong relationships with many of the lodge owners, which made our stays even more enjoyable.
The trek itself was absolutely stunning, with amazing views throughout. Himalayan Hub also made the logistics very easy: the booking process was smooth, and Prakash was flexible with our schedule, allowing us to adjust our departure to suit our time in Kathmandu. Collecting the included sleeping bags was simple, and the trekking shop they recommended offered great prices.
A couple of small areas for improvement: communication could have been clearer at times. For example, we weren’t aware in advance that we’d be taking a 10-hour local bus from Kathmandu to the trek start—this was fine for us, but it would have been good to know ahead of time. Similarly, a heads-up that there would be no data or power for several days from Larke Bazar onwards would have helped us prepare better/warn family. We also felt some occasional pressure from our guide to drink.
Overall, though, a fantastic trekking experience with a great company and a knowledgeable guide.
