How should I put it? An excellent trip indeed! Nepal painted a different picture in my head before I arrived on 05th May 2018. Turned out, the country and its people is very welcoming and warm hearted.
My friend and I didn’t make any tour booking prior to our arrival date. We happened to know the Himalaya Hub a day after. We asked them to provide a tour service to the ABC for a 9-day trek. The price was reasonable. Prakas, our tour guide, accompanied us the whole 9 or 10 days to the base camp and back. He is a very caring individual and possesses a lot of sense of humor. Really recommended him to any type of group.
Overall, thanks to Nepal, its people, and Himalaya Hub tour that provided us the best trip yet.
We did the ABC with the poon hill trek included and the trek was simply mind blowing and very fulfilling and this surely couldn't have happened without Himalayan hub. Meeting Ramesh randomly he explained the trek and was very welcoming and we decided to take up the trek. Then we met the real superstar SUSHIL who is just amazing . He led us very capabaly through the mountains and felt very comfortable and enjoyed the trek with him . He was very patient and engaging and really a wonderful person . Couldn't have asked more .kudos Himalayan hub... Hope to do a trek again with you guys.
I would like to start to say that for the more well knowed treks in Nepal, like the ABC (the one I did) getting a guide is really not necessary. You will save a substantial amount of money if you do it without one or if you do with an independent guide. Just find a fellow traveler to do it with you and do some research before. But if you don't want to have all that trouble and what to do it with a trekking company, I can recommend Himalaya Hub. Ask for Sandip Bhattarai, this young guide from Chitwan that as amazing information about every place you go, is super helpful and takes care of everything you need during the trek.
My girlfriend and me visited nepal in the beginning of september, which is monsun time in nepal. We were a little worried about doing the ABC Trek during this time, so it was the best thing to have our super nice, funny and friendly guide Rupesh with us. He organised everything just perfectly - from the start in Kathmandu until the end of our trip back in Pokhara. During the trek he told us a lot about the mountain people, animals, history and culture. He took care when there were any problems, i.g my girlfriend getting sick, heavy rain or landslides. In the end we had a great time with Rupesh!
We couldn’t have imagined a better guide and trip!
We made ABC and Poon hill trek on 10 days and we took a guide-porter, some transportations and permits via Himalayan Hub - travel agency. CEO of agency, Puru was very friendly with exellent english. Our guide Sushil was doing exellent job and also carried about 10 kg for us. Sushil took very good care of us and arranged good rooms with good views. He told a lot about local flora and fauna on the way. He speaks good english compared to many others. We also had nice conversations of politics, religions, economics etc. As senior guide of company he has a lot of experience, he knows AMS and basics of first aid.
The only negative thing to mention is that in the office we clearly told we want 1-2 free days and permits for 12 days and still they took permits only for 10 days. Sushil would have handle that, but still it could have cause problem.
Ja suomeksi. Erittäin hyvä kuva jäi sekä firmasta että oppaastamme, käyttäisin heidän palveluja uudestaankin. Sushilin kanssa on helppo tulla toimeen ja hän mielellään keskustelee aiheesta kuin aiheesta. Vaikka englannin kielioppi ei olekaan täydellistä niin asiat tulee ymmärretyksi puolin ja toisin. Hän huolehtii hyvin asiakkaistaan. Voit myös itse vaikuttaa majoitus- ja syömispaikkoihin kunhan sovit siitä etukäteen. Osaa myös antaa tilaa hiljaisuudelle, mikä sopi hyvin suomalaisille luonnon rauhasta nauttiville.
Excellent companion
