We (group of three) met Prakash at the airport via a referral from his friend at the pre paid taxi counter. Usually I don't like or accept this tactic, but I'm glad we made an exception on this occasion. Prakash travelled with us in our taxi to our hotel and we chatted about our trekking plans. Prakash was extremely polite and informative, and is very proud of Himalaya Hub. The next morning we met Prakash at his office, discussed our options and prices and booked the ABC trek for 11 days (including Poon Hill). Our guide was Nirmal (Babu!) and he was fantastic. All we had to do each day was pack our bags and walk. Nirmal looked after our accommodation, our permits, he took our food orders, he was our waiter, he refilled our water bottles, he sought extra blankets (I'm a soft touch in the cold), he was our photographer/videographer and he is a great dancer, singer and riddle master.* As for the trek itself, it is all at your own pace. That said, be prepared for a tough but rewarding slog to ABC and back. We are all fit by Australian standards, however add a 12kg pack, mountains, stairs (so many stairs...) and a little altitude to the mix and your body doesn't know what's hit it. The good news is that you adjust well after a few days, and calf soreness becomes a natural state. Our longest day of walking was 7 hours (including an hour lunch break), on average we did 5 hours a day. I do not recommended this trek for anyone with dodgy knees. TIP: take extra cash for snacks, treats and entry fees (eg Poon Hill and the Jindhu Hot Springs) *not actually a good singer

Our trekking to the Annapurna Base Camp was an amazing experience, and our guide Kumar made it even better. He had everything settled for us, so we could focus in walking and enjoying the beautiful sights. Accommodation, permits, he took our food orders and brought our food in the guesthouses, he made sure our water bottles were always full and that we had enough blankets at night, he even helped us carry one of our bags and taught us a nepalese to trekking song. He was also very knowledgable about the area and explained the route we took every day preparing us for the daily challenge. We will definitely return and trek with him again, next time Everest Base Camp.

Started off suspicious as the boss Prakash looped us into a deal almost instantly from the airport, everything was too easy but I am happy to say that that was the beginning of one of the best treks of my life. The staff at the office were very helpful and organised everything for us, but our guide Ramkumar Bhatta was really where the magic started. He was an understanding and kind guide who made everything smooth and easy for me even though I was sick for most of the journey. We had a great overall time and passing Thorong la pass was definitely a highlight for us since it was uncertain with my health whether that was possible. Ramkumar was a very good guide who made us laugh with his quirks. He had an expert morning door knock service. Even after the trek he gave us the best possible advice and booked everything for us to get back to Kathmandu. Overall a very good trek!!

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with Himalaya Hub. My friend and I planned our trip to Nepal and originally thought about doing the Annapurna Circuit by ourselves. After meeting and speaking with Prakash, who was extremely kind and patient, we decided to use a guide. Prakash gave us a ton of information and options for our trek. He was incredibly understanding and patient as we made our plan on a tighter budget. Our time spent trekking was absolutely amazing! Our guide, Ananta, quickly gained our trust and made us feel so well taken care of. Ananta has had tons of experience trekking and he was always there to answer our questions. Throughout our trek, Ananta was encouraging and supportive. Overall, Ananta was an amazing guide and we enjoyed lots of laughs along the way. I highly recommend using a guide on your trek - and If possible, call Ananta! My time spent in Nepal would not have been the same without the help and guidance from everyone at Himalaya Hub. I strongly recommend them for any and all adventures you plan in Nepal! Can’t wait to come back ASAP!!!

The trek was so much fun thanks to Himalaya Hub and in particular our good friend and guide in the mountains, Ramkumar. From the get-go we felt right at home, receiving not one but two FREE Masala Teas from Prakash and his cronies at Himalaya Hub. Within 15 minutes of entering the office, the deal was sorted and we were on our merry way. The trek itself was amazing, and our guide Ram knew all the best shortcuts to save us the time and muscle soreness, and was able to offer great advice when we started to feel under the weather. Overall we had a fun time and will most likely return again to do the EBC trek.
