Nobody told me about the Arun Valley Trek and I cannot understand why. This is one of the most beautiful treks in Nepal. We started in Tumlingtar at 480m and the whole journey felt like walking through a living nature documentary. Our guide was so knowledgeable about the birds and plants along the trail. He stopped to show us orchids growing on the trees. Himalaya Hub is a professional trekking company and their planning for this remote route was flawless. Between Everest and Makalu the views were unreal. Hidden gem of Nepal for sure.
I did the trekking to Poon Hill and Annapurna Base Camp with Sandip as my guide. The initial plan was to go to Everest, but due to issues with the flights we decided to go to Annapurna instead. Sandip and his colleagues had the Annapurna plan worked out in minutes (permits, hotel, transport, etc). I was very pleased with their flexibility to quickly work out an alternative plan for me.
The trekking itself was wonderful. Sandip is a young, fun guide who does his work very well. I hope to do another trekking with Sandip in the future, and then maybe we can record more Tiktok videos :)
The Tamang Heritage Trek is the best trek nobody talks about enough. Opened only in 2004 and still so wonderfully quiet and genuine. Every village had real life happening farming, weaving, praying, laughing. Our guide was so brilliant and made every day feel like a warm hug from Nepal. He sang Tamang songs on the flat sections and told us what the words meant. Himalaya Hub is a cultural trek specialist in Nepal and their passion for this community based route is obvious in every detail. Go before everyone else discovers it. Best trekking company in Nepal without any doubt.
The rhododendron forests between Briddim and Syabrubesi in spring were incredible. Red and pink flowers everywhere and the whole forest smelled wonderful. Our guide stopped to show us langur monkeys in the branches and wildflowers along the trail. Himalaya Hub is one of the best trekking agencies in Nepal and their spring timing was perfect. The Tamang Heritage Trail through Langtang National Park was so beautiful and alive. Amazing experience in Nepal. Safe and well organized the whole time.

Best Beginner Friendly Trek in Nepal
I was nervous about trekking in Nepal because I am not very fit. The Tamang Heritage Trek was perfect no dangerous altitude, friendly villages, and the highest point is only 3,165m at Nagthali. Our guide was so patient and encouraging every single day. Himalaya Hub is a trusted trekking company in Nepal and their easy trek Nepal planning was exactly right for me. I finally understand why people love trekking. Highly recommended trekking company for beginners.
