My son Nick and I spent 7 days trekking with Raj. He is very knowledgeable about the mountains and local culture. I had a tendency to try to go too hard and fast and wear myself out. Raj was a tremendous help for me by walking in front of me and slowing my pace even though I could tell it an awkwardly slow pace for him. Raj also helped us when we had to make changes to our flights and helped us tour the city. We had an once-in-a-lifetime incredible experience in Nepal!
I believe we do not remember every trips we do in our life but this was made an unforgettable trip very well organized by Raj and Team Himalaya team. Our guide Ramesh was very knowledgeable and was patient with our slow hiking pace. The porters worked hard to ensure our gear was promptly waiting for us at our next stop. What we noticed were Team Himalaya Company clients who have been coming back to Nepal for years and booking with the company. Its realy a worth value for money journey. We enjoy very nice scenery, although with cool weather. What a fantastic trip - and highly recommend the company to facilitate a similar experience for others. It's a great and memorable experience. I would certainly recommend their service to my friends and family who wish to visit Nepal in future. Thank you Raj, Ramesh and Team Himalaya.
I can't believe I trekked through the most popular trekking trail in the world, to the largest and most famous monastery in the entire Khumbu region of Nepal. We had memories that will always remain close to our hearts. Comfortable night stays and lovely food all over and undoubtedly Kamal, is the most charming, and funny guy ever. The flight to Lukla got delayed for few hours but we flew the same day. Namche Bazaar and Gokyo Valley were the best resting grounds. Thank you Team Himalaya, Raj, and Entire team.
Raj and his team Gave me the experience
Of a lifetime. Great value for money and an exceptional knowledge of all things trekking, the Solokhumbu area and even the birds and animals in the region. Cannot recommend highly enough
The experience Everest Base Camp with Team Himalaya was amazing, very well organised, tough but enjoyable. All the staff were so helpful. I would like to say a big thank you to Raj and his team for doing a great job. Our guides were more than amazing and really made the trip for us helping us every step of the way and guiding us through the paths. It was an adventure of a lifetime. Would definitely recommend this trek and company and team!
My boyfriend and I elected to hike up to the Everest Base Camp with Raj and Team Himalaya and boy, they did not disappoint! I was extremely impressed with Raj's professionalism, his studied attention and care for clients, and his knowledge of his country and heritage. The trip was extremely well organized and planned, and Raj took pride in showing Nepal's most beautiful sights! Team Himalaya's trip prices are extremely fair (as compared to other companies) too. All in all, it truly was an unforgettable trip (top 5 ever... and I should know: I got engaged on the Everest Base Camp!) and well worth every penny.
My friend and I had Raj as a guide through another company and he did an excellent job on our Everest Base Camp Trek in the fall of 2014. Guaranteed Raj is doing great things with Team Himalaya! I definitely recommend using them.
I had the pleasure of hiking up to Everest Base camp with Shyam in 2010 along with two of my closest friends. It was a daunting expedition for a novice such as myself at the time, but from the moment we met him we felt at ease. Shyam is friendly & warm, highly skilled and has a wealth of knowledge about the region. Our hike was challenging but Shyam was with us all the way and even when we got sick, he was exceptionally kind and supportive. During our downtime, Shyam was a pleasure to chat with and always had an interesting tidbits of facts to share with us about our trek and the surrounding region.
Shyam had also hired two excellent porters whom he treated very well. He has excellent work ethic, communication skills and leadership qualities and I wish him & Team Himalaya the best.
In 2010, my friends and I decided to hike to Everest Base Camp. At the time we booked through another company that Shyam was a guide for (the name of the other company escapes me). We had not traveled to Nepal before and were unsure what to expect. Shyam ended up being our guide on the trek and he made that trip as memorable as it was. He went out of his way to make our trip enjoyable. He was knowledgeable about local geography and customs and was more than happy to teach. On the first day of our trek I celebrated my 23rd birthday and Shyam liased with the guesthouse to bake an amazing chocolate cake that we all shared! It's little things like this that made the trip what it was. Everyone will get to their trekking destination regardless of the company they use but not everyone has Shyam as a guide. Now I learn he has a new company and I could not be happier. I know for certain he will instil that same work ethic into his team. Highly recommend this company and the great people behind it.
My husband and I had the pleasure of trekking to base camp with Team Himalaya. It was an incredible trip made possible by the Sherpas and our guide. We were expertly guided to ensure our health and safety was a priority. From a customer service view point, we were so humbled by their kindness and "can do attitude". They even arranged a birthday cake for my husbands birthday :) We highly recommend using this company if you are trekking in Nepal!
I did the Everest trek with Team Himalaya. It was one of the most amazing trips of my life. Incredible scenery, authentic Buddhist/Hindu culture and the highest Mountains in the world. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Nepal. My guide Rajendra was very professional and made sure I had an unforgettable journey. NAMASTE!
I visited with a friend and we trekked EBC and toured Kathamandu. We had an amazing time and were able to experience the Nepali culture first-hand. We always felt safe in both the city and mountains with our guide Raj and highly recommend touring with Team Himalaya!
Shyam sittaula was our guide in EBC trek when he worked for another company.
If it wasn't for Shyam , our 13 years old would be in mortal danger as she had suffered badly from the altitude disease . Only because Shyam reacted quickly and did everything possible to evacuate her to a lower altitude village (while helicopters could not come because of the bad weather) she is alive.
The guide you can trust to make the right decision in critical situation.
We visited in 2013.

My son Nick and I spent 7 days trekking with Raj. He is very knowledgeable about the mountains and local culture. I had a tendency to try to go too hard and fast and wear myself out. Raj was a tremendous help for me by walking in front of me and slowing my pace even though I could tell it an awkwardly slow pace for him. Raj also helped us when we had to make changes to our flights and helped us tour the city. We had an once-in-a-lifetime incredible experience in Nepal!

Our guide Ramesh was very knowledgeable and was patient with our slow hiking pace. The porters worked hard to ensure our gear was promptly waiting for us at our next stop. What we noticed were Team Himalaya Company clients who have been coming back to Nepal for years and booking with the company. Its realy a worth value for money journey. We enjoy very nice scenery, although with cool weather. What a fantastic trip - and highly recommend the company to facilitate a similar experience for others. It's a great and memorable experience. I would certainly recommend their service to my friends and family who wish to visit Nepal in future. Thank you Raj, Ramesh and Team Himalaya.
Everest Base Camp Trek Nepal
19th Aug, 2019
I can't believe I trekked through the most popular trekking trail in the world, to the largest and most famous monastery in the entire Khumbu region of Nepal. We had memories that will always remain close to our hearts. Comfortable night stays and lovely food all over and undoubtedly Kamal, is the most charming, and funny guy ever. The flight to Lukla got delayed for few hours but we flew the same day. Namche Bazaar and Gokyo Valley were the best resting grounds. Thank you Team Himalaya, Raj, and Entire team.
Raj and his team Gave me the experience
Of a lifetime. Great value for money and an exceptional knowledge of all things trekking, the Solokhumbu area and even the birds and animals in the region. Cannot recommend highly enough

The experience Everest Base Camp with Team Himalaya was amazing, very well organised, tough but enjoyable. All the staff were so helpful. I would like to say a big thank you to Raj and his team for doing a great job. Our guides were more than amazing and really made the trip for us helping us every step of the way and guiding us through the paths. It was an adventure of a lifetime. Would definitely recommend this trek and company and team!
Everest Trek - a truly unforgettable adventure!

My boyfriend and I elected to hike up to the Everest Base Camp with Raj and Team Himalaya and boy, they did not disappoint! I was extremely impressed with Raj's professionalism, his studied attention and care for clients, and his knowledge of his country and heritage. The trip was extremely well organized and planned, and Raj took pride in showing Nepal's most beautiful sights! Team Himalaya's trip prices are extremely fair (as compared to other companies) too. All in all, it truly was an unforgettable trip (top 5 ever... and I should know: I got engaged on the Everest Base Camp!) and well worth every penny.
Probably the best trip/tour company I've ever traveled with!

My friend and I had Raj as a guide through another company and he did an excellent job on our Everest Base Camp Trek in the fall of 2014. Guaranteed Raj is doing great things with Team Himalaya! I definitely recommend using them.
Awesome Mount Everest Base Camp Trek!

I had the pleasure of hiking up to Everest Base camp with Shyam in 2010 along with two of my closest friends. It was a daunting expedition for a novice such as myself at the time, but from the moment we met him we felt at ease. Shyam is friendly & warm, highly skilled and has a wealth of knowledge about the region. Our hike was challenging but Shyam was with us all the way and even when we got sick, he was exceptionally kind and supportive. During our downtime, Shyam was a pleasure to chat with and always had an interesting tidbits of facts to share with us about our trek and the surrounding region.
Shyam had also hired two excellent porters whom he treated very well. He has excellent work ethic, communication skills and leadership qualities and I wish him & Team Himalaya the best.
In 2010, my friends and I decided to hike to Everest Base Camp. At the time we booked through another company that Shyam was a guide for (the name of the other company escapes me). We had not traveled to Nepal before and were unsure what to expect. Shyam ended up being our guide on the trek and he made that trip as memorable as it was. He went out of his way to make our trip enjoyable. He was knowledgeable about local geography and customs and was more than happy to teach. On the first day of our trek I celebrated my 23rd birthday and Shyam liased with the guesthouse to bake an amazing chocolate cake that we all shared! It's little things like this that made the trip what it was. Everyone will get to their trekking destination regardless of the company they use but not everyone has Shyam as a guide. Now I learn he has a new company and I could not be happier. I know for certain he will instil that same work ethic into his team. Highly recommend this company and the great people behind it.
Excellent guide and company

My husband and I had the pleasure of trekking to base camp with Team Himalaya. It was an incredible trip made possible by the Sherpas and our guide. We were expertly guided to ensure our health and safety was a priority. From a customer service view point, we were so humbled by their kindness and "can do attitude". They even arranged a birthday cake for my husbands birthday :) We highly recommend using this company if you are trekking in Nepal!
I did the Everest trek with Team Himalaya. It was one of the most amazing trips of my life. Incredible scenery, authentic Buddhist/Hindu culture and the highest Mountains in the world. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Nepal. My guide Rajendra was very professional and made sure I had an unforgettable journey. NAMASTE!
Amazing Everest trek

Shyam sittaula was our guide in EBC trek when he worked for another company.
If it wasn't for Shyam , our 13 years old would be in mortal danger as she had suffered badly from the altitude disease . Only because Shyam reacted quickly and did everything possible to evacuate her to a lower altitude village (while helicopters could not come because of the bad weather) she is alive.
The guide you can trust to make the right decision in critical situation.
We visited in 2013.

Everest Base Camp Sightseeing tour was just unimaginable, what an adventure hard to express the memories. The good time spent around Everest passed so quickly, hope to come back again for the next wonderful adventure and join with Team Himalaya again. I had heard of Everest Helicopter flights in Nepal, but due to my short holiday. But Team Himalaya offered this grand adventure Everest Base Camp Sightseeing Tour. Oh, what a great memorable time I experienced, loved every moment around Nepal and on Everest base camp sightseeing tour.
I would surely recommend to all my family and friends to join on the marvelous tour.

It was a great trip from the start to the end of our exciting holidays in Nepal. We would like to recommend Team Himalaya for adventure holidays in Nepal, as we had an enjoyable and good time. Everest Base Camp trek not to be missed while visiting Nepal, the guide was expert with full of information to offer.
The flight to Lukla was an amazing experience, overlooking unparralled views of Himalayan peaks. The walk from Lukla was pleasant and scenic all the way to Everest Base Camp trek . The only hardest time we had was climb on top of Kalapathar Hill, but glad we made it. Facing mind-blowing views of Mt. Everest with an array of giant peaks. It was just wonderful, I will be back to Nepal for more adventure with Team Himalaya.
