Magical Annapurnas
A great trip! Heaven Himalaya were exceptionally helpful and went out of their way to make the arrangements for our trip. I would definitely recommend their services.
Great adventure!
Heaven Himalaya did a great job making the EBC Trek a success. We were easily in contact with the owner Ram before the trek. He answered all of our questions so we arrived well prepared. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, at our request, he quickly set up a city tour. He also converted our USD into local currency.
During the trek, our guide Bisal worked tirelessly to anticipate our needs. He explained each day's itinerary, checked on how we were feeling, took care of all of our meals and water needs. He coordinated the assistant guide and porters with ease. He was always phoning ahead to get us the best possible reservation for our rate.
Net net the team did everything in their power to help us.
That said, if I were to give advice to other travelers, I would have them investigate the more upgraded accommodation package. This is a challenging trek and perhaps slightly more refined lodging would make it just a bit easier.
10/10 experience from start to finish. Recommend them with every fiber of my being
I did an EBC trek with Heaven Himalaya and the experience was amazing from initial point of contact all the way until the end. The lead time for my trip was only 1.5 months but Ram made sure to answer all my questions and equipped me with all the information that I needed even before I have committed to doing the trip.
They were able to customize my trip to all my likings including, adding extra days in Kathmandu for city tours, adding buffer days in case of bad weather, and taking a last minute helicopter trip back to Kathmandu after reaching base camp. I can't recommend the professionalism of Ram and team enough and would 100% do my future trips in Nepal with them in a heartbeat.
Special shout-out to the most amazing guide Bishal and porter Krishna for their unbelievable service, professionalism and expertise. They took care of me from t-1 in letting me know what to expect and proactively offered to carry my pack whenever they saw me struggling. Without a doubt I wouldn't have done this trip without their support and their encouragement and I can't thank them enough.

My husband has succeed to Lobuche Summit
Thank you Himalaya heaven, a highly qualified travel agency of organizing casual trip as well as technical mountain climbing. Everything you imagine could be discussed easily, flexibly adjust the content and customized to be very private schedule.
The most important thing is that every stuff of Himalaya Heaven is reliable and responsible.
My husband has been to Island peak and Kathmandu in 2019, he has been missing to come back because of the great experience and well service! (Ram was in charge of that trip) So this time, our honeymoon as well as my first summit challenge, he chose the company which is established by Ram and his sibling without any hesitation.
In the journey, we’re feeling great everyday. First of all, we want to thank the guide-Ganesh, well introduced of Sagarmatha area and taking good care of us everyday.
Secondly, the porter-Hark and Kumar, really responsible for their duty, even came for carrying our personal backpack last 30 minutes to destination in order to make us more easier and comfortable.
Thirdly, The Sherpa-Pasang and Fura; with their high technique and well experienced, we’re safe, happy and fulfill our ideal goal!
It make me want to keep challenge!
Last, we certainly know Ram runs Himalaya Heaven incredibly good, I still want to mention that he cares about every detail so seriously! In Japanese, it’s “おもてなし”!
Looking forward to the next trip by Heaven Himalaya!!!
Great EBC experience of a lifetime
I've just completed a solo trek to EBC with Heaven Himalaya. The services rendered by this company is reliable, trustworthy, and top notch. Ramhari who is the director was my first point of contact. His responses to all my queries were answered promptly and with attention to detail. Ramhari also personally met me at the Kathmandu airport and introduced me to the guide, Dipak. Next, was the trek and Dipak provided all the necessary advice and pace to ensure safety. His patience and readiness helped me enjoy and appreciate the journey to EBC with picture perfect sceneries at every turn of the trek. Interestingly, I took 2500 pics altogether, with Dipak helping to take all of my personal pictures. So, a great guide cum photographer! Also, many thanks to the porter, Dal who took the burden off my shoulders. So, in summary, a great trekking experience of a lifetime and personal accomplishment for me through the reliable and well coordinated efforts of Heaven Himalaya. Thanks!
Professional trekking agency who take this personal and serious
I’ve had a good experience with this company in preparation for and during the combined Tamang and Langtang trek. From the beginning they stood out from the others in their professional and personal communication via email. Meeting them face to face confirmed my good first impression. They have plenty of experience, are fully certified and made time for seeing me and answering my questions, which built confidence in them. They are a bit higher priced than other companies. However they also offer the “guide only” option which reduces the costs. Nirajan, was a good and experienced guide, who cared well for me in general, also helping out with organizing accommodations and carrying a couple of my items. His English was sufficient, however there’s room for improvement. Even though I didn’t go for the all-inclusive package option, I did have a care free and also thanks to that an amazing experience on my first ever trek in Nepal.
A great experience with Heaven Himalaya in Nepal. Highly recommend!!!
I had a great experience with Heaven Himalaya doing the Manaslu circuit trek. They helped me to organize all the details of the trip, from the moment I arrived in Kathmandu to the end of the trip, and they did everything with a great level of professionalism and good service. I really recommend them to have a good trip in Nepal.
EBC, Chola Pass & Gokyo Lakes– Trek of a lifetime!
Heaven Himalaya made my trek to EBC, Chola Pass & Gokyo successful, safe, and incredibly memorable. This was my second visit to Kathmandu and the trails around Mt Everest. On my first visit, I went with a large group. But, the logistics of a group of 15 or more hikers made some of the highlights unsatisfying. I mean, who wants to climb to Kala Patthar in pre-dawn darkness to watch the sunrise in the freezing cold, then rush down to eat breakfast and depart with the group? This time, I wanted more flexibility in the plan, a good price, and to fit it into the time I could spend away from work. Heaven Himalaya did all of those things perfectly. It's pretty obvious why Heaven Himalaya is rising in the competitive market of trekking companies in Nepal. Ram, who runs the company, promptly answered all of my questions before and during the visit. Seriously, I don't know when he sleeps because he is really driven to make the trekker's experience top quality. My guide, Bikash, and porter, Harka, were amazing. The stayed on top of weather conditions, so there were days when we stayed longer to enjoy more sights and other days when we hiked a little farther so that the next tea house would have a better view or better location for enjoying the highlights of the trek. They found the best rooms possible and were flexible about food options so I could figure out what foods worked best for me. That kind of knowledge and motivation are what a trekker needs to get the best experience on the trails to EBC, Chola & Gokyo. And, if it's views of Mt Everest that you crave, they know every place where you can see the peak.
I'm sure this must seem like a sales pitch, but if something is this good, others need to know about it.
In my personal experience: Take altitude seriously and use a medication recommended by a knowledgeable doctor. Wear a wind-resistant wide brim sun hat. Use plenty of sun block. Start hiking early each day 6:30-7am and be flexible by allowing an extra day in front of and end of the trek. If you're hiking to EBC and Gokyo, start with EBC, then cross Cho La Pass on the way to Gokyo. Wear a bandanna for dust while hiking. In the common room at tea houses, seriously consider wearing N95 face mask to avoid getting the cruddy "Khumbu cough." For food, consider American breakfast-- toast, egg, potatoes & hot cocoa. Lunch with rara (ramen) noodle soup & water: re-hydrate. Supper carb load. Each evening, Bikash and Harka prepared apple slices and pomegranate-- so yummy and refreshing!
I would highly recommend Heaven Himalaya for your trek of a lifetime.
Langtang Valley Trek
It’s my 3rd time trekking with Heaven Himalaya! The fact that my hiking buddies and I keep returning speaks volumes about the excellent service and professionalism that they provided.
Although Langtang Valley may not be as well-known as EBC and ABC, its views are absolutely breathtaking. While it is unfortunate that the village suffered significant damage during the last earthquake, we are pleased to see that the area is slowly recovering. I would highly recommend Langtang Valley for anyone who wants a less crowded trekking experience and the chance to immerse themselves in the local culture.
Once again, I'd like to express my gratitude to Ram and his team at Heaven Himalaya. We always know that we're in good hands when we book our trips with them. Thank you, Ram and Ganesh, our guide, for providing such outstanding service.
