Feb 2017 • FriendsThis is my third time to use Himalayan Abode Travels service and same as used to be … Nabin took care of us very well with every details.
I went to ABC a week ago with my guide Mr Bhuban Phuyal who is professional, informative about culture and detail-minded for everything! He normally would stay at the back but when he knew something difference, he would walk faster and in front of us to make sure we can deal with it. He would help to check my room once again when we left the guesthouse to make sure we would not miss anything! Almost every nights, we got our own fruit plate that made others jealous! How sweet & touching!
My porter Mr Sabin Tamang, he is shy but helpful person! He packed our big backpack very well with his own backpacker covered on top to ensure they would not get wet! He walked faster at the end and dropped the backpack, came back to help us to carry our own to let our trekker more easily during last two days nearly to top.
I really have to say thank you to both Mr Bhuban Phuyal & Mr Sabin Tamang and without them, I couldn’t able to finish ABC!
Definitely, I will return to Nepal for trekking once again in future and will choose to use service from Himalayan Abode Travels and Tours Treks and Expeditions!

Nov 2016 • SoloLast 16th Nov I start an amasing adventure that I will remember for my whole life.
I choosed a 8 days trekking to the Annapurna Base Camp. The agency proposed me the itinerary and arranged everything in few days, so when I arrived in Kathmandu I just relaxed sure that everything was ready!
During the trek everything was fantastic! My guide Sadhuram was very prepared and with a great knowledge of mountain. I spent unforgivable days visiting mountain villages, wonderful lanscapes and very good accomodations for the night. I felt safe and sure with my guide always ready to help and support me.
I want suggest this agency to those who want to had an amasing trekking experience in Nepal

Feb 2018 • Solo首次一人旅行尼泊爾，委請旅行社協助，提供妥善的規劃，到達加德滿都之後，從接駁到行程解釋、塔美爾簡單路線介紹都非常詳細細心，是愉快又安心的旅行！
Trekking安排的嚮導是Balaram，對於當地歷史文化、生態都瞭解並解說，讓走路之外與尼泊爾多了連結，吃住也都很好，一個女生的安全疑慮全放下了，很難得很滿意。
謝謝用心！
We had a private trekking and sightseeing tour, with fantastic local guides.:) Everything was adapted to our individual requests.
Nov 2013 • CouplesAn excellent travel agency. Even found me a room to rest for half a day when I fell ill and had to cut short my KTM sightseeing on the last day of my trip. The guide they assigned to our ABC trek was extremely knowledgeable of the route and took very good care of us. Highly recommended!Review from
