Reviews
Had the most incredible experience with Sadu the guide , kindly organised by Nabin. We took the bus to Changunarayan Temple which was nice to experience some real Nepal and then from there trekked to Nargakot and stayed overnight. We woke up to watch the sunrise over the Himalayas and were even lucky enough to see Everest in the distance. The value for money is excellent and the hotel Nabin reserved was very good and gave excellent views. Sadu was the best guide. I was rather unwell at the beginning of the trek but he advised me on what to eat and we took frequent breaks to allow me to rest. He was very knowledgeable about the region and excellent company. Would 100% recommend

Dec 2023 • CouplesHimalayan Abode did so much to make our trip special. After using their services for the sunrise and day hike, we came back and asked for the city tour as well because we liked them so much. All the staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. If you want to better understand Nepali history, people and culture, we highly recommend them!
I booked one-day hike in Nagarkot, 2 hours drive from Kathmandu. An easy but picturesque path on which you can enjoy both nature and local culture. My guide Nabin was very communicative, he knows his job very well and is a great companion. The weather was not perfect – cloudy and a bit rainy – but it did not spoil my trip. When it started to rain we found shelter in very nice Shiv Temple where local community gathered to socialize and play some devotional music together. A very beautiful experience. Also the lunch on the way was very hearty and tasty. On our way back we visited an ancient town of Bhaktapur – also a place worth going too. All the way Nabin was very helpful and flexible. I recommend Himalayan Abode Travels and this hike very much!

Jul 2016 • CouplesI had a plan to travel to Napal in July.
Because of the rainy season,I booked the Himalayan abode in May, hoping they can arrange our travel progrem(including four days hiking to Poonhill).
They replied all questions about traveling as soon as possible by email.
When we arrived KTM, the boss:Nabin and the driver picked up us personally from airport.
During the 12 days, anywhere we are,Nabin always keep in touch by mobile phone.
We took their private car to go sightseeing in KTM , Pokhara,Nagarkot. The driver:Shreelal is a professional driver, even if the road is so mud and rugged ,he could drive through safety.
When we went hiking ,the guide：Shadev and porter were kindly and professional,too.
Himalayan abode could solve all problems when we traveling,and their services are good.Review from
