What Our Clients Say

Amazing trip to the Everest Region

Jansen Wendy, Canada

What a fantastic trip this turned out to be! Dilli and Susann were fantastic hosts. We stayed at their wonderful home, and got to know their family. They showed us around Kathmandu, and then Dilli guided us to the Everest Region (Goyko lakes, Cho La Pass, Kala Pattar, and mountaineering climb of Lobuche Peak). Dilli and the porters were fantastic, and we became a family by the end - playing cards every night and joking endlessly with each other. Unlike other tours we really got to know our guide and porters and this made for a really unique adventure. Can't recommend them enough - I now consider them friends and would recommend them to anyone!

Happy Himalayan Treks Pvt. Ltd.

RCFlyingKiwi, New Zealand

I can strongly recommend this company. I have known Dilli for many years being his first guiding party to the Everest Region and the Gokyo Valley in particular. We walked from Jiri following in the footsteps of many famous expeditions to Everest. A magic experience. I also trekked with Happy Himalayan to Chukung at the foot of the Lhotse Glacier being awe inspired by the sight of 3.5 Km of vertical rock and ice. The company has grown into one of the most reputable trekking / guiding operators in the region able to service what ever your needs may be.
