My wife and I have just returned from the most memorable journey of our lives: eight days trekking to Poon Hill and Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) in Nepal, from 18 to 25 October 2026. At 65, I had dreamed of standing among the Himalayan giants. Thanks to Halesi Treks, that dream became a beautiful reality.

From the first message to the last goodbye, director Man Kumar Tamang was kind, patient, responsive and completely reliable. He coordinated our domestic flights, hotels, jeep transfers, trekking arrangements and Kathmandu sightseeing. The entire package was very good value, with clear arrangements and no unpleasant surprises. He even arranged an additional sightseeing day in Kathmandu without an extra charge.

Our guide, Prakash Tamang, was exceptional. He watched our pace, encouraged us and made sure we were comfortable throughout the trek. His favorite words were "Slowly, slowly - bistari, bistari!" He understood that a successful Himalayan trek is not a race. For two older trekkers, his calm judgment, thoughtfulness and warm personality made all the difference.

Our porter, Tshiring Sherpa, was equally wonderful. He carried the heavy gear with amazing strength and still found the energy to lift everyone's spirits. He often played Nepalese music, especially the beloved "Resham Firiri," on his little speaker as we walked. We learned to sing and dance, and before long we were dancing with local people and trekkers from other countries. Those shared laughs are some of the happiest memories of our trip. One morning in Chhomrong, we even joined a Dashain celebration with flowers, rice and music - a special encounter with Nepalese hospitality.

The scenery was extraordinary. We watched glorious sunrises at Poon Hill, Tadapani and Chhomrong and then, at last, from ABC itself. We were incredibly fortunate to have clear, beautiful weather throughout our eight trekking days. The mountains appeared to glow at dawn and dusk. This good weather was a gift of nature, while Halesi's experienced team ensured that the trek itself ran smoothly.

Our actual route was Ghorepani, Poon Hill, Tadapani, Chhomrong, Bamboo, Deurali and then Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC). We stopped at MBC for lunch on 23 October, continued to Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130 metres and slept at ABC that night. On 24 October, we enjoyed sunrise at ABC before descending to Bamboo. On 25 October, we returned via Chhomrong and Jhinu Danda, then took a jeep back to Pokhara. Reaching ABC together and sharing that moment with Prakash and Tshiring will stay with us forever.

After the trek, Man Kumar personally arranged a farewell dinner at a traditional Nepalese restaurant in Kathmandu on 26 October. We enjoyed live music and dancing, and I even joined the performers for "Resham Firiri"! It was a wonderful way to say goodbye to new friends.

We are deeply grateful to Man Kumar, Prakash and Tshiring for their professionalism, honesty, generosity and genuine care. We wholeheartedly recommend Halesi Treks to anyone planning an Annapurna adventure - including fellow travelers from Korea and older hikers who appreciate a patient, personal approach. Thank you for giving us not just a trek, but friendships and memories for a lifetime.

I went to the Annapurna Base Camp in September 2026 with our tour leader, Kumar Dai. It was my first hike in Nepal. The landscape of Annapurna was beautiful; the porters were very strong, the culture was a completely new experience for me, and the people living in the mountains were incredibly nice. Kumar Dai and the porters took great care of everyone. I had an unforgettable journey with them. As a tour leader, Kumar was informative, funny, professional, and always looked out for us.

Just finished my EBC trek with Nabin Dai. Really happy I had him as my guide.

He was super patient, easy to talk to, and always checked our condition, especially when we got higher. Never felt rushed, and after a few days it honestly felt more like trekking with a friend than with a guide.

Also a big shoutout to Lakhman and Anil, our porters. Super friendly guys and always helpful along the way. Really appreciate them throughout the whole trek.

Thank you, Nabin Dai, Lakhman, Anil, and Halesi Treks. Really appreciate the whole journey🤘🏽🤘🏽

My first trekking experience in Nepal with Halesi Treks was truly smooth and memorable. From the journey from Kathmandu to Pokhara by Hiace, and continuing from Pokhara to Jhinu Jeep Station, everything was perfectly on time and well organized.

What impressed us the most was the constant attention and thoughtful reminders throughout the trek — from meal times, early morning preparations, reminding us to repack quickly, have breakfast, warm up, and start trekking on schedule every day. Small reminders like “prepare your raincoat” or “walk slowly and steadily” helped us stay disciplined and not get too carried away with resting or taking photos. Their time management was excellent.

The friendliness of the porters was also beyond expectations. Meeting us on the trail while we were struggling to breathe, encouraging us from behind, and sometimes walking beside us when we were close to giving up — those moments meant a lot to us.

Special thanks to Kumar Dai, Halonepal Indonesia, and the entire team at Halesi Treks who supported us during our Annapurna Base Camp trek on May 2-9,2026. Thank you for making this journey safe, enjoyable, and unforgettable.

Best regards,

This is my second trek in Nepal and second time with Halesi Treks Pvt. Ltd. My first trip was the ACT with friends, where owner Tamang Man Kumar hooked us up with top-notch guides and porters. As a solo traveler this time, I needed a trustworthy agency to handle it all. February's chill made me skip high altitudes for something comfy and low-key, so I picked Pikey Peak at 4,065 meters. The trail in February is beginner-easy—no big climbs or drops, moderate height, great for anyone. Summit views wrapped in snow peaks, with Mt. Everest stealing the show, were unforgettable. Tamang Man Kumar paired me with guide-porter Prakash, who was super attentive, empathetic, and always one step ahead, turning the trip into pure fun. I'll stick with Halesi Treks Pvt. Ltd. for my next Nepal trek—no doubt.

Great experience, truly a great trips for us a couple. Great services, great guys. The guide (Man Kumar) even managed to found our lost phone in the near ABC helipad. 10/10 I'd recommend you guys who have never been to Nepal to use these guys' services.

The Annapurna Circuit is a strenuous but unforgettable journey. This very long trek features truly outstanding scenery and constant views of the magnificent mountains of the Annapurna region.

​Our experience was made exceptional by Halesi Treks and our guide, Mr. Kumar Tamang, and his team. They were highly professional, ensuring we felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the entire demanding trip.

​I highly recommend Halesi Treks for an expertly guided, memorable adventure on the Annapurna Circuit.
