Client Reviews

We recently had the chance to go on the Everest Base Camp trek with Halesi Trek with Man Kumar and Prakash.

Man Kumar’s professionalism, responsiveness, humor, and wealth of experience made every step of the journey amazing. Throughout the trek, Man Kumar ensured our safety, and always attentive to our needs and concerns. His guidance enriched our understanding of Nepal and the Tamang culture.

More importantly, we shared many laughs and amazing memories … “Shaka laka boom!”

Prakash, our porter, was a machine. Carrying over 25kg over sketchy terrain, he took care of us with unwavering commitment and made every effort to look after our safety.

One of the highlights of the trek was the opportunity to visit Man Kumar's village, where we were graciously welcomed into his community. Attending a Tamang wedding and staying with Man Kumar's relatives provided us with an authentic glimpse into Nepalese life, and we never felt so welcome!

The trek itself was filled with awe-inspiring sights and unforgettable moments. From the majestic views of the Himalayas to the warmth of the Nepalese hospitality - we felt incredibly lucky to be part of this trip.

Overall, my journey to Everest Base Camp with Man Kumar and Prakash was nothing short of extraordinary. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking an unforgettable trekking experience in the Himalayas.

Thank you, Man Kumar and Prakash, for an adventure of a lifetime!

I can't say enough good things about my trek to Annapurna Base Camp with Halesi Treks! They're not just travel agents they're like your adventure buddies who happen to know all the ins and outs of the trek and the local scene.

From day one, they made me feel right at home with their smiles and enthusiasm. It's clear they love what they do, and that energy rubbed off on everyone in the group. Plus, their experience and knowledge gave me total peace of mind. I knew I was in good hands every step of the way.

Even when snow and fog caught us off guard, the Halesi team fearlessly led us through, ensuring our safety every step of the way. Their expertise and fearlessness made all the difference, turning challenging conditions into memorable moments.

If you're thinking about trekking in Nepal, do yourself a favor and go with Halesi. They'll make sure you have the time of your life while feeling safe and supported. Can't wait for my next adventure with them!

My three friends and I recently embarked on a 9-day hike to Everest Base Camp with Halesi Treks, and our journey was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to the exceptional guidance of our tour leader, Kumar. He proved to be an outstanding team leader, displaying an unwavering commitment to ensuring the well-being and enjoyment of every group member. We utterly enjoyed our time with Halesi and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is interested to do an EBC hike.

We had a fabulous luxury EBC trip with Hales Trek. Man Kumar and his team (
Prakash / Jetha) went above and beyond to make our trip exceptional
with seamless logistics (transportation and lodging). We were touched by his guidance and his humble
kindness. They observed our conditions in regular basis, frequently checked with us to ensure we were okay, and patiently
accompanied/helped everyone along the trek in the challenging
high altitude. They assisted in our flight
arrangement from Kathmandu to Lukhla with a helicopter at the last min. We surely would not have made it without him and his
team's support ! We left Nepal with a positive note and they definitely made our trip
an unforgettable one. Thanks for everything!

Amazing Private Luxury EBC trek with Halesi in December 2023. Man Kumar is our guide and we wouldn't have made it to EBC without him. We worked together with Man Kumar during planning process to make sure we have lodging with electric blankets and hot shower. Man Kumar helped with last-minute logistic changes and is flexible to accommodate us. Definitely recommend!

Best local tour guide in Nepal! My ABC trip with Halesi Treks was amazing. Dai Kumar and his team, Dai Yam, Dai Tek and 2 other porters were really helpful. They organized everything to make us feel safe and comfortable. Book your trip with them for the best experience!

Went with Halesi Treks for the second time and it was even better this time around. The EBC trek experience was seamless as they booked us into the best tea houses with great food and facilities. Man Kumar seems to be extremely resourceful when booking last-minute choppers and changing flight dates. A very personally curated experience that is rare to come by every day.

Special mention to Ras Dhan Rai - the guide assigned to us! What a packet of energy, Oh My God! He is well-experienced and has a great ability to gauge the physical extent of his clients. Would definitely recommend Ras as a guide.

Halesi would be my top choice for all treks in Nepal!

We booked with Halesi Treks a six-day Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek and private transfers from Kathmandu to Pokhara and the return.

Our guide (Tek), our porter (Yam), and the main point of contact (Man Kumar) were all great! We were particularly impressed by how our guide Tek paced our trek ("slowly, slowly" he says) so we ended up taking fewer breaks than we usually do when we hike, which was a pleasant surprise. Tek and Yam also went out of their ways to make us feel comfortable in the tea houses where we stayed the nights; for example, Yam often went ahead of us to find a room so we can just go directly to the room. The apples that Tek brought us for desserts were also nice touches, as the fruits seemed to be limited in the ABC trek. Tek is a bit on the quieter side (so don't expect elaborate story-telling), but that actually matched our personalities and we appreciated the calmness and the meditation-like experience.

Man Kumar, our point of contact in WhatsApp as well as the company owner, were also solid with communications, taking care of our questions before our trip to Nepal. We even met him twice in our stay in Nepal: once in Pokhara and the other time in Kathmandu. In Kathmandu, we even had a meal together, which was much appreciated. We can tell that he genuinely wanted us to feel welcomed and enjoy our times in Nepal.

We are overall very satisfied with the trek and the private transfers provided by Halesi. We would look up Halesi or contact Man Kumar again if we return to Nepal.
