Undoubtedly, my trips provide safe and flexible opportunities for trekkers who are willing be a part of our trekking program.

      Verified Highly recommeded!!
Ram guided my first trekking expedition with a friend to Nepal on the Ghorepani-Poon Hill Trek for 5 days.  He organized everything and was highly professional, friendly, courteous, and very attentive to our needs.  He was always nearby to answer questions but also sensed when it was time to give space to enjoy the solitude and spectacular views. My friend had used Ram previously and I understand why!

    Verified Great Experience on the Mardi Himal Trek!
My wife and I spent 4 days with Ram and Kamal on the Mardi Himal Trek.  Ram was an outstanding guide and organized everything - flights, hotels, tea houses - everything.  The best part about Ram was he listened to our needs.  We requested a quiet hike and Ram gave us the space we wanted to enjoy nature and peace and quiet.  He even adjusted our Pokhara hotel when he found out there was a large group there.  Ram is thoughtful, caring and hardworking.  I would trek with him and Kamal again for sure.

    Verified Langtang Valley at its finest!
Ram took us into the Langtang Valley and it was a trip of a lifetime. Ram was resourceful, patient, and kind. He was a fantastic leader and troubleshooter.

Ram guided a friend and I on the Pikey (Peakey) Peak trek in January. His communication leading up to the trip was regular and timely, as he worked to organize the best trek for us. Once we arrived in Kathmandu, he was very helpful in preparing us with gear. On the trip, everything was organized smoothly. His calm and flexible nature were especially great when we ran into some altitude adjustment issues. I highly recommend a trek with Ram and his team!

    Verified Stunning Peakey ( Pike) Trek, with Himalayan Friendly
My daughter and I enjoyed a fabulous trek with Ram and Durbar. It was relaxed, with  food, accommodation and transport perfectly organised for us. Ram was attentive towards our needs, and allowed us the freedom and flexibility ( within reason!) to set the pace or divert the route to places of further interest. He and Durbar were very good company, humble, obliging and setting the scene for an incredibly peaceful and energising trek. Thank you, Himalayan Friendly!

A very enjoyable trip to the Tsum Valley thanks to Ram.

    Verified Smooth sailing trekking experience
Ram took my two friends and I on a trek to Peaky (Pikey) Peak in December. Our porters were excellent, Ram had brought fresh fruit for us to have each day, and he took care in arranging comfortable accommodation if we weren't happy with initial choices. While there was some miscommunication with our flight back (we had to wait an extra day in the town we were in), Ram made up for it by taking us on a stunning local hike. Communication was a bit choppy before we met him and went on the trek, but in person, everything worked out really well, so you just need to trust in the process if things don't seem so clear at first. Ram is a very gentle, kind person with a quirky sense of humour. He was very helpful when we needed to buy some equipment in Thamel at the start of the trek, too. You will have a great experience if you trek with him!

    Verified Incredible trekking experience!
Ram is an amazing and friendly person to spend your time on the mountain with. He was more than happy to chat away the hours and even shared some Nepalese card games with us in the evenings. Would highly recommend a trek in Nepal with Ram leading you on!

    Verified Excellent experience!
Ram arranged the best trek ever!  He took four of us with 2 porters on the ABC trek.  We were so very honored to meet these gentle souls.  They reassured us of everything and we felt safe and prepared throughout the whole adventure.  Shortly into our journey Ram said to us, “I am really happy with you.”  We felt the same with him.  Ram was more than a guide, he became a friend.  We spent the days walking while exchanging language lessons and appreciating the beauty together.  Ram was meticulous in his planning of the days.  He knew just how long we needed each day to make it to the next spot.  Everything was organized and we had a lot of fun.  I highly recommend Himalayan Friendly Treks.  The name says it all...
