    Amazing Experience - Best Guide Narayan!!!

    Bought a scoop-on deal in Aus for me and my mate to do the 15day Everest Base Camp trek. Fairly good communication with the company, however didn't get the bag or map that was supposedly part of the deal. No huge issue. 
    The trek itself was magnificent. Very tough physically but the friends we made with our group(18 of us) got us through. One of our members had to be evacuated out by helicopter on second last night/morning and the way we all came together is a memory that I will always have. 
    Now to the big stars of the trek and the top of the list is easily our guide Narayan. He was absolutely sensational, knowledgable, fun and made the trip the experience it was. I would only ever book again if I was guaranteed he would be the guide. His assistants Gorkul, Ram-hari and others were also fantastic. They were fantastic, always checking on us, our health, what we had eaten and drank. Very professional. Couldn't recommend these guys enough.
    Thank you for all the memories.

    Himalaya Scenery and Trek Everest Base Camp Trip

    I saw the 15 day Everest trek advertised on Living Social early this year. I decided to book the trip direct with the company, through Ram the boss, at the same price £499. My trek took place in late September/early October this year, the weather was fantastic and I did it in shorts throughout. I cannot recommend this trip highly enough. It is the trip of a lifetime and if you are lucky enough to meet people similar to those that I did on the trek you will cherish the memories for the rest of your life. Ram arranges everything at the Kathmandu end and I was impressed with the transport arrangements and the Hotel Access. BK was our guide throughout the trek and he helped to make the trip an absolute joy with his humour, professionalism and understanding and care of those on the trek. Walk at his pace and you will not only complete the trek but you will also see all of the sights on route. Just a few points, remember that the toilets and the accommodation will be basic. You will not have the chance to wash properly very often. Wet wipes are essential. Do not take any of the food packages offered, it is far far cheaper to order and pay for what you want at the time. The guide takes your order and you pay him at the end of each meal, very slick and no effort. Take enough local currency from the start. Water is very expensive and increases in price the higher you get. Everywhere has free drinking water, take a platypus and some sterilisation tabs and you will be fine. In summary, I recommend this company and hope to book the Annapurna Trek through them for next year I also arranged my own flights to Kathmandu via Doha with Qatar Airways and can also recommend them. Hope this helps.

    EBC Sept/Nov '17

    I would like to recommend Himalayan Scenery and Ram Krishna, and the best guide in the world BK!!!!!
    We started in Kathmandu, 15-day trek to EBC. Amazing flight to Lukla. It was hard, steep walk, not showered for couple of days, don't expect toilets as we know it, 6-8 hours walk everyday, food is vegetarian (in mountain only), you will get fed up with it after few days, but you have to eat to have an energy. 
    We were so tired, but BK kept checking on us all the times, if we are okay, how is our breathing in thin air, if we have headache (as it can be dangerous). Even if weather was not very clear, BK kept us busy and entertained all the time.
    Unfortunately after we climbed EBC I end up with high temperature (that I couldnt get rid of), Altitude sickness, which can be life-threatening. Of course my partner and BK were by my side and BK recommended emergency helicopter. I was so stubborn and wanted to continue with trek, but the hardest day of 20km trek down was in front of us, so it was safer to not risk it.
    I spent one day in hospital recovering. Shame I couldn't finish it, but I'm glad I'm alive. Thanks to my partner and BK.
    This is eye-opening trip of lifetime. Thank you so much.
    If you wish to get more info, feel free to contact me privately.

    Awesome experience

    Having read the previous reviews, it is hard to say something new so I will simply endorse all the great points others have made, specifically the organisation of the whole trip, the amazing guides (special mention to Naryan) and porters and the unbelievable scenery throughout the trek. The contrast of wild rivers, lush forests and snow-capped mountains is breathtaking and great reward for what is a very challenging trek. As long as you don't expect luxury and embrace the experience, you will have a wonderful time and the people we met (locals and trekkers) were awesome

    EBC Trek, with great group,quide and porters.

    I would like to say a big thank you for Himalayan Scenery Treks and Expedition.

    This trek was organised extremely well, including flights to and from Lukla.
    We had a pleasure to enjoy a knowledgeable guide Shiba Karki who made sure that we all where keeping well thorough our trek.
    What a great way to see a breathtaking scenery where photos are not doing any justice if you are willing to do to sometimes challenging leg work.

    Amazing trip, amazing people.

    Myself and my boyfriend Tom booked an EBC trek on a whim during a particularly boring work day, and it was the best thing we've ever done. From the moment we stepped off the plane until we flew home (a month later) we were looked after and I've never felt more welcomed by both country and company. Our Guide BK (Bikram) was absolutely amazing, and more than we could have ever hoped for. Not only was his knowledge of the mountain and it's people first class, he is a truly intelligent man who thinks on his feet, and you couldn't be in safer hands during your trek. Our Porter Gopal Puri was also amazing. Unbelievably quick and strong, he has a great sense of humour and it was an honour to have met him. 

    We definitely couldn't have done the trek without them both, and wouldn't have wanted to. It was a dream trip, with amazing photos to take home, and some new friends for life.

    Manaslu Circuit Trek

    Such an amazing experience. Made more enjoyable with our genuinely friendly and knowledgeable guide Narayan. This extends to Govinda our Sherpa both always there for great conversations and encouragement. We were looked after like friend's. Each day was explained and we had our oxygen and hearts checked every night of each stage. The tea houses were very accommodating and food a plenty. We certainly will return for other expeditions with HS. And hope to catch up again next year.
