Client Reviews

I have been trekking with Cholendra and his team and have recommended them to others. They are incredibly professional and will take great care of you. I cannot recommend them enough!

Did a 2 week EBC trek recently. Stayed in Sampada Hotel, Kathmandu. Hotel was cozy with efficient and friendly staff. A perfect place to relax.

Cholendra was super efficient with personal touch. Pick us up at the airport and brought us for shopping/dinner. Even made contingency plans for helicopter ride if Lukla airport was closed.

Tika our guide was superb ; friendly, patient & never flustered. Has great knowledge of local geography, customs & culture. Wouldnt have made it to EBC if not for his assistance.

Jon our porter was equally good, always nearby to carry our luggage.

Fortunate to have such a good team assisting me and would definitely be back in Nepal after such a wonderful experience.

Thanks to Cholendra & team at Himalayan Joy Adventure.

I did a short trek to Ghorepani - Poonhill. It was a last minute decision on my part. I contacted Cholendra and told me about my plans and he made all the arrangements on very short notice. Everything was ready when I arrived. Himalayan Joy always book the best hotels and don’t cut corners. They took very good care of me. Their Guide, Tika is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Overall I enjoyed my trip tremendously. This is my second trip with them. The first was to Everest Base Camp before the pandemic. Highly recommend it to everyone.

Just came back from an amazing and most challenging Three Passes Trek. The trek well organized by Himalaya Joy Adventure with the help of Tika, an excellent guide and our nice porter Kaila. This our third trek with this company which we very recommend.

This was probably the most "enlightening" 2 weeks of my life.

I met Cholendra when my family and I did the Annapurna circuit 2+ years ago and I was up for more. So this time round I wanted to summit Mera Peak, but before that to do some volunteering work and get a taste of village life.

As a doctor I wanted to explore healthcare/education in a Nepalese setting, and so Cholendra had made arrangements for me to stay in Basa ; village in the mountains with his parents and work in a healthpost and school there.

After a 15 hour jeep ride from Kathmandu, I was finally in Basa. I was greeted by Cholendra's parents, Mr and Mrs Bahadur Karki who were the most generous and loving hosts you would ever have. Throughout the stay they were so warm, kind and made sure I was comfortable however they could. I stayed in a very clean room, with plenty of blankets to keep warm for it got pretty cold at night.

It was a simple way of life - food, work, people. I tried to live their life - ate what they ate, went to the fields, dug up potatoes, fed the goats,building a cowshed, helped the villagers paint their community hall, cooked with aunty... It was such fun!

The people led simple lives and were happy in the hearts. It redefined the meaning of sharing and happiness. It made me question aspects of my own life...

I spent a few days at the health post and the remainder time at the local school. For 1.5 weeks - I was running English based games/programmes with children of different ages. In that period of time they improved their vocabulary and confidence speaking English. I had objectively measured this and came up with some recommendations which I shared with the teaching faculty.

It was a great time I had and has made me a more humble human being. Personally, I feel that people should experience this life and use it to reevaluate their own lives, do social work and contribute back to society. This being said, the " village experience" should NOT be commercialised like others I have seen for it will change the entire setting and significance of it.

Thank you Mr and Mrs Bahadur Karki for such an unforgettable experience and Cholendra for making it possible!

We just came back after accomplished this amazing trek which organized by Himalayan Joy Adventure. Everything was perfect thanks to Mr. Cholendra and his staff.
