Client Reviews

We trekked with Cholendra to Gorepani /Poon hill for 4 days in October. I highly recommend this experience. Cholendra is very thoughtful and organized. He took very good care of our family, so we could enjoy our trip. He is extremely capable and helped us organize transportation after our trek, and planned our stay in Chitwan. I would not hesitate to travel with him again.

We planned our yatra/trip in December 2014 and from then onwards, Cholendra nurtured our dreams into reality.
Nepal earthquake, road closures- no problem! Cholendra always had solutions and made arrangements to fulfil our yatra requirement.
Our family of 12 (ranging from the ages of 38 to 72) were taken care of like royalty. Yummy meals are freshly prepared and served that made us feel at home.
I would recommend anyone who wants to experience this wonderful spiritual journey to trust Cholendra and his team/ expertise to make your plans a reality.

Stay blessed Cholendra.. You enabled my parents the best experience of the lifetime....Kailash Darshan.. They are forever grateful.

Thank you seems so little compared to your efforts and personality, but that's all I can sum it up as.... THANK YOU.

Our Gosainkunda trekking took place in April this year. Before the trip I was a bit worried how it would turn out since I was an inexperienced trekker and it was our first guided tour with the Himalayan Joy team.

During this trip I realised I couldn't have made a better choice of guide. From the start Cholendra and his team were friendly and easygoing which put all of us at ease. But came the first day of our trekking when the earthquake struck. Though in times of a great disaster, it didn't stop them from taking care of us. During our descent, there were many times I slipped on the rocky path and I was at a very slow pace. Cholen held on to my hand so that I did not fall from over 2,000km of height. Landslides were almost everywhere but owing to his good judgement, we managed to avoid getting hit by rocks and made our way down safely to the relief camp. Later we got news that many houses from his village was greatly damaged but be that as it may, he stayed with us and ensured we had access to shelter, food, water and blanket. I was able to get in touch with my family through his phone. This exemplified the level of professionalism and empathy in their work. We simply could not say enough our appreciation. With this, I'll definitely recommend Himalayan Joy to my friends.

This is my first ever review on tripadvisor and many things has compelled me to write for Cholendra. First and foremost, he is an excellent trekking guide. We are unfortunate to have our trip interrupted by the devastating earthquake, where many people are gravely injured/hurt. Cholendra took care of our group and made us his priority. He made sure that we are safe, have enough food and got shelter to sleep under. We couldn't ask for more. Even at the midst of the deadliest disaster in Nepal, he went out of his way to cook us a meal so that we could have a taste of Nepal's different cuisines. He also went out of his way to help other people. With such a selfless guide, you can be sure that you are safe no matter where you go.

My first trekking in Nepal was organised from the Himalayan Joy Adventure. The team was very professional and totally lovely. He recomanded me to do the Tamang Heritage Trail and the Langtang Valley. It was an amazing experience in the tamang culture and in the high montain altitude. My guide was Rajendra. He take care all the time for my best confort and safety and always with a smile. It was great time with him and he is now a friend.

From the moment I agreed to join the EBC trip, I was looking forward to making one of the item in my 'Bucket List' to be one of the most memorable trip. More significant was that I'm going to be doing with my best buddies. My expectations were high.
From the moment we arrived till the day we departed from Nepal, Himalayan Joy made sure the 'joy' of the whole trek is not taken away in the face of exhaustion and challenges we faced. I must say that is a heck of organizing skills and made us feel that we are in the hands of very accommodating but no nonsense guides.
So will I go back to Nepal again. Hell Yes! And with Himalayan Joy, I can bet the trips will be unforgettable. Thanks to Cholendra and team. Please keep up the good work.
