Trip review after Corona Virus, Everest View trek
Honest, knowledgeable service even during a pandemic. Review of Everest base camp trek
One always worries whether a trekking company is being honest and how much their markup is, but Puru Timalsena and Above the Himalayas were straightforward, honest, told me where not to spend extra though it would have benefitted him, and did great follow up. I have used Above the Himalayas for two trips, the first in 2019 to visit Upper Mustang for the Tiji festival and the second in November 2020 for the Everest/Khumbu region. As I was living in Nepal, I tried initially to do some of the groundwork for myself, but with someone as knowledgeable as Puru at the helm, that was a mistake. He even helped us out at a hotel I tried to arrange on my own and helped us gather reliable information on how to get my wife back to Nepal during the pandemic after she had to leave with only a regular tourist visa. In both cases, he helped without any additional commission on his side, which you wouldn’t readily find in a country like Nepal. His arrangements and advice were always spot on. I highly recommend Above the Himalayas.
My husband booked his trip with Above the Himalayas based on referrals while researching his trip. His original statement to me was, “we are going to use Above the Himalayas because based on everything I have read, they are the best”
5 months forward, and time to travel, my husbands original quote is an understatement. Unfortunately, my husband was unable to finish his trip. It never crossed my mind, that a service of this sort would provide the incredible, hands on, personal attention that Puru (owner) has provided for my husband and our family. Although we did not travel with him, Puru has made sure that we were aware every step of the way. My husband has made a life friend in India.
Above the Himalayas is by far, the best, most professional company that we’ve worked with.
My husband just completed the Everest Base Camp trek and it was amazing! Above the Himalaya is a great company and I would highly recommend anyone to book their trip with them. The owner Puru goes above and beyond and is extremely professional and very knowledgeable. You will not regret your decision with this company excellent communication.
