Three friends and I went on a 10-day trek around the Annapurna Base Camp with our guide Cholendra and it was a wonderful experience! Himalayan Joy took care of our in-country logistics (flights to and from Pokhara, making reservations in tea houses) and Cholendra was an expert guide, leaving the trek as stress-free for my friends and I as possible. Cholendra and the porters ensured that we had a safe journey, were able to experience all that the trail had to offer (for example, we went on two early-morning sunrise hikes at beautiful vantage points and enjoyed a trip to some hot springs!), and kept us well fed. Cholendra's English is excellent (and he is always willing to teach others some Nepali) and he is a very helpful, knowledgeable, skilled, and kind guide.

The trek itself is beautiful and challenging; you get to enjoy the ampi-theater of Himalayas at Base Camp and a plethora of jungle hiking along the way. I highly recommend Himalayan Joy to anyone considering a trek in Nepal and will use them again if given the chance to return in the future. This was one of the most memorable and amazing experiences of my life and I owe much of that to Himalayan Joy and Cholendra ensuring my safety and knowing the trail routes, where we would stay each night, what was best to eat based on altitude, and helping to translate. With all of that taken care of, my friends and I were able to take in all that ABC and the Himalayas had to offer!

We were travelling in a group of three girls and our parents were concerned of our safety, told us we have to find a reliable tour company, otherwise our trip is off. Cholendra and Himalayan Joy were recommended by a friend of mine, and very competitively priced, so we went with them.

Cholendra had extended his utmost warm welcome to us when we arrived. Assigned a very very good guide to us who has done his best to look after us throughout our 21days trek to the Annapurna circuit and also Annapurna Base Camp. Thanks to them, we experienced a very warm Nepal, in the very cold winter of Nepal. :)

I am looking forward to return to Nepal and definitely appointing Himalayan Joy to organise my trip.

Recommending Himalayan Joy for trip to Nepal & Tibet is a great thing to do. Cholendra & his crew arent organizer but they are like a family when comes to holiday/pilgrimage..The entire trip of our to Kailash we felt like we are in Nepal/Tibet with our friends. This guys are simply amazing. The service level is no complains at all. They took care of the needs as more than we expected.During my entire trip to Kailash yatra we felt so pleased to be with Himalayan Joy. My next trip is going to Everest base Camp and i know who is gonna bring me there....Himalayan Joy Rock

Cholendra and his group are highly recommended to be choosen as your travel guide to Khailash. I just returned from my Manasarovar - Khailash Yathra. The hospitality provided by the group is beyond words. They really do care of every participant. Escpecially when I fell sick, I was very well taken care of. Not just me, but everyone in my group. Food provided by them was also very well prepared, clean and delicious. Overall, they are the best. I enjoyed myself truely in this trip under the guide of HIMALAYAN JOY ADVENTURE Pvt. Ltd.

To begin with, Cholendra is a great human being. His knowledge about the rout and trek is phenomenal. Moreover it was the most beautiful place I have ever been in, and thank Cholendra now I have one more great reason to remember it. I advise everyone to visit Nepal and when you get there to have the time of your life with Cholendra.

A little over a year ago, I went on a journey to Kathmandu, Nepal.
I work in a clinic, in Lynnwood, Washington, so I had heard of Cholendra before I left the USA.
One of our physicians, and her family, had him as their trek leader and guide. They admired everything about him and then some! I started emailing him, long before I got to Nepal. I landed in Kathmandu on Sunday, and sure enough on Monday, Cholendra called me to make sure I was safe and sound! He took me all over the city and I loved everything about it! I saw neighborhoods, shops, mountains, temples, and my very favorite, The Kopan Monestary. Cholendra was the perfect gentleman, always kind, and always with the most beautiful smile. He lit up the room with his soft demeanor, kindness, and patience. He was always punctual, had a way with getting the best transportation, always getting us to our destination safe, and sound. Cholendra taught me everything about Nepal, the people, the way of life, beliefs, and just helping me see the beauty and peace of Nepal. He showed how much love, and respect he has in his heart for his home, his country, Nepal. It was the most amazing journey I have and will ever take. Cholendra did everything to give that to me. The warmest, most at peace soul I have ever met.
