Tour Reviews
Our trek to Everest Base Camp with Explore Himalaya adventure sports association was a trip to remember. From our arrival in the Kathmandu airport to our departure 16 days later, this was amazing the way they care about us was unforgettable. God bless you all.
It was an amazing tour to kasol
I am from Australia and I came across Explore Himalaya.org while surfing the internet for my himalayan trekking adventure. Based on other positive reviews, I decided to go with Explore Himalaya.org. Now I am very happy with my decision because I had an amazing time in India and Nepal with their Team, specialy with Akshay in India and Raghav in Nepal. and all because of Explore Himalaya.They have an amazing group of guides and porters. I did the stok kangri Expedition in Leh Laddakh, India and An
I am from Mumbai. My trip with Explore Himalaya was very good. I booked my manali to leh cycling with them. We covered a lot of area. Tour leader knowledge energy and passion for Himalaya made the riding journey all so much better. We got to learn about local flora and fauna in depth, The transport and support was made so much better as Explore Himalaya team was always able to get that little bit better for what was budgeted. they had great organisation skills making the most of everyday. Thank
I want to join manali to Leh cycling camp. So please provide me quotation for 10 days. I am only one person.
Me and my sons 19 and 17 years, were desperate to do a cycling tour in India after our Nepal tour with Explore Himalaya.I was nervous doing this kind of trip in India. However, our guide Akshay had planned out the safest tour and he was very safety conscious. It was an enjoyable 8-day trip and though there were some nerve-wracking road rides, most of the trip was awesome with few to no traffic. Would definitely recommend Explore Himalaya to other travelers.
It was more beautiful than I had imagined it. Valley of flowers is simply a delight to the senses. I came to know about this trek through my friend circle. We got in touch with explorehimalaya.org and they arranged the whole trek for us in a jiffy. Uttrakhand is a home to most beautiful mountain peaks and I'm glad I have discovered the cream of it all. Kudos to the team and the support staff.
