Had an amazing trip to Everest Base Camp, an absolutely wonderful trip with this company HAPPYLAND TREKS PVT. LTD. Best service and well-organized everything by BIMAL and We did the trip with pramish and Arun. We will do another trip with this company in a few years and highly recommend Happyland.
I recently did the EBC trek with Happyland had an outstanding experience. My guides attended me up and down to make sure my needs were taken care of. Since my schedule was very tight, he kept an open line of communication. After reaching Lukla, I met Sherpa and my guide. The fact that they handled every single thing to make my trip very enjoyable was incredible. They treated us not only as a customer but as a friend. They were very knowledgeable about the region and spoke multiple languages. We were free of worry throughout the trek as they made sure that our safety was their first priority.
I have just returned from doing the EBC trek. What a personality changing trek it turned out to be. Our guide was first class, professional, friendly, and had great knowledge regarding the area, its culture, tradition, and wildlife. If I undertake this trip again, without any doubt, I will choose the Happyland Trek. They made my trip fabulous. I didn’t have to worry about small details like permits and vehicles; they prepared it all. From the very first contact, I felt this was the company I need to book with. They were 24/7 available for my needs. Time and again, he would ask about my physical health at higher altitudes. He would also provide tips on walking with less stress to the body — A big thank you to the Happyland team. I would highly recommend them, and I will always hire them for any further treks in Nepal. Namaste!!
Happyland Treks is the best agency in Nepal, period! We had a phenomenal trip to Everest, all thanks to them. Even though we did not have luck with the weather, we enjoyed the trip a lot. The guide assigned to me was very helpful; he wouldn’t leave my side even though I was hours behind the main party. It was interesting that he knew every hotel and lodge owners. We couldn’t have enjoyed this trip as much without his knowledge, experience, and guidance. He was continually asking about our health and comfort. We made wonderful memories and still miss the mountains!!!
We successfully completed EBC Trek with the help of Happyland Treks. The flight to Lukla itself was an adventure. The view of the mountains we saw from the flight was simply breathtaking. The trek was challenging (it was our first trekking experience). However, the view and excitement were totally worth the challenge. Everything was well organized, and the service could not have been better. We have no complaints about this agency and its team. They had a professional team and were very well informed. It was such a memorable moment in our life. I definitely recommend booking with this company.
