Another Amazing Trip with Above the Himalaya
mikefC1316VH,,Nov 26, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00This is my 3rd trip with Above the Himalaya and Puru. Each trip with Puru has exceeded expectation with the quality of the guides, porters and attention to detail. We were a team of 5 trekker and our ages were all above 67 years of age with the oldest being 73. We are all experienced hikers and trekker and our plan was to trek up the Khumbu Valley to the Cho La pass to Gokyo to the Renjo La pass to return to Lukla. However, the weather altered our plans as Cyclone Montha blanketed the country in rain at lower elevations and significant snowfall at the upper elevations. Due to the weather, no one was trekking and everyone was staying put in their current location during the storm. All the passes were closed due to the deep snow. We were in Namche when the storm was blanketing the country. This is where Above the Himalaya really shines is in the ability to adapt to the changing conditions and our safety. In conversation with our lead guide, we decided to alter our route to trek through the Gokyo valley to reach Gokyo and then do the Renjo La pass. Sitaram our lead guide and Dhurba our assistant guide was both attentive to the changing conditions and always kept a keen eye for how we were doing and feeling on the trek. The pacing was excellent as none of us had any hint of altitude sickness as we reached a maximum elevation of 5,365m. Having trekked and hiked all over the world with different tour companies, Puru’s company is simply the best. The communications, focus on safety, the guides and staff, the accommodations, and the food are all amazing. All you have to do is focus on the beauty of the mountains, enjoy the joyfulness of the Nepali people and have fun exploring the trails. I am planning my next trip with Puru for 2027 as there is no other trekking company to match Puru’s level of service.

5.00My friends and I just completed the EBC trek. From the time I met Puru at the Canada Place trade show in Vancouver BC, Canada I felt comfortable going to Nepal. His communications via WhatsApp were seamless answering all our questions. Everything went exactly according to plan. Our guide Suresh was amazing. He took very good care of us the whole time. From guiding us to making sure we had everything we needed to be happy. The food the whole way up and back was amazing! 5 ⭐️. Our 2 porters were great as well. I have a whole new respect and appreciation for what they do. They are the true hero’s to what we can do as a team. We chose the basic trek the lodging was to be expected. If I was to do again I would choose the luxury trek. The hotels in Kathmandu at the Hotel Aloft and the Hotel Lo Mustang were top notch as well as the buffets. Highly recommend this local company!
Very good

5.00Fantastic and reliable company based out of Kathmandu. Puru the owner was accessible and we had zoom Meetings even prior to our departure. Hotels, guides tea houses and all details were well thought out and finely executed and crafted. We were a large group with varying ability and the guides Mae sure all were well taken care. Puru was excellent in responding to a crisis with altitude in our group. This experience alone sets this company apart ! I am Planning on more expeditions with Mr. Puru’s company and guidance.
Safe for solo traveler

5.00I’ve been hiking to ABC as a solo traveler with above the Himalaya from 26 Apr to 02 Apr. Unfortunately, the flight from KTM to Pokhara was canceled and it was a waste of 1 day since I had to go by Jeep. But above the Himalaya team can arrange to reach ABC within the remaining days. I also feel safe and comfortable with the support of the team during the trip. Thanks Puru and his team.
Great experience for EBC trekking

5.00That was an awesome experience. Puru, the tour organizer has always been available for questions. His knowledge of Nepal and the Himalayas is simply unbeatable. Places to stay, restaurants and even barbershops - he was always ready to assist. Puru also helped to negotiate the rates for extra services, like a helicopter ride, that I needed on the way when Lukla airport was closed for airplanes due to the weather conditions. I requested a strong and experienced guide for the mountain trekking tour and my guide, Ram is exactly that person. He knows the tracks very well. Hiking times, challenging parts, good places to stop on the way, all mountain names and heights - I was sure I could ask him any question and he'll address it. He is a strong man and it was no issue for him to speed up on the uphill part or walk 2-3 times faster than an estimated trekking time. Overall, it was an outstanding experience and I would definitely get in touch with Puru and his team again if I plan another trek in Nepal.
