Hiking Around Kathmandu Valley

I have travelled with Happy Feet Mountaineers Pvt. Ltd. on trekking adventures in Nepal over the past nine years. We have been to many different parts of the country, from Kanchenjunga in the far east to the remote, high desert of the Upper Dolpo in the far west, and many places in between, such as Manaslu, Dhaulagiri, Upper Mustang, Rolwaling Valley, Annapurna region and more. I have thoroughly enjoyed all my trips with Happy Feet, as they provide exceptional service, manage all the details, and solve whatever problems might occur along the way, always with a smile and a laugh! They live to serve others, and I’m grateful for my time with them. Travelling in Nepal with Happy Feet has been life-changing, and I consider them like family now. I’m heading back for another trip soon - I can’t wait!

In Sept 2022, a group of us started a trek to the Upper Dolpo region of Nepal with Happy Feet Mountaineers.  The trip was well organised with a great team of support people. But a trekking company like Happy Feet is best judged not when things go well but when they go wrong. Sometimes, at the start of the trip, I got Dengue Fever. I got to the point that I asked to be evacuated back to Kathmandu. Before I had spoken to the insurance company back home via satellite phone, Happy Feet had already organised a helicopter, which arrived promptly and took me straightaway to Nepal’s premier hospital, where Ngima Dendi Sherpa, managing director of Happy Feet, awaited me to help with any check-in procedures. Ngima visited me each of the 5 days I was in the hospital and could not have been more helpful. So, if you want to trek in Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan, I can wholeheartedly recommend Happy Feet – a fantastically well-run company!

Their name says it all. When you’re with them, you and your feet are HAPPY! Make your trekking arrangements with these guys, and all you have to do is sit back and relax and they’ll meet you at the airport with a handmade Nepalese lei. Every detail of your trip will be done, including any spontaneous request you may have. Great food, equipment and excellent locally trained staff. Have you ever had fresh baked pie or birthday cake at 4000 meters? You will with Happy Feet! And their service isn’t complete until you’re back on your plane. They’ll do what it takes to make your trip memorable and HAPPY!

Our group has trekked in Nepal on several occasions and have always been assisted by Happy Feet Mountaineers. Ngima and Dendi are extremely diligent, and their attention to the small details made our treks go so well. They will tailor the trek to your needs and experience, ensuring a first-class experience. I have recommended other individual trekkers to them, and the feedback has always been as I expected. For the best trekking experience in Nepal, Happy Feet is the team to use.
