Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    From airport pick up to farewell dinner (and airport drop off) Himalayan Gateway Trek exceeded my expectations.

    Binod, one of the company owners, made sure I have the best 1st hiking trip in Nepal. Not only did he lead the Mardi Himal trek but he also accompanied me in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Both city and mountain accommodations were very comfortable and I absolutely had the best rest each time. Sleeping bag is provided and they were very kind to lend me a pair of trekking poles… when my headlamp stopped working, Binod even lent me his. I was able to choose any food I want during meal time and I always got enough hydration. A porter also helped carry some of my things which I really appreciated since I had bulky items for cold weather.

    This trip really immersed me in Nepalese culture. My guide shared alot of interesting facts about their culture and he was always ready to answer any questions I had about the things I saw as we hiked.

    I really couldn’t recommend this company enough and I look forward to more trips with them.

    My son ald I joined a one-day rafting trip on the Bhote Kosi river. Because there are so many little agencies in Kathmandu and I doubted there expertise I booked the trip directly to Nepal River Runner. That was a good choise! The owner explained everything very well and on the rafting day he brought us to the local bus. His brother was waiting there and travelled with us.
    The staff and the river guide were great and well experienced. We had a lot of fun, and all the time we had the feeling they had everything under control.
    After finishing the trip we were brought back to the hotel in Kathmandu. Everything was great, no complaints!

    Sundarijal canyoning was too extreme as the water flow current was high...i want to thank Mr. Kishor Shahi and Mr. Sujan Tamang for teaching me the way and constantly reminding of the safety in a professional way.. The natural scene was awesome and the trekking to the starting point was difficult as the way was incline in the jungle covered with dried leaves.. The rocks were slippery... Overall the experience was adventurous as expected but the thrill level was unexpectedly high....

    Both being beginners to river kayaking my friend and I were keen to learn and test the skills necessary to run some of the most beautiful rapids in the world!! The sweep roll was one of the most important skills, used to self right yourself, and the crew helped us achieve this more consistently within two days!!

    Our kayak clinic was three days long and we learned a variety of skills, all of which we used, to safely descend our two river runs!!
    Particular shout out to Prashant and Ashish! Extremely helpful and friendly guys, excited about us getting the most out of our time on the river!!

    Cannot recommend this company enough!! It was the best thing we did in Nepal hands down!
