Ashish and his team treated us with such warmth and hospitality that we had an absolutely amazing time. The tour was superbly organized and guided with the utmost professionalism. The support from the entire team was indescribable.

Namaste,
I'd been planning a trip to the Himalayas for years and ill tell you this, the Himalayas do not just exist — they arrive in you. Hear me out…
There are places in the world that are beautiful, and then there are the Himalayas — where beauty feels sacred, where silence speaks, where the air itself seems older than memory. This wasn’t just a holiday, it was a quiet awakening.

Every sunrise and sunset spilled gold across peaks that looked close enough to touch, yet powerful enough to humble every thought I’ve ever had. The scenery wasn’t just breathtaking — it took my breath, as if reminding me that I am small, and that being small in a vast, ancient world is a gift.

The mountains don’t rush you; they don’t demand. They simply stand — patient, eternal — and somehow in their stillness, everything noisy inside you begins to settle. I felt it in my chest first: A loosening, A softening. Then the very raw, authentic gratitude rose and met me unexpectedly and without permission on numerous occasions.

There were moments when emotion caught in my throat — not from sadness, but from a fullness so pure it almost hurt. The kind of fullness that makes you realise happiness isn’t loud. It isn’t flashy. It is quiet. It's cold morning air filling your lungs. It's prayer flags whispering in the wind. It's the crunch of earth beneath your boots. It's locking eyes with a stranger and sharing a smile that says, "we are lucky to be here" accompanied with a gentle exchange of "Namaste".

In the Himalayas, I didn’t chase happiness. I remembered it.
I remembered who I am beneath the deadlines, beneath the expectations, beneath the noise. I found joy in the simplest rituals — warm honey, lemon ginger tea in chilled hands, the glow of dusk folding over distant peaks, the profound comfort of doing absolutely nothing except existing.

It felt emotional because it was real. It felt magical because it was honest. It felt unforgettable because it touched something ancient inside my soul. This wasn’t just travel. It was gratitude in its purest form. It was standing on sacred ground and feeling my heart say, "This is what it means to be alive" and NONE of this holiday would have unfolded the way it did without the guidance of Ashish.

Everything was organised from the minute I landed at the airport where I was greeted with the biggest, most welcoming smile. Most evenings involved a briefing so I knew what was ahead for the next day and when bad weather impacted the schedule, Ashish provided options.

His local knowledge and experience as a guide is second to none. His unconditional passion for his beautiful country reflects in all that he does and with the local people he engages with. He is skilled in navigating the mountains, reading body language determining your ability to climb the mountains and encouraged me through the altitude enabling me to reach the Thorong La Pass in the snow. That was some feat.

In addition to this, he is an equally skilled mountain biker and moves effortlessly on his MTB. Gliding in unison, following the flow of the path, he took me out of my comfort zone where the confidence and trust in my bike grew. Then there's his presence, while professional, he is also very calming to be around and has an element of cheekiness. I'm forever grateful to have met him in a world of millions. And when (not 'if') I return, Ashish will be the one I call.

I can’t recommend Trail Himalayas enough.

The rating limits me to 5 stars, but Ashish & Trail Himalayas are absolutely worthy of 10*.

Ashish was so 'on to it' the whole time. Everything was sorted in advance, this made the trip so easy and worry free.
Ashish's knowledge of the terrain and side trails is very extensive, so he can cater for any level of rider skill, ensuring everyone is having a great time.

Ashish guided me on a mountain bike adventure through the Lower Mustang area. He was friendly, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local terrain and culture. His expertise extended far beyond just biking - he had impressive knowledge of local history, geology, and the amazing surrounding mountains. If I ever get a chance to return to Nepal for another mountain bike trip, I'll definitely think of Ashish. I highly recommend him!

Service and professionalism Can't go wrong with these guys. We did Annapurna circuit on March 2025 with Ashish and Samir. Hands down these guys are very professional and experienced people in the field. Logistics, fooding, lodging, transport, bike maintenance everything topnotch.

Trip of a lifetime Trip of a lifetime - all possible thanks to Trail Himalayas and Ashish and Prachit! We had an ambitious plan to connect the Upper Mustang, Annapurna and Manaslu circuits by bike - Ashish helped create an itinerary for us with great local knowledge and organised the most amazing guide for us! So much work went on behind the scenes for us and we are so appreciative, we felt so welcomed when we got to Nepal. We had a few bumps along the way which affected our plans but the Trail Himalayas team were dynamic in their problem solving and sorted everything out for us, even took us riding for a few days in Kathmandu when circumstances kept us there longer. Couldn’t recommend these guys more - so kind, fun and adventurous!

Pikey Peak and Phaplu Trails I had planned to do this trip for years, but never had a chance. This year it finally happened. About one week around Pikey Peak and Phaplu. Beautiful places and great people. Trails were a bit too advanced for my beginner skill, but in the end, it helped me to push myself and still have a great time! Ashish had picked cool tea houses with great local food and I got to experience Nepal again in a completely different way. As a guide, I find Ashish very calm, friendly and always understanding, even during my “mild” breakdowns :) Overall great trip and cool experience to see Nepal. Definitely would do another trip with him as there is so much to discover regarding to mountain biking. Thank you!

A+ for the Annapurna Circuit Wow, What a trip! I met Ashish & Sanjeev in Pokhara, where we went through all the gear before setting off by Jeep to the start of the Circuit. All the gear was top notch (bike, helmet, hold all), & on arrival to our start point (Tal) the accommodations were also very comfortable. I loved the scenery on this trip (was also very lucky with the weather). The different environments we cycled through, the juxtaposition of the route, the difference between the valley you ascend vs descend… it was just non-stop beauty. I was a little nervous for the Thorong La Pass (altitude & descending is not my forte), but with the acclimatization plan I ended up being fine physically, & just hike-a-biked the sections I was uncomfortable with. But the route to & from the Pass… A+! Riding is mostly on dirt jeep track for the first couple of days; single track for a couple of days (some hike-a-bike while your lungs get used to the altitude); then a combo of jeep road & single track on the way out. You can also ride the whole loop, but that probably adds ~6 days of riding on fairly intimidating roads (traffic, limited passing opportunities). Ashish can tailor the trip to your interests- send him a message & get chatting to see what might work best for you!

Mountain Biking in Nepal While celebrating Holi, I accidentally stumbled across a bike shop in Kathmandu back in March while on an eight-month tour around the world, and what followed wasn't just a bike ride, it was one of the top experiences of my entire trip. To this day, when people ask my favorite country, I tell them Nepal, entirely because of the mountain biking adventure Ashish and his friends set up for me. From the moment we met, Ashish was brilliant. He handled everything, ensuring I had a perfectly set-up bike and all the necessary gear. He is genuinely knowledgeable about the local trails, but beyond that, he is a great guide, kind, friendly, and always ready with a warm smile. The riding itself was great. He set up shuttle laps, creating the same incredible, fun atmosphere I'm used to back home in Canada. It felt less like being on a guided tour and more like riding with old friends. If you are a mountain biker and find yourself in Nepal, booking a trip with Ashish is non-negotiable. He provides professional service with unmatched local knowledge and genuine warmth. I simply cannot recommend him highly enough.
