I've been taking hikes with them for three years, and they just keep getting better. Always great views and great company. Totally recommend vonKathmandu.

While the landscape and Sherpa culture alone are enough to leave one in awe, solid planning and logistics support on behalf of VonKathmandu staff enabled me to enjoy the trek without worrying about details.

My family and I have been coming on hikes with vonKathmandu for around two years and we've enormously enjoyed every hike! It's one of our favourite things to do in Kathmandu.

We had a most outstanding 9 days trip to Poonhill, Mohare and around Pokhara Hills. Congrats also for the very knowledgeable and smart organizational skills of team vonkathmandu that made these days very special to us. We will come back!
