During my last trip in 2015, I thought that if anyone else from my family would ever visit Nepal for the first time, I would entrust their safety and enjoyment to the Dream Himalaya team. A few months ago, my teenage daughter said she'd join me for a trek to Annapurna base camp this fall. So I called Dawa right away. As expected, we had a grand time! Will recommend them again and again.

H`lo Dawa
Thank you for managing the logistics of our Manaslu & Tsum Valley trek in Oct 2016 so well. With landslides near Lokpa, the entry point to the Tsum Valley cutting off the trail, your suggestion that we do the Manaslu Circuit first in reverse (clockwise, in true Buddhist tradition!) was a wise one. Thank you for the confidence you had in our abilities (from past treks with you) to take up this challenge. Hardly any trekkers do it this way & this route is mostly taken by expedition groups. Climbing ~ 4500 ft steeply from Bimthang to the Larkya La pass & descending ~ 2000 ft to Dharamsala in near white out conditions was a challenge that we were initially apprehensive about but with the moral support that our excellent staff Karma & Pemba rendered we hardly felt the strain. Thus one challenging day & many blissful days hence  ensured that we had some great time on the Manaslu circuit before the trail to Tsum was opened up again. Karma`s good natured cheeky humor & Pemba`s multi tasking go getting attitude ensured that even in the somewhat dire conditions  that we found ourselves at Mu Gompa, Gumba Lungdung & Ripchet  we still had hot food in our tummies & a warm bed for the night. Thanks to you , Karma & Pemba once again  & hoping to continue our journeys in the coming years.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Dawa and the team at Dream Himalaya - they catered to our every need during our 2014 attempt on Anidesha Chuli (6,815m) expedition to Kanchenjunga area, far east Nepal and I fully recommend them. We will certainly be using Dream Himalaya on our next trip to Nepal.

In October 2015, six (somewhat under-trained) members of the Oamaru Wine Club took on the 21 day trek to Kanchenjunga North and South Basecamps.

And after 21 days, this is what the Oamaru Winos had to say…

“Dawa and Dream Himalaya Adventures exceeded our expectations; the guides were superb, attention to detail was unbeatable, the guiding was professional and experienced. While we encountered challenges along the way, at no time did we feel unsafe.

We very much enjoyed the trekking in this beautiful part of the world. Dream Himalaya Adventure’s organisation and logistics were excellent, and the meals were outstanding. We were amazed by the breath-taking scenery, the rich diversity of the cultures, and the lush flora and fauna.

We happily recommend Dream Himalaya Adventures. They are simply the best and we would go back with them tomorrow if we could.

A huge thank you to Dawa and his helpful and incredibly friendly crew at Dream Himalaya Adventures. We had a thoroughly enjoyable journey on the Langtang / Gosaikunda Trek in Nepal and driving across Tibet to Lhasa. The trips were flexible and well suited to our needs (especially as we were faced with delayed luggage and cancelled flights en route to Khatmandu) We never had to worry as Dawa and his driver had everything organised for us, so we could get on with enjoying our visit to Nepal.

The professionalism and planning foresight is evident with this well respected company. There were so many small details that felt effortless for these guys to help us with. Thank you again Dawa, Sherku, Chheewang and Nerbu for making our trip a very memorable one.

It is now just over a week since we returned from Nepal.
Once again I wanted to thank you and Dream Himalayas for the most incredible experience during our trek in Kanchenjunga area. We could not have done it without you and your wonderful staff. It has been one of our hugest achievements and we will always treasure the memories. 
Best wishes to you, your family and the Dream Himalayas team.

Our 17-day Solukhumbu (EBC) trek with Dream Himalaya Adventures was my fourth trekking experience in Nepal. However it was the first time for me to feel properly guided, truly cared for and to be at the receiving end of such professional service. From pre-departure communication up to the time you leave Nepal they got everything covered. Dawa and his very capable team of sherpa guides would also treat you not as a mere client but as family, with a gentle kindness that seems to be the trademark characteristic of most Nepali people. Definitely I am returning to Nepal for another trek (Annapurna Circuit! :-) ), and I know it won't be a hassle to work the details out because Dream Himalaya Adventures will again do it for me :-) (so see you guys again later, in 2016! And 2017...and 2018...2019!!) Cheers to more adventures with you guys and thanks for everything!

Hi Dawa,
I have spent a very nice trek with Dream Himalaya Adventure. It is a real pleasure to be guided by your guide, Sherku. Everybody, including the porters took care of us during the trek, it was fantastic ! The landscape of Annapurna Base Camp was so amazing !
I can't imagine coming back in Nepal without asking you to organize my trip ! It is so quietful and restful like this !
Great thanks and follow in this way please !

In october 2014 I had the chance to summit successfully Ama Dablam.
The whole expedition was organized by Dream Himalayan Adventures.
Everything was perfect organized: Accomodation in Kathmandu, plane-tickets to Lukla, Lodges in the Khumbu-Valley, BC at Ama Dablam and the camps I and II. The staff in the headquarter at Kathmandu, BC and my personal sherpa made the greatest job for me I could expect. Thy were always stand-by to help me by special wishes. 
Thank you very much not only for the summit but also for the geniality and warmest hospitality.

It was my first trip to Nepal. Tons of thanks to Dream Himalaya Adventures for the great arrangement. The trip was really a wonderful one - magnificent views, passionate people, helpful crews etc. All constituted a wonderful memory of the exploration. I have no reservation in recommending the service of DHA for my friends.
