Breathe Nepal Trekking Reviews 

We have trekked with Breathe Nepal Trekking several times over the past 10 years, and every experience has been fantastic. We first met Roman when we booked our Annapurna Base Camp trek, and we have returned to Nepal several times since. Each trip has been well organised, but what keeps us coming back is the people. Roman and his team genuinely care about their guests, and you never feel like just another booking.
The guides are knowledgeable, friendly, and always happy to share their culture and local knowledge. We also really appreciate that Breathe Nepal Trekking is a local company that looks after its guides and porters and supports local communities. Everything has always run smoothly, from planning the trek to the final day. Even when plans needed to change because of weather or other circumstances, Roman handled everything calmly and professionally. After trekking with Breathe Nepal Trekking multiple times, we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Nepal. If we return for another trek, they will be our first choice again.

If you’re thinking about trekking in Nepal, don’t hesitate to book with Breathe Nepal. From the beginning, they made everything easy, and we felt well looked after throughout the whole trip.

Our guide, Roman, is a local guide from Pokhara, and he was amazing. His English is excellent, and he has a real passion for sharing Nepal’s culture, history, and the stories behind the mountains. He wasn’t just guiding us—he helped us truly understand and appreciate the places we visited.

We always felt safe, supported, and welcome, and the experience was so much more than just a trek. It felt personal, authentic, and unforgettable.

Whether you’re planning a multi-day trek or just a short hike, I can honestly recommend Breathe Nepal 100%. They will make you feel comfortable, take great care of you, and help you create incredible memories in the Himalayas.

I did Poon Hill + Mardi Himal trekk with Lila as a guide and I can't be more pleased with the experience.

He could organize everything according to our preferences because he knew really well the area, the tea houses, the people and the paths. We created the itinerary together and he was absolutely flexible about any matter we suggested. I fully trusted him and knew I was in good hands, even if I was a bit scared about feeling sick due to altitude sickness (which never happened). He was supportive and kept motivation high, even in the hardest moments.

Walking with Lila gave me lots of insights about Nepali culture, wildlife, weather, traditions and even language! I learnt some Nepali sentences which I could use to interact with people. Such a beautiful experience! THANKS

I did 2 treks through Breathe Nepal Trekking, one multiday and one day trek. Highly recommend the great organization and supportive nature of Roman (as well as my guide Bishnu of my multiday trek in the Annapurna Circuit). They are amazing and extremely helpful before and during the treks. Great moments, and memories! Would definitely go back to them whenever coming back to Nepal.

Trekking the Mardi Himal was a life changing experience, having Roman and his fantastic team guide and support us made it truly exceptional. Their knowledge, dedication, and kindness are second to none. Getting up close and personal with those majestic mountains, feeling their scale, their silence, their presence, was unforgettable, and Roman’s team made every moment feel safe, meaningful, and deeply rewarding. They turned an already beautiful journey into one of the best experiences of our lives.

I went solo on my first trek up to the Annapurna Base Camp in 2015, a few months after the earthquake and tourism was greatly diminished - so no issue getting a bed in a tea house along the way. At the ABC lodge I met Kumar, turns out he was guiding another lady, but he was so helpful and personable at first I couldn't tell if he was a fellow trekker or a guide. By happen stance, on my way down I ended up spending the night in the same tea house where he and his client were, then tagged along with them the final portion the next day. Trekking with Kumar was like being with a good friend, though we had just met. So when I decided to take my son and daughter on the ABC trek some time later, I immediately knew Kumar was the the one to lead the way. However he was already booked, so sent his son Nino with us. Nino did an amazing job guiding the three of us where we spent New Years day at the top. When I return, I'd love to do the Millennium Trek with Breathe Nepal, one that combines a cultural home-stay experience which incorporates participating in daily rural life (and home cooked meals!) with trekking in the amazing scenic terrain and culture of Nepal. I loved the fact that both Kumar and Nino were able to shift schedules and plans along the way to tailor to their clients needs - different from guides who were signed on with larger agencies who were committed to keeping the exact route and schedule which had been booked and unwilling to make changes mid-route.

This was my first trekking to Nepal ABC. Roman gave me a detailed explanation of the trekking and I adjusted schedule accordingly. I am so happy for his advice and prompt responses.
Because I am a photographer which has heavy equipment, having both guide and porter. Yam and Gopal are my guide and porter. They are experienced and supportive for my journey. We had good time with good chats.
My trekking was delightful having good spirit and happiness.
I strongly recommend Breathe Nepal trekking if you are considering Annapruna area trekking.

Beyond the Monsoon: An Unforgettable Annapurna Circuit with Breathe Nepal
We really wanted to trek in Nepal, but we initially ruled it out because our only window was August. We were worried about the monsoon, but the team at Breathe Nepal encouraged us to go anyway. They explained that the Annapurna Circuit, due to its height and geographical position, lies largely in a rain shadow area, meaning significantly less rain.

They were spot on! We were incredibly lucky: almost no rain (just a couple of nights and some light drizzle one day). We didn’t see a single leech, and we enjoyed stunning views of the peaks. The temperatures were very pleasant, and the trails were nearly empty. We shared the path with the same small group of people throughout, making some great new friends along the way.

Logistics & The Journey:
Breathe Nepal organized all the logistics perfectly. Since there are no domestic flights during this season, we traveled in private jeeps. It’s important to know that the roads are in rough shape and the journeys are long (12 hours on the first day!), but the upside is seeing the country up close: the rainforest, waterfalls, children walking to school, and the breathtaking evolution of the landscape.

Trekking Highlights:
The variety of landscapes is brutal—from lush rainforests to the high-altitude challenge of the Thorong La Pass at 5,416 meters. The early morning views of the Annapurnas were deeply special. We also loved the trek from Muktinath to Jomsom, with spectacular views of Dhaulagiri and the legendary strong winds upon arriving in Jomsom.

Our Guide:
Our guide, Kabindra, was very attentive and always made sure we had everything we needed. A huge "thank you" to him for playing a basketball game with me at 3,600 meters—an experience I’ll never forget!

A Note for Experienced Mountaineers:
As we are experienced mountaineers, there were moments where we felt our guide was a bit over-protective, which limited our freedom of pace. Since we are well-acquainted with high altitudes and how our bodies react, we occasionally had to push for itinerary changes or skip planned breaks to suit our rhythm. While we understood his focus was safety, we preferred a bit more autonomy.

Overall, it was a trip where everything went right, and we will remember it forever.

I had a fantastic experience with Roman on the Poon Hill trek in stunning Nepal. Everything was incredibly well organized from start to finish, which made the whole journey smooth and stress-free. Roman was very knowledgeable about the mountains, the nature, Nepali culture and we had some great conversations. The scenery was breathtaking and seeing sunrise over the Annapurna range is an incredible memory. I highly recommend Breathe Nepal to anyone looking for a great trekking experience!

We met Roman, our tour guide for the half day Pokhara trip. We booked the Dhampus /Australian camp trip with him straightaway. He is absolutely fantastic. Very hard working, very knowledgeable, down to earth & humble. He lives & breathes Nepal. He is very passionate about sustaining this beautiful environment.
The Dhampus/Australian trek was absolutely incredible. We had the most amazing views of the Himalayas. Kabi our guide was very knowledgeable & kind. We trekked to 2000m & he kept us hydrated & motivated. Our driver Ganes was extremely kind & accomodating. All in all - an incredible experience with Roman & his team in Pokhara. I will strongly recommend him /his company . Thanks Roman 🙏

Totally recommend Breath Nepal Trekking as your guiding company for the beautiful Annapurna region of the Himalayas. Roman was extremely helpful prior to the trip in relation to preparations and communicated well. The Mardi Himal trek of 6 days was the perfect duration and was breathtaking. Roman and his team were very professional, knowledgeable and simply couldn’t do enough to make the whole experience so memorable.

We booked our trek with Breathe Nepal Trekking based on a recommendation, and it turned out to be one of the best travel decisions we’ve ever made.

From the beginning, communication was smooth, friendly, and very reliable. Everything was well organized, but still flexible enough to fit our needs.

What really made the difference was the personal approach. It never felt like a standard tour. Our guide, Roman, was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. He made sure we felt safe and comfortable at all times, while also creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

We also really appreciated their values – it’s clear that they care about their team and support local communities, which made the whole experience feel more authentic and responsible.

Overall, this was a truly special experience that we will never forget. We can highly recommend Breathe Nepal Trekking to anyone looking for a genuine and well-organized trekking experience in Nepal.

Roman and his team made our trek perfect. Their attention to detail humour and kindness is fantastic. They look after you all the way making sure not to push you too hard and giving you choice all the way. You are in safe hands with Roman's team who are qualified and have many friends in the mountains. A wonderful experience.

Our third trek in 4 years with Breathe Nepal - this time 6 days to Mardi Himal. We organised a group of 12 from Australia, mixed ages and abilities. Roman and his team put together a great itinerary and selected lovely accommodation along the route to suit our mix of couples and solo trekkers. A few of us oldies opted for helpers to assist with our bags and these guys were incredible. The entire journey was magical and we were blessed with clear skies when it mattered. The Himalayas are a special place - made more so by the wonderful Breathe Nepal team ❤️.
