I have been with many companies and guides over the world but the Himalayan Outback ranks at the top of my list. Many other trips I have been on one is just another client. The Himalayan Outback experience is different it’s a very personnel one, right from the enquiry to the tour itself.
I found the Himalayan Outback very flexible in the planning stage, they accommodated all our requests. Once on camp/expedition the service is five-star. I would have no hesitation in the future of taking my children. All the camping & rafting / safety equipment is of the highest quality available.
The guides & camp staff work extremely hard to make your trip a memorable one. We also found the Himalayan Outback had excellent relationships with the local villages, this is important because you are in there back yard. Over the last few years I have been on three expeditions with the Himalayan Outback and will be going again in the coming years. ~ Stuart Walker, UK
