What Our Clietnts' Say
“Happy Feet - a company you can trust where we are met with hearts of gold, people who will always greet you with a smile and go the extra mile for you. They are organized, trust worthy and skilled at what they offer. After 4 trips with them they have been a big part of my Nepal experiences and I will continue to return and recommend them.”
Yogita Bouchard, Nelson, BC, Canada
"I have used Happy Feet Travel's services several times. They are very professional and knowledgeable about everything. They have given me excellent service and experiences."
Robert Flagler, Minnesota, USA
“Happy Feet explained that there are some dates when entry to Tibet is simply not allowed. Having been made aware of this we avoided those dates and left everything to Happy Feet. We had an amazing tour in Tibet tailored to our needs.”
Neil & Libby Sutherland, Belfast, Ireland
“As an all-women expedition team shooting a documentary about female climbers, we had BIG goals of sponsoring a local climbing Sherpa and coordinating technical climbs of Island Peak and Ama Dablam. The team at Happy Feet were thorough, skilled and highly engaged partners on the ground. They provided incredible support and made our dreams a reality!”
Kim Couri, Seattle, Washington, USA
“Nepal stands out as one of the most memorable and transformative trips of my lifetime thanks to the great people who run or work for Happy Feet. All the details of our trip were managed leaving us to devote our energy fully to experiencing the stunning scenery, warm and gracious Nepalese people, and many small nuances in a foreign land and culture. A trip of a lifetime.”
Den Nelson, RosslandRO BC, Canada
“Just a note to thank everyone at Happy Feet Travel for awesome experiences in Nepal! The guides and staffs are wonderful people; very helpful, kind and attentive to the travelers’ needs, comfort and safety. In Nepal we have travelled with Happy Feet four times: the Sherpa Villages, Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Circuit and Bhutan. These are trips of a lifetime, and the mountains keep drawing us back. We whole heartedly recommend Happy Feet Travel to all our family and friends.
Thank you to everyone at Happy Feet.”
Loren and Nancy Wondrasch, Minnesota, USA
“Their name says it all. When you’re with them, you and your feet are HAPPY! Make your trekking arrangements with these guys and all you have to do is sit back and relax and they’ll meet you at the airport with a handmade Nepalese lei. Every detail of your trip will be done including any spontaneous request you may have. Great food, equipment and excellent locally trained staff. Have you ever had fresh baked pie or birthday cake at 4000 meters? You will with Happy Feet! And their service isn’t complete until you’re back on your plane. They’ll do what it takes to make your trip memorable and HAPPY!”
Phil Best, Nelson BC, Canada
“Nepal….do not miss visiting this amazing country. Full of beautiful, friendly people and the most stunning mountains you will ever come across on this planet. I have been privileged to visit Nepal twice under the expert and caring arrangements of Happy Feet Travel, a locally based company in Kathmandu.
I would also like to thank Happy Feet Travel for organizing amazing adventure to Bhutan. The Kingdom is largely untouched and with little influence from the western world, a country full of culture, history and nature. The flight into Paro is amazing!
Happy Feet Travel is the perfect company to arrange your personalised tailor-made holiday no matter how many people are in your travel party - pick your dates, locations, degree of difficulty. Whatever the experience is that you want in Nepal, just let them know. All arrangements can be made via email from wherever you are located in the world.”
Bette Andrews, Queensland, Australia
“I've travelled to many countries in the world, but without a shadow of a doubt, Nepal is the one country that has left its mark on me forever. From the moment you step off the plane, you will realise that you are in a country like no other.
I am not what you would call a super fit person, but I opted for the Everest base camp trek. It is the most rewarding thing I've ever done. Do not be put off attempting any of these journeys, just because you can't run a marathon.
A couple of unforgettable weeks later, I found myself sitting on the summit of Kalapathar looking down onto Everest base camp and up to the summit of Everest. I could hardly take in the beauty and the remoteness of where I was.
The staff and all the Nepali people I met on my journey could not have been more helpful and genuine. They left me feeling very humble. If you are in any doubt, I can't emphasise enough how Nepal is an absolute must on your travel itinerary. You won't be disappointed.”
Roger Moore, Norfolk, England
"Last Autumn I did my first trek and visit to Nepal with Happy Feet and Dave Gluns. I live in Ottawa, Ontario and our biggest “summit” is 300 meters so I was anxious and felt ill prepared for the Peekye Trek. From the moment we stepped off the plane in Kathmandu we were welcomed and treated like Royalty by Happy Feet and their staff. The trek I cannot describe adequately, it was the most challenging and rewarding thing I have ever done. The views were spectacular and the Sherpa’s were very knowledgeable and willing to enlighten us along the way while they supported our trek and made it extremely enjoyable.
The worse day was the last as I was saddened the trek was over and I would miss the Happy Feet staff and Sherpa’s I had grown so fond of. After we returned to Kathmandu Happy Feet continued to be our resource and support while we vacationed in Phokra and until we said a sad goodbye at the airport. I would trek with Happy Feet every year if I could, (If Cupcake would let me :( ...) and am looking forward to my next journey so I can build on the incredible memories of this journey. This was the BEST time of my life."
Brenda Sumners, Ottawa, Ontario
"As this was my first visit to Nepal, everything was new and somewhat overwhelming. Distances are great and roads busy, so unless you are a highly experienced backpacker, I recommend going with a specialist travel company. On the tour I took, nothing was too much trouble. The group was small and arrangements were thoughtful and professional, right down to the snacks and bottles of cold water provided in the mini-bus. When we were in Kathmandu the guide arrived early and was late to leave, attentive until the end. While on tour, he would hop off the mini-bus, wheels still practically spinning, to ensure that everything was in place and nothing left to chance. Special requests were granted whenever possible. We visited temples and museums, stayed deep in the jungle and high up in the Himalayas, with safaris at the first destination and spectacular sunrises at the second. The choice of hotels was excellent, with something individual and out-of-the-ordinary about each one. The Nepalese people themselves are gracious and charming, always smiling even in adversity. I cannot recommend this beautiful country and its fabulous travel company more highly."
