Thanks to Utmost
I walked the Kathmandu Valley Trek in February 2010. All staff were highly professional & great company. The route was interesting & the staff knowledge very good. They are also very funny guys.
All accommodation was arranged by Utmost & of a very good standard. They also arranged a tour of Kathmandu to see Temples etc.
I have no hesitation to recommend Utmost to anyone. I even tasted their own cooking I live to tell the tale!

I got the chance to trekk with Temba around Annapurna for 15 days, it was an incredible experience, amazing mountain views, meet dozens of people on the way and had a lot of fun drinking some beers after long-day walking days and crossing the Thorung La at 5416m !!! The experience was unique and Subin and all the guys working in Utmost provided me with everything I needed and more. Absolutetly recommendable company and guides to trek around.

On this trip it is very important to have a good guide, and we were very happy with this tour. We have had a good feeling about the way he guided us and everything went safe and great. You can have a good trust in this agency they will take good care of you.

NEWS OF THE TREK-YOGA IN NOVEMBER 2008 (Ghorepani-Chhomrong Landrunk, PHED)
This is a first in Nepal and this combination trekking - yoga was seen as complementary physical effort required for the trek and stretch the body needed to start the next day in good shape. The breathing exercises (pranayama) were also recognized needed to climb the stairs Nepalese unforgettable.
An organization was needed among all partners (guide, porters, professor of yoga, head lodges and trekkeurs. The search for the most appropriate place to practice yoga, kindness and quick understanding of all stakeholders to meet the group made the 2nd day that everything was functional. Whether it's morning or evening tea was served at the best place was found despite the conditions not always usable and carpets were installed ready to receive our body a little "broken" by walking or night!
I particularly enjoyed the respect of the time, silence during the course of course, sharing and porters and cameraman who accompanied us.
The trekkers, beginners yoga students and the teacher's competence has been demonstrated by the attendance of the group. This practice news for the majority, is an awareness of his breath, all the exercises are made aware what makes the big difference with gymnastics.
The practice has been adapted to the days of walking and new emerging every day especially in pranayama (breathing exercises have made many laugh at times, forced laughter or whistling cobra). In 5 days the group has progressed and the first finding was that they had no aches (whew for these ugly Little pets who come to stay in the thighs and calves!) and better management of their breathing.
The "sun salutation" was to go in the second week and what pleasure, what emotion to greet the sun at the foot of the majestic mountains such as Machhapuchhare or Annapurna IV.
A beauty and richness found nowhere else. The old lodges, the absence of his small comfort, the difference of our cultures and practices can be forgotten and incurred when we know what we take offers free nature. Just open your eyes, breathe and fill with energy present and alive.
A big thank you to unitholders, the guide has not always been an easy job, the teacher of yoga for his competence, his attention and his humility and cameraman who followed us throughout this trek and is now a practitioner of yoga and all group members for their understanding in organizing this first-trek yoga, their participation and attendance.
We will learn from this experience to maximize the coming holidays to spend together.
Preparation of new treks-yoga is underway for spring 2009 in the region of Helambu, Langtang and Gosaikund 9-day walk. For this season the forests of rhododendrons are in bloom and walk among his trees roses (and yes in Nepal are trees) is a real renewal.
