I’ve had the privilege of trekking with Deepen Paudel on two unforgettable journeys- the Annapurna Base Camp in 2022 and the Annapurna Circuit in 2023. His expertise, calm decision-making, and deep knowledge of the Himalayas made both treks extraordinary.
Deepen’s crew was incredible, strong, kind, and endlessly hardworking. From carrying our duffels with ease to capturing candid moments, serving hot meals, and offering support when we needed it most, they brought warmth and care to every step of the journey.
What sets Deepen apart is his ability to combine professionalism with a personal touch. He leads with empathy, plans with precision, and assembles a team that feels like family. If you’re dreaming of exploring the Nepalese Himalayas, Deepen is the guide you need. He’s more than just a trek leader; he’s a mentor, a friend, and a source of support on the trail. It’s been my absolute pleasure to trek with him, and I wholeheartedly recommend Jolly Himalaya Adventures to anyone looking for an extraordinary Himalayan experience
Thank you, Deepen, for the memories, the inspiration, and for making me leave a little piece of my heart in the Himalayas every time. Here’s to many more adventures!

This was my second hike with Deepen’s company Jolly Himalaya. My first was Langtang. Deepen works hard to keep everyone in good spirits even when one is tired. Our group of five women ages 45-55 were lucky to have him and his assistant as our guides. He booked all our tea houses and our food was fresh and healthy. He walked with one of my friends who was struggling on a couple of days and he carried her backpack. The added bonus is that he takes excellent photos and videos of the group. I highly recommend Jolly Himalaya and deepen.

“I must say that NEPAL is a heaven on earth. Once I fixed my mind to trek to Annapurna Base camp, I was looking for a nice guide to accompany me for the trek. I met some guides who I found on the internet and I was disappointed and felt hopeless after having conversations with them.
Some time passed away and I finally met Deepen Paudel, a sweet gentleman through a friend of mine from Kathmandu. We had conversations about the trek and we scheduled our trek. His tariffs are affordable too. We left for Pokhara the next day. We Did Annapurna Base camp Trek via Poon hill. He helped me to save the extra pennies in many places by speaking with the shopkeepers in Nepali. In Pokhara, he helped me to get the trek permits and the legal works for the trek.
We had 13 days together on the trek in winter. It was freezing cold and the whole mountain is deserted due to Covid. We had a fun time together we trekked together and we discussed cultures, life, and whatnot. Deepen is a helpful person by nature and it was not like I was trekking with my guide, I felt like I was trekking with my childhood buddy.
My trek was beautiful and enjoyable because of Deepen. I will recommend him to anyone. He is knowledgeable, experienced, hardworking, and easygoing. More than a tour guide, he will be your best buddy. Eagerly waiting to go to Nepal again and plan my next trek with him.” ~ Roshan Raj, Tamilnadu, India

“Deepen was an excellent guide during my trip to EBC in 2019. He took really good care of our group of four and made sure that we all made it to our destination and back to Kathmandu safely and in time. He is very knowledgeable about the routes, about the culture of Nepal and answered all my questions with a lot of patience. Whenever he saw one of us struggling, he insisted on carrying our backpacks so we could walk with more ease. I would recommend Deepen highly for your next trek to Nepal.” ~ Ritu Kapur, Boston, USA

Deepen and his team of guides & Sherpas helped us navigate and enjoy the incredible vistas of the Langtang valley. He made sure each member of our group had a memorable experience. Highly recommend Jolly Himalaya for anyone looking to explore new trails!

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek was the adventure of a lifetime! The breathtaking views of the Annapurna massif left me speechless at every turn. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing insights about the local culture and the flora and fauna along the trail. The teahouses were cozy, and the food was delicious. Reaching the base camp and witnessing the sunrise over the mountains was truly a spiritual experience. I highly recommend this trek for anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature and adventure!
