About Us

We had an incredible experience with Nepal Hiking Team. The company was very easy to work with ahead of time - they were responsive to questions and made it easy to customize our trip. Once in Nepal, they went above and beyond to make our trip comfortable, including setting up hotel reservations, taxi rides, etc. 

The trek itself was an amazing experience. Our guide, Gokul, taught us so much about the region that we otherwise wouldn’t have learned, and was incredibly friendly and fun to be around. Gokul was very serious about ensuring the safety and comfort of our group while trekking. He also brought us to some spots that we otherwise would not have known to go to, including side trails and cultural locations.

Our porters, Basu and Deepesh, worked very hard throughout the trip to make it enjoyable for everyone. We all shared many laughs together and enjoyable conversations while trekking and in the guest houses.

I would recommend NHT and specifically Gokul, Basu and Deepesh to anyone who is looking to get the most out of a trek in Nepal. 

This was my second trek with Nepal Hiking Team, and yet again we were very impressed with the professionalism and very well-organized process from booking to completion.

We had Raj as our trek guide who was awesome and had a wealth of knowledge of all things about the trek, peaks, traditions, and the myriad of questions we threw at him. He was supported by two great porters Gokul and Bikash.

The trek is rated as medium, but as a group fit over 55’s, we would say this trek is tough. An endless supply of steps to ascend and descend but the views at ABC made it all worthwhile. May was a great time to trek as it’s not as busy.

Our experience on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek was truly extraordinary. We embarked on a 6-day trek with a helicopter ride back to Pokhara. Additionally, they arranged a helicopter tour to see Mount Everest, with stops at Kalapthhar and Gokyo Lake. The service provided by Nepal Hiking Team exceeded all our expectations. Ganga Ji demonstrated exceptional organizational skills, promptly addressing all our pre-trek inquiries and following up with a check-in call afterward. Dhurba, our guide, was absolutely fantastic, accompanied by Gokul and Aatish, our reliable porters.

Having previously completed the Everest Base Camp trek, I was familiar with challenging hikes, but it was my wife and 12-year-old son's first hiking adventure. Dhurba took it upon himself to hike with my son, as my son trekked at a faster pace while I stayed back with my wife. Throughout the journey, Dhurba consistently checked on us, ensuring our well-being. They encouraged us to hike at a comfortable pace, emphasizing the importance of enjoying the journey rather than rushing against the clock.

The accommodations provided in hotels and tea houses were exceptional, offering the best available options. Dhurba made sure that we enjoyed nutritious meals every day, ensuring we obtained quality sleep and proper recovery for the following day's hike. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend NHT for any hiking expeditions in Nepal or Bhutan.

Ever since I planned my trip to New Zealand with NHT, I've been really impressed. Ganga, who helped me with my questions, was super quick and always ready to help. It made me wonder if he ever takes a break! 

Upon reaching Kathmandu, the hospitality continued. My excellent guide, Bhim, greeted me at the airport and escorted me to the charming WoodApple Hotel, renowned for its delightful Aloo Ghobi. Bhim's exceptional planning made the journey to Lukla effortless. The trek itself was extraordinary, much owed to Bhim's deep knowledge of the area and the cheerful assistance of my porter, Bikkas. Without them, I doubt I would have ventured beyond Lukla, let alone reached the enchanting Everest Base Camp (EBC).

The accommodations and meals throughout the journey were outstanding. Bhim meticulously prepared me for each day's itinerary, ensuring I knew what to expect. Even when I altered my plans mid-trek, switching from the Chola Pass route, Bhim adapted everything smoothly, including rearranging my return flight to Kathmandu, all while maintaining his friendly demeanor.

I am immensely grateful to NHT, Ganga, Bhim, and Bikkas for their exceptional service, making this journey a cherished memory. Their professionalism and warmth have earned my highest recommendation, and I would gladly choose them again for future adventures.

Well, where to begin, we were a family of 4 ranging in age from nearly 30 to over 65 so this could have been an issue. However, Nepal Hiking Team ensured we were always prepared and able to do the challenging days along the way. We did 14 days of hiking and walked 204Kms and took 336,760 steps - if you believe my watch. We had a wonderful team without whom we would not have been able to complete the hike.

Head Guide and Captain of the team Visma was always looking after our needs and ensuring we started at the correct time to avoid wind, snow or rain in the evening and also kept us confident that we would be able for the days challenges and especially to cross Thorong La Pass. Our assistant Guide Gavinder kept a close eye on us and advised when to take water breaks and also saw we had enough to eat. We had two amazing porters who carried our bags over the entire route - including over the pass which was a serious physical challenge - they did this and always greeted us at our accommodation every night - well done to Kumar and Tuk, you were super. The tea houses exceeded our expectations and the food was always freshly prepared and they made sure my specific needs were catered for.

Yes, there were a few long days - one day we did 27Kms - thankfully much of it at lower altitudes. We didn't do the shortened route that is available using jeeps, we felt you have to do it start to finish! Following the flooding in Dubai our flights were completely messed up, in fact two of the party disappeared from the flight booking of Emirates and never reappeared this led to several visits to the challenging airport in Kathmandu - Visma turned up each time to help out, above and beyond the call of duty and after his role with us was well and truly over - such commitment.

Many thanks Ganga and your team.

My son Gabriel and I were delighted to have chosen Nepal Hiking Team for our unforgettable trek to Everest Base Camp. Our 17-day route took us through many beautiful natural sights as we followed the Dudh Koshi River towards Gokyo Lakes, crossing the river several times on suspension bridges. 

At Gokyo, a 4:30 am ascent of Gokyo Ri allowed us to view the sunrise over Everest and some of the most spectacular scenery we have ever witnessed. After Gokyo came the long and arduous ascent of Cho La Pass at 5420m and a crossing of the Ngozumpa glacier, which brought us back to the main EBC trail. 

We spent a night at base camp, a unique opportunity to interact with some climbers preparing to summit Everest. The accommodation in tea houses was spartan but perfectly fine, and the provided food was always tasty, nourishing, and plentiful.

A great big thanks goes out to Ganga for flawlessly organizing what was essentially a custom trip. Many thanks, too, to our peerless porter Jiban, who amazed us with his capacity to haul our duffel bags up the steepest of slopes—and always with a smile! But the biggest thank you must go to our guide and friend, Arjun, who ensured the trek went smoothly and ensured our well-being every step. 

I can’t comment on the many other companies that operate treks to EBC, but I can resolutely state that Nepal Hiking Team goes out of its way to ensure client satisfaction. I highly recommend NHT and would not hesitate to use them again.

This was my first holiday with the Nepal Hiking Team, and I trekked to Annapurna Base Camp with two of my friends in April 2024. The entire trip was fantastic, thanks to our guide Rajesh and porters Rabin and Budda, who were exceptional! They were incredibly thoughtful, friendly, and helpful. They took care of every detail and ensured our safety and enjoyment throughout the trek.

Ganga, the boss, was efficient in communication and excellent at making sure everything ran smoothly. Due to bad weather, we had to take a Jeep instead of a flight, but the well-planned and flexible itinerary accommodated our different flight schedules perfectly.

Everything was amazing! I would definitely recommend the Nepal Hiking Team to anyone looking to trek in Nepal.

We had an exceptional tour experience with the Nepal Hiking Team. Our trip was impeccably organized and seamlessly maintained.

Ganga Raj Thapa, the Managing Director of Nepal Hiking Team, was instrumental in planning our vacation. He worked closely with us to customize our stay in Nepal to suit our needs. We started with captivating sightseeing tours in the Kathmandu Valley and then took a scenic drive to Pokhara.

Throughout the tour, Ganga and Porter Yamu were incredibly supportive, sharing rich insights about the Annapurna Region, its culture, and the lifestyle of its people.

After trekking, we enjoyed a picturesque drive from Pokhara to Bandipur and then to Lumbini, where we indulged in a fascinating sightseeing tour. Our return to Kathmandu was equally well-prepared, and we gained a deeper understanding of Nepal's culture and people.

We highly recommend the Nepal Hiking Team for any trip to Nepal. You can trust them to take care of you, even if things don't go as planned.

From the moment we made our initial inquiry to customizing our trekking package, the Nepal Hiking Team was incredibly accommodating and always quick to provide any information or assistance we needed.

Throughout our entire journey—from the moment we arrived in Kathmandu, during the trek, and right up to our departure—the team at Nepal Hiking Team exceeded all expectations. They were not only informative and helpful but also warm and friendly, consistently going the extra mile to ensure our trekking experience was truly unforgettable.

We stayed at the Woodapple Hotel and Spa in Kathmandu before and after our trek, and it was a fantastic choice. The staff were welcoming and attentive, the hotel itself was beautiful, and the food was simply outstanding.

During our trek to Everest Base Camp, we were consistently impressed by the quality of the accommodations and the meals provided. Our guide, Paban, along with assistant guides Sabin and Nima, were exceptional—friendly, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to assist us.

Our overall experience with the Nepal Hiking Team was nothing short of extraordinary, and we’ll undoubtedly be choosing them for our future adventures.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Nepal Hiking Team. You don’t need to look anywhere else, the service is the best for hardly any difference in price in comparison to other companies. I met a family who was using them last year on the Everest Base Camp trek when I used a different company. After seeing the service and hotels they used last year that the family got, I decided to use Nepal Hiking Team myself for Annapurna Circuit.

Ganga is very informative and will give a detailed itinerary. He is also flexible if you want to make any small changes. For example wanting to fly back instead of a bus journey or extending the hiking trip by one day.

Our porter Kamal went above and beyond his role. He speaks very good English which is unusual for a porter and he has a wonderful upbeat and happy personality. He took our food order and prepared our fruit. Our last day was unexpectedly very cold and windy but he was a power horse with the two 15kg bags and his own back pack on his back.

Paban was attentive to our needs. He explained each day in detail and made adjustments when we had requests. For example, when we wanted to take a higher route one day rather than the itinerary that was given to us, he made changes without any hesitation. On the last day of Annapurna circuit the weather was brutal. He carried my day bag the whole day without any complaints and attended to my needs, passing me water and food when necessary.

When I come back again, I will use Nepal Hiking Team without a doubt and will request both Paban and Kamal. Thank you for a wonderful trip.
