Annapurna Circuit Trek

Tom & Jacki, Australia I trekked with Nepal Hiking Team for the third time and as always it was astounding which could not have been possible without the superb services from NHT. Ganga and Balaram carried out an outstanding job guaranteeing everything is catered to make your trip go well. I experienced trekking with NHT in 2011 for the  first time and from the moment I reached at Kathmandu, throughout the trek - Gokyo RI, Kala Pathar, Cho La, and EBC, to the time I chose the team again in 2012 while trekking with my 12 year old son they were completely fantastic. On our 2012 trek, our professional guide DC Raj ensured a safe and successful trek to traverse Renjo La, Cho La, and then we also trekked again to EBC, Kala Pathar and Gokyo RI. Particularly, the safety measures were taken considering Max's young age. And, with years of experiences, NHT provided excellent moments to treasure with no problems at all. I have now, recently completed another successful trek with NHT. This time also Jacki and I have had an exceptional trek to the Annapurna Circuit which was proficiently guided by DC Raj. We are again planning our next adventure to the beautiful country - Nepal with Nepal Hiking Team as it looks after all our trip plans. I recommend NHT highly to anyone planning to spend their vacation in Nepal.

I can highly recommend the Nepal Hiking Team. I have booked through that company already 3 times and if I go back to Nepal I will book through Nepal Hiking Team again.

My first experience was in November 2007. I had booked a single trekking for Annapurna circuit. It was perfect organized, the guide was very professional, and spoke very good English. Guide and porter were well equipped which is in my opinion also very important. In April 2010 I had booked another trip through this company. I did a 20 day trip including Everest base camp, Kalapattar, Gokyo, and passing Chola pass. A single trek. Also this time I was completely satisfied. Again I had a very professional guide and you could tell straight away that he has many years of experience. The company is very professional. Guides seem to me as I had three times the experience all very professional and speak very well English and guides know the region very well. They are also very responsible and really take care for customers I cannot think of something that was not good or could have been better. For me it seems this is really a great company helpful responsible reliable very professional. One day I will go back to Nepal and there is no way that I would give a try to another company, because this one I had already 2 times an excellent experience. Jenny from Switzerland, if you have more question, you can contact me.

Eva, USA We had a really great and perfectly organized trip. Started with pick-up at the airport, drive to a nice hotel in Kathmandu (Moonlight Hotel, next to Thamel district), Kathmandu city Tour. The next day we were picked up by our guide Prakash who was really nice and fun (yeah Prakash!!). Our porter Ras was also great. Driven by private car to Besi Sahar, which is not usual, many companies let you go by bus. One advise: We would recommend starting the hike at Besi Sahar and saving you the "interesting" bus ride to Chamje. Everything on the trip was perfectly well organized. In fact, we had the impression we always got the nicest rooms at the guesthouses. Food included plus we always got fresh fruit for desert which they carried for us all the way. Had no problems with altitude sickness thanks to Prakash always making us eat garlic soup (not to nice but really helps) and making us do acclimatization walks all the time. Not to forget the nice surprise that he had for us at the pass: Gipfelschokolade (summit chocolate)! Flying back from Johmson, Prakash managed to get us onto the first plane which turned out to be the only one actually flying that day, the others had to stay on the ground due to bad weather. So we were among the few who made it to Phokara, the others had to wait a day. In Phokara we had a really really great Hotel. It was also no problem when we wanted to stay an extra day and asked them to pick us up (again by private car) a day later. Altogether, we had a really great time. Value for money was great. We'll definitely come back for EBC.

Jeff, North America Just got back from Nepal a couple of days ago, where my partner and I were doing an Everest Base Camp Trek assisted by Nepal Hiking Team. Their service couldn't have been better. I started planning this trip last Spring and looked at numerous trekking companies. Chose NHT due to the tremendously positive reviews on them, the professionalism of their website, and the quick response I got from Ganga when I sent an initial inquiry via their website -- he phoned me within a few hours, apparently as soon as the morning had come round to Nepal (given the time difference between North America and Nepal). He was extremely helpful and responsive from the start, all the way through the completion of our trek and the last couple of days back in Kathmandu. Our guide for the trek, Bhim, couldn't have been more helpful and took very good care of us and kept us safe. The whole operation and experience couldn't have been more positive.

Marcel, South Africa We recently returned from an EPIC trekking adventure to Everest Base Camp with the Nepal Hiking Team. Due to some time restraints we trekked on the cusp of the season, started our trek on 30th Aug, and returned to Kathmandu on the 10th of Sept, and what a great decision that was! The weather was amazing, we had most of the tea-houses to ourselves, our guides were on their first trip after the second wave of the covid 19. So it was great for them as well to witness everything as if for the first time. If you prefer a more 'quiet' trek, then I would recommend going on the cusp of the season! Our guide Raj of Nepal Hiking Team, did everything in his power to make the trip a most memorable trip and our wonderful porter who's name happens to be 'Love' totally lived up to his name! I cannot thank the Nepal Hiking Team enough for all their prep work, the guide's knowledge and caring for our welfare, and Ganga, the father of the group who personally met us at the airport and made sure that all our needs were met. What a great team, I highly recommend Nepal Hiking Team for your future Himalayan trekking!
