Travellers‘ Reviews
Read our genuine feedback from past travelers with Nepal Hiking Team sourced from TripAdvisor, Google, Facebook, and Trustpilot.
Nepal is not just about the Mountains - see some other parts of Nepal
We finished our 14 day tour of Nepal, which involved a 5-day hike in the Annapurna region. This was truly an incredible trip if you want to explore all of Nepal. This tour took us off the beaten trails, letting us see sights that many travelers miss as they head straight to the mountains. For the trekking portion, we're glad we chose a 5-day trek instead of the full journey to ABC. Though we're avid hikers and have done overnight treks before, we felt that 5 days was the perfect amount. The Nepal Hiking Team did a fantastic job. Our guide and porter were wonderful, and each evening, they treated us to fresh fruit after dinner—a unique touch we didn’t see with other companies.

Most Amazing Experience!! Thank You, Dnes and Nepal Hiking Team!!
Oh my goodness, where do I even start? This was hands down the best tour I have ever been on. I am honestly finding it hard to put into words what a wonderful and moving experience it was.
My husband and I wanted to see Nepal for our honeymoon. However, we decided to explore it in a slightly less traditional way and opted for a city tour instead of a hike. We had the opportunity to see Nepal in-depth, and it was truly remarkable. We visited various parts of Kathmandu, including all the iconic temples. We also ventured to Chitwan, where we witnessed breathtaking rice fields, went on a safari, and even spotted rhinos and a tiger! Our journey took us to the city of Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, and finally to Pokhara, where we were captivated by the beauty of the lakes and the awe-inspiring Annapurna Mountain range.
Experiencing the beauty of Nepal in this way was an incredible gift that my husband and I will cherish forever. What made our experience even more magical was our amazing guide, Dnes. His passion and kindness were unparalleled, and he patiently answered all our questions, sharing with us a wealth of knowledge about Nepal's political history and the Hindu and Buddhist religions. Both my husband and I were deeply saddened when our trip came to an end, as we felt like we were leaving behind a lifelong friend.
We must also mention our wonderful driver, Krishna, who ensured our safety during the long drives on challenging roads.
The entire tour was impeccably organized, from our initial communication with the owner to the warm greeting we received at the airport upon our arrival. The accommodation and food were delightful as well. If you're considering this trip, do it! You won't regret it.

15 days best of Nepal tour
Professional, hardworking and friendly team. We were treated with care and concern. The director made effort to meet every single client at the start and end to make sure everything is fine. We had great guides too - Arun, Padam and also extremely friendly porter Mr Prim and patient driver, Thruba. Nepal is very beautiful although I have to say - the travelling can be a little frustrating due to the road conditions and delays. I will recommend to fly instead of driving between cities whenever possible for a more effective use of your time as it could take way more than the estimated given time when there are unexpected road works and road blocks.a The highlights for us was Poonhill, pokhara, chitwan, nagarkot and bhaktapur. We upgraded our accommodations to 5 stars hotels and was very satisfied with all the hotels arranged. The only thing i would recommend to change for the itinerary is to leave Palpa out and spend an extra day in other cities like Pokhara or Nagarkot instead to have higher chance of viewing the himalayas as the weather is quite unpredictable these days. We didn't get to see the mountains at all in the viewpoints while in Pokhara. Luckily, we got to see it in Poonhill during the trek at least. Nepalese people are very nice and cultured. I would very much like to come back again to support their tourism. And when the time comes, its highly likely that I will choose Nepal Hiking team again as the tour provider!

Wonderful Tour Experience with Nepal Hiking Team
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.
