Everest Base Camp Heli Trek

Benjamin VanceAUSTRALIA

The Everest Base Camp Heli Trek was suggested to me by Nepal Hiking Team and I am so glad that I went ahead with it. It was a very good experience and I loved the fact that the journey is a combination of trekking and a helicopter ride! For the initial

part of the journey, I loved my trek through the villages and enjoyed the sights of the mountains from the trekking path. But the view of the Himalayas from the helicopter is something else entirely! It is one of the most awe-inspiring things in the entire trek; I didn’t wanted the helicopter ride to end! The transportation, the guesthouse arrangements, the meals and everything else were very effectively arranged and organized; I had no problem during the trek. I was able to enjoy the beauty of the mountains without having to worry about anything else thanks to the impeccable organization and planning of Nepal Hiking Team. Thanks to them, I had a good time and felt like I got my money’s worth. They are the best at what they do and it really shows in the work that they put out. Thank you Nepal Hiking Team for a beautiful vacation!

We experienced Everest Base Camp trek, with our 11 year old son. Without any hesitation Nepal Hiking Team arranged amazing family trekking with a child and made the whole experience really memorable as well as easy. Everything was organized perfectly

as we dealt with Ganga and his team who boosted our confidence day by day.

During our planning and booking stages, we were really impressed by the timely and detailed contact from Ganga. Upon arrival in Nepal, we met him and his team and started our trek, we were really impressed by the experience, knowledge imparted, care as well as attention given by our guide- Bal Kumar demonstrated.

The whole team was proactive and was much concerned about our every situation as well as needs and made us feel that we were trekking as a family. We are owed to trek with professional and a highly experienced team. I would recommend Nepal Hiking Team heartily and without hesitation.

We have just returned from an incredible two weeks in Nepal, and a lot of that praise goes to Nepal Hiking Team. It was our first time in Nepal (in fact, our first in Asia in general), so the experience was always going to be very novel and strange for

us, but from the off NHT made the transition into a different culture so smooth and organic that we felt fully comfortable from the off.

A few months before we left, I was in contact with Ganga, the main man at NHT. He is incredibly on the ball and organized, often replaying my inane queries in minutes with clear, concise answers which put my mind at ease. We had planned to walk to Annapurna Base Camp, and Ganga helped in customizing our plan to add in an extra night in the city of Pokhara, coincidentally during Nepalese New Year, which led to a very memorable evening.

We spent our first day in Kathmandu touring around a range of Hindu and Buddhist temples with our guide Kumar whose relaxed and knowledgeable approach made our first day in a chaotic city much more comprehensible and enjoyable.

For the trek itself, we were put into the very capable hands of our guide, Dhurba, and our porter, Sagar. Dhurba was brilliant throughout, sorting us hotel rooms with wonderful views (I'll never forget the south face of Dhaulagiri from our top floor hotel room in Ghorepani) and assisting us with daily food orders (breakfast, lunch and dinner were provided for most of the trek) and just generally being a fantastic person to be around. We learned a lot about Nepalese customs, flora, fauna and, importantly for us, exactly which mountains we were looking at. Dhurba in general, was a treat to be around and we would have no hesitation in asking for him when we return to Nepal.

Just returning from a very memorable 7-day Khopra Ridge circuit trek organized with Nepal Hiking Team which we took with our two teenage sons 17 and 19 years old. Summary - No need to look further for another trekking company!

In my opinion, a top

intro to hiking in Nepal with breathtaking up-close views of both the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges on the tourist „road less traveled“. You will see and experience the beauty of Nepalese high altitude trekking at up to 3700m, which made altitude sickness no issue for our family. The trek is started on easy daily sections until followed by moderate hiking days which lead to the treks highlighting Dobato with Mulde peak and Khopra community lodge. We were walking through mountain forests with richly blossoming rhododendron trees and through quaint alpine communities. This a definitive contrast to Ghorepani Poonhill which you touch on the last day of the trek with many more people going that route. TIP: If you want more challenge ask for (weather permitting) inclusion of either Hidden Lake or up Khopra Ridge which will take you over 4000m.

Our guide Uttam, assistant guide Bipen, and the porters Anish and Sabin cared for us all along the way and provided for a most pleasant, fun cultural experience. They helped and pampered. Uttam kept us safe all along and well in the range of our physical abilities with breaks, organizing and managing our small company, and briefing and debriefing each day. It’s also an up-close look into the friendly culture of the Nepalese with singing, dancing, freshly cooked meals, and just nice conversation to learn about the people and how they live.

All accommodations are lodges clean, with good standard food, clean, higher up simple, and don’t expect a hot shower every day in these regions.

Ganga and Bilaram at the head offices make planning easy with appropriate suggestions, clear communication, and swift responses when questions arise or adjustments need to be made. You can expect full service from planning to arrival to the actual trek to departure. The brief and debrief before and after each trek so not only your experience is explained but they also look for feedback in order to improve the service.

An overall eight thumbs up from our family!!!!

We are just back (in Australia) from 3 weeks in Nepal. The itinerary was organized by The Nepal Hiking Team, a Nepal-based company recommended to us by friends in Brisbane. And what a good recommendation it was! The company is professional, efficient,

and flexible - exactly what one hopes for. During the 3 weeks, we did a 10-day trek, visited Pokhara and Chitwan National Park and spent a few days in Kathmandu. Ganga and his team organized the itinerary (tweaked it as required), booked the hotels, organised the transport (private driver). All worked very smoothly.

The highlight of the trip was the Langtang Heritage Trail, which included 5 days trekking between villages at an altitude of ~2500m and then joining the Langtang Valley trail. For the trek we were joined by a friend from Australia, and had a guide (Puru, more on him later) and 2 porters. The trek was challenging, at least for us with an average age of 60, but extremely rewarding. Puru (short for Purusottam) was superb as a guide and source of information. He paced each days perfectly and no effort was spared to maximise our enjoyment and comfort. If/when required, he took over the kitchen of the various places we stayed at, to cook us a hearty breakfast or tasty Dal Bhat for lunch. He also expertly guided us on the very challenging climb up (+ down!) the 5000m high Tserko Ri mountain on our "rest day".

Overall, this was a most satisfying introduction to Nepal for us and we can fully recommend the Nepal Hiking Team.
