Everest Base Camp Short Trek

Starting from the very beginning with my first communication with Mr. Ganga, I was met with a fast response that contained detailed information about the trek. Any other questions I had about the Everest Base Camp Short Trek were answered in the same professional and prompt way. I did the trek in late May and as a solo traveler, my biggest concern was about joining other people. With e-mails back and forth leading up to my arrival date in Nepal, Mr. Ganga had managed to arrange a group for me to join, despite its unavailability in the initial stages of our conversations. I am grateful to Mr. Ganga and all of the team members of NHT for arranging and organizing the trip for me, it was amazing and one of the best trekking experiences I have had. The accommodations in the mountains were comfortable; my guide made sure that the meals I was given was fresh and filling. Bhim, my guide, always went out of his way to make sure that I had no problems or discomfort of any kind. All of the formalities and various procedures that has to be followed while trekking, like the permits, the tickets at the national park and the guesthouse accommodation methods and the likes, were all taken care of effectively by Bhim. I didn’t worry about anything outside of my current thought bubble. My trek was trouble-free, well oriented and simply amazing. Definitely One of the best Agency, highly recommended.

Because of my limited time in Nepal, my first concern was the re-scheduling of my trip of the Everest Base Camp Short trek. But because of Balaram’s provision of care and Nepal Hiking Team’s flexibility, it was established earlier on that I would be getting a customized itinerary made that would suit my convenience. The fast and efficient exchange of information regarding the trip was done with relative ease and Balaram provided to me one of the best deals regarding the trip. Along with the customized itinerary, I was also given a good percentage of discounts for the trip, and for what it was worth, the services that were provided to me were all up to par.

As a solo traveler, I had wanted to be a part of a group, but because my trip was a customized one, the prospect of joining a group proved to be difficult. Nevertheless, my guide Prakash Rai accompanied me and as told by Balaram, I certainly did meet many number of travelers. Having one of my biggest concerns taken care of, the rest of my trekking journey went on with absolute ease. When I had to deflect some of the schedules, Balaram was available to me at all times. He took care of schedules and managed the accommodations and the flight.

Nepal Hiking Team is one of the best travel agencies that really went out of their way to help me with my trekking journey. Balaram, Prakash and the rest of the NHT team are the best people to deal with when it comes to efficiency and management and I am extremely impressed with their abilities and services.

The Short Everest Base Camp trek, in my opinion, is a good package for a reasonable price. I took the trip under this tour package with Nepal Hiking Team and immensely enjoyed my time with them. I loved the experience with them, and I should I choose to come for trekking in Nepal again, I would definitely go along with Nepal Hiking Team again! I familiarized myself with the guide as well, who accompanied me throughout my trekking journey, and we showed me wonderful villages and natural sceneries throughout the trek. The Everest base camp was very daunting, and I enjoyed every moment of the trek, with the snow and the people along the way, the wonderful temples and the monasteries that I visited.

The views of the mountains from the vantage point were astounding, and I loved all of the moments of my trekking journey. The villages along the way were so tiny, and the way of people along those settlements was nice to see and experience. I loved the typical Nepali village lifestyle that the people have in those places; it’s very peaceful, and winsome. Namche Bazaar was also great; I had a little detour to the museums of the place as well, and got a chance to visit the art gallery that it has. The views from Namche were wonderful, and the little trip to the Syangboche airport was quite nice. I liked all of the services that I got with Nepal Hiking Team and I was satisfied with my service and my experience with them. Highly recommended.

Thank you guys for making our holidays something special.

Best Regards

My husband and I did Annapurna and Everest Base Camp Treks Nepal Hiking Team. Ganga and his team members went out of their way to ensure we had a smooth and enjoyable trip and provided professional and excellent services (airport pickups, provision of city and mountain maps, goose-down trekking gear, relevant and useful advice, driver services, etc). We had regular contact with management throughout our time in Nepal (before, during and after trekking) and we always felt like we were in capable hands! We were even taken out for dinner and presented with EBC completion certificates upon arriving back in Kathmandu after trekking.

Our guide, Raj, was absolutely outstanding!! Not only was his great fun but he was also knowledgeable, kind and honest (this is very important as not all companies provide reliable guides – many will try to make a quick buck off tourists in the mountains whenever they can!) Our trek to EBC was incredible but the experience was made even better by having such a superb guide with us. Thoroughly recommend this company and requesting Raj if you can!

We are so happy with our experience with Nepal Hiking Team and are going to be recommending it to all of our friends who are interested in hiking to EBC. The guys at the Kathmandu office were really friendly, professional and extremely accommodating. They organized everything quickly and even had our guide, Raj, come to the office on call to meet us before we had agreed to do the hike with them. Once we booked, Raj took a few hours to take us around Thamel to buy ALL of our gear at an outlet store, saving us probably a lot more money and time than what we would have spent without his help. The whole trip Raj was extremely helpful and encouraging. We joked around and laughed the whole way up the hike which was really awesome when you’re tired from trekking! Our porter, Frame, was a sweet guy from the Lukla area who rarely talked but always had a big smile on. When we got back to Kathmandu the guys at the office made sure that everything went ok on our trip. Their service exceeded our expectations which made the entire hike just that much more enjoyable! NHT Highly recommended!
