Thank You Ganga and Balaram for your arrangements of the best trekking journey I have ever undergone! Finished with the Everest View Trek fairly recently in the early days of March, I had the pleasure of undergoing the trek with one of the most efficient travel agencies that I had the pleasure of dealing with. Without delay, all of the schedule times were taken care of and I had no delays whatsoever. From my landing at the Tribhuwan International Airport to my flight to/from Lukla, Baban our guide was there every step of the way. Ganga was also most profound in answering and clearing up the queries and the questions I had beforehand, and was also available to me during the trek as well. From arranging the porters to the complimentary equipments of sleeping bags and Down Jackets, Nepal Hiking Team provides the best services.
As a solo traveler, I had requested for a group trekking and Balaram arranged it for me. It made the trekking journey even more fun and enjoyable than it was bound to be. The services that I was given was up to par with the best. Thank you Nepal Hiking Team for an incredible trekking experience!

The nine day duration of the trek package perfectly aligned with my schedules for my visit to Nepal. With quick arrangements with Balaram, my trekking journey was assigned in a very professional yet quick way. I had wanted a private trip and I was provided the service of porter and my guide as well. Porter was very good and kind and my guide, Prakash, handled all of the accommodation and transportation part in a brilliant way without me having to face any problems at all. The trekking journey went very smoothly and I enjoyed the trek greatly. The lovely mountains and the Himalayan air made everything beautiful and I know that I am going to miss those sceneries of the villages and of the land very much. Nepal Hiking Team made this trip possible for me and I would like to thank everyone involved in the trip from Balaram and my guide Prakash to the other team and staff members who made it a reality!

The Everest View Trek had some wonderful sceneries. I and my family had undergone the trek as it was a relatively moderate trekking journey. Removing the strenuous trekking work, Everest view Trek has an easy trekking trail that my family had no problem undergoing. The views of Mount Everest from Tengboche and from Namche were incredible! Greeted at the airport so warmly by Ganga, my family was well taken care of by Arun and Baban who accompanied us throughout the journey as well. The Tengboche monastery was amazing and I really enjoyed the spiritual atmosphere of the temple. Exploring Namche Bazaar and the Sherpa Culture Museum and the national art Gallery was a memorable experience.
Good work with the meals as well, I must say! With the option of both vegetarian and non vegetarian meals, my family had plenty to choose from. The lodges were comfortable to stay at and weren’t too crowded. Overall, a wonderful service was provided by the team and the cordialities of Ganga made the trekking journey ever more profound for us. We are thinking of coming back to Nepal in the late Septembers again for another visit and we are most definitely going to go with Nepal Hiking Team again!
