Kathmandu and Pokhara Tour

Nepal Hiking Team organized an intricate 30-day custom holiday for me and a friend, two schoolmates now in our late 70s. We requested a journey that would take us up the Langtang Valley, then to Chitwan Nature Reserve, on to Pokhara, and finally to Poon Hill.

When booking a trip like this, there's always some concern about finding a trustworthy and reliable organization. However, those worries vanished the moment we arrived at our hotel in Kathmandu and were warmly welcomed by Ganga, our guide Ram, and our "porter." We were provided with travel bags, jackets, and sleeping bags.

It’s worth explaining that a “porter” here is an unbelievably strong Gurkha who can carry up to 50 kg of baggage up and down mountains and through rivers, using a simple piece of plastic webbing, often cut from a sack, supported on his head. Their incredible strength and skill often go unrecognized, but it left a lasting impression on us.

From the high quality of the equipment, it was immediately clear that we were dealing with a responsible organization that knew exactly what they were doing. This first impression was confirmed throughout the trip. Ganga was always reachable by phone to answer any questions and readily made adjustments to the schedule when we asked.

Our guide, Ram, was clearly an expert. During our Langtang hike, we faced severe weather and landslides, which destroyed bridges and the return path. While many were affected, Ram skillfully found a safe route back, involving a day of climbing above the landslides and half-sliding down an improvised path. Throughout the journey, Ram was always mindful of my age and prepared to support me if needed.

All transportation between locations was efficiently arranged, including a flight from Pokhara back to Kathmandu.

In summary, I highly recommend Nepal Hiking Team for a safe, reliable, and adventurous journey in Nepal.

My luxury escape to Nepal with Nepal Hiking Team was truly unforgettable. From the moment I booked my trip, their exceptional organization skills ensured that every aspect of my journey was taken care of, allowing me to fully enjoy myself. Our guide, Kumar Rupakheti, was incredibly knowledgeable and led us through the stunning cities of Kathmandu, Lumbini, Chitwaan, and Pokhara, ensuring we didn't miss any hidden gems.

I was impressed by the comprehensive package provided by Nepal Hiking Team, which covered meals, accommodation, and transportation. The top-notch accommodations, blending heritage and classic hotels, added a touch of luxury to my stay.

A highlight of the trip was the once-in-a-lifetime experience of a helicopter ride to Everest. Words cannot describe the breathtaking beauty I witnessed from above the world's tallest peak. It was a surreal and awe-inspiring moment that I will cherish forever.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Nepal Hiking Team for their impeccable service and attention to detail. Every aspect of the trip was meticulously planned, and their professionalism and dedication were evident throughout. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a luxury escape in Nepal.

In conclusion, my luxury escape to Nepal surpassed all expectations. From the excellent organization of Nepal Hiking Team to the knowledgeable guide, Kamar Rupacheti, every aspect of the trip was exceptional.

The accommodations were outstanding, and the helicopter ride to Everest was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I cannot thank Nepal Hiking Team enough for their exceptional service, and I enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking to explore the beauty of Nepal.

We had to make some last-minute changes to our itinerary, deciding to spend more time in Pokhara and less in Kathmandu during our final days. Nepal Hiking Team was super flexible and happily adjusted everything for us, even on short notice.

On top of that, we wanted to book some activities like zip-lining, bungee jumping, and a helicopter tour with local providers in Pokhara. Ganga, Hari, and the team took care of all the bookings and made sure we had everything we needed.

In the end, we had an absolutely unforgettable vacation in the stunning Nepal!

Nepal is incredible on its own—but Nepal Hiking Team makes it even better!

I highly recommend booking with them, and without a doubt, I’ll be using them again for any future trips to Nepal.

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!
