Nagarkot Hiking

I just completed trekking in Nepal together with another solo traveler. The service of Nepal Hiking Team was exemplary from the start till the end. Nothing beats word-of-mouth good reviews. 

Mr. Ganga has been very responsive to queries from Day 1 and was physically present even on the last day to officially close the loop for the package tour.

Our guide Bibek was very patient and sincere as he led us through the trek. He resolved issues with his heart and people skills and gave assurance whenever plans suddenly changed.

He ensured things were changed for the better. Our porter, Rajendran, was also good and always arrived ahead of time to ensure our rooms were confirmed.

We had the best time in Nepal. The beautiful views and warm hospitality of the Nepali people are truly unparalleled.

Instrumental to our amazing experience were our guide, Netra, and porter, Vasu.

We were super well taken care of. Netra was quick to assess our physical abilities and was able to effectively set the pace for our hikes. He had very good knowledge of the route and terrain. Importantly, this was our first time attempting a hike at a high altitude, so he took extra care to check on us regularly.

On a personal note, proper gear, including a powerful down jacket for -20 degrees Celsius and a proper hiking backpack, is super essential.

Overall, I would highly recommend the Nepal Hiking Team and Netra/Vasu for your Nepal adventure!

We were a group of 17 people from California who had been preparing for a year for this trip. Nepal Hiking Team was referred to us by one of my friends. After talking to & interviewing several companies, NHT seemed very responsive, cost-effective & experienced. After the trip, they proved us nothing less.

Their guides are top-of-the-line, very kind, and helpful. They made sure we all were prepared for the next day, set our expectations rights, & guided us through managing altitude sickness.

We all made it to Nepal and came back happy and healthy.

We all thank NHT for making our dream come true, and looking forward to many more with them.

June 2024, I did the Kailash Mansarovar Parikrama with Nepal Hiking Team (NHT). It was an amazing experience.

The management of NHT under Gangaji was perfect—from airport pickup, the entire trip, and drop-off back to the airport.

While waiting four days after applying for the Chinese Tibetan visa, NHT planned a local overnight practice hike to Nagarkot-Chisapani. This hike prepared us well for the Kailash Kora. We also got to experience Nepal’s National Park and the rustic village life. NHT arranged enough support staff to carry loads for those who needed assistance. Gangaji from NHT also organized an amazing Everest mountain view flight for interested members.

During the actual Yatra, NHT provided its own food truck and an experienced cooking team, carrying all essentials. We were served freshly cooked hot Indian vegetarian food every day. Thanks to the Dal-Bhat power, there were no food-related issues throughout the trip.

NHT’s Nepali lead guides, Arun and Gokul, were super helpful and had incredible energy. Even after an exhausting day of hiking, they were always available, ensuring everyone was settled and all arrangements were in place. Our Tibetan guide, Dawa Sherpa Dai, felt like a big brother—he shared so much knowledge about the region’s geography, rivers, and mountains during the road trip.

The hotels NHT booked for the road journey were relatively new and very good. They even planned packed lunch breaks at scenic locations, making the trip even more enjoyable.

During the four-day Kora (three days plus an extra Charan Sparsha day), NHT monitored oxygen levels at the end of each day. A few yatris had to turn back due to low oxygen levels, and NHT ensured their exit was handled smoothly. Some were also given the option of an SUV after descending Dolma La Pass.

Kailash Mansarovar Yatra was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I thoroughly enjoyed it with Nepal Hiking Team. Appreciate all your detailed coordination and support!
