Our guide, Lakpa, was amazing. With over 100 trips to EBC under his belt, he had lots of experience. He gave us great suggestions to make the most of each day and was very flexible, warm, and insightful. It was clear he cared about our health and enjoyment. Our porter, Sukra, was hardworking, polite, and a great help.
I’m really glad I added the Chitwan Park trip. It was a wonderful jungle experience with elephants, rhinos, crocodiles, and many birds. At first, I thought the price was high, but it was worth it. The accommodation was fantastic, like a resort with good food and great tour guides, right in nature. Just be ready for a long (5-9 hours depending on traffic) and bumpy but air-conditioned bus ride to and from Chitwan if you choose that option.
I would happily recommend Nepal Hiking Team and Lakpa to anyone and would definitely consider them again if I return to Nepal.
I was in Nepal for a short while for work, and during that short time, I had wanted to look at the cultural sites the city had. For that, I had contacted Nepal Hiking Team to see if they had the option of arranging short trips like I wanted. And, sure enough, they did. Not only that, they made sure I got the most for my experience as well. We started off with cultural sites around the valley that were listed on the UNESCO list. First was the excursion to the temple of Pashupatinath. Looking at the temples and the people gathered there, it was very enjoyable. Visiting the Bouddhanath Stupa, I rotated the prayer circles and sat and observed the religious atmosphere of the stupa. It was serene and lovely. The guide who was assigned to me seems to know a whole lot about the destinations and told me stories and history of the places. For a short trip of the destinations, I sure did end up learning and knowing a whole lot. Because of this, I really appreciate the services of Nepal Hiking Team. They truly outdid themselves at a short trip around the valley. This excursion to destinations and cultural sites made my short trip at Nepal a lot more than what I was expecting from a short conference for my work. The country is really beautiful, and even though the city is loud and crowded at times, the historical sites and cultural destinations must be well-preserved. After all, the excursion to these sites should be done by all. Nepal Hiking Team is a good travel agency who delivered on their service. For this, I now have a good impression of them and would definitely choose NHT for further travel needs of mine.
