Traveller Review

  • Narasipura Family ABC Trek

    Dear Ganga and the entire team,

    We, Narasipura family would like to thank you and your team for making once in a lifetime experience possible. All three of us loved every minute we spent in the Himalayas and Nepal. After my EBC trek, I wanted to experience Himalayas again with my family. Your team made it possible.

    Every day, we knew what to expect because Paban explained us on previous evening and in the morning. In seven days, we trekked in the lush green forest, saw numerous waterfalls, were inside the clouds, refreshed ourselves in the river and stream water, took multiple breaks with tea, coffee.

    Even though it was very hard, especially from 3rd to 5th day, we managed to get over the fatigue to continue because of Paban, Gokul and Ganesh’s help and encouragement. They used to tell us to take it easy (Aaramse jayenke) then we can do it, no need to rush. Paban modified the plan/itinerary based on the time of the day and our physical condition. We always ended the day before 5pm. Paban was flexible and booked the best teahouses, he made our trek very enjoyable. On fourth day, we were scheduled to trek to Upper Sinuwa. He changed it, we stayed at Lower Sinuwa. Because of 4th day’s change of plan, he modified fifth-day trek too.

    Every day, as soon as we woke up, we started off with a hot cup of coffee or tea, they served to us without fail. Enjoying first few minutes of the day looking the sunrise in the mountains with a hot drink was so peaceful and relaxing. At the end of every day, we had fun, talking, playing cards, and having delicious dinner with fresh fruits as dessert. It was a beautiful experience. Paban, Gokul and Ganesh treated us royally and with respect, we are grateful to them.

    Spending last two days of our trek in the Machapuchare and Annapurna basecamps were a bliss, surrounded by the Annapurna mountain range was just amazing, and unbelievable.

    On the last day of the trip, we loved the cultural tour of the three cities, we were mesmerized by the artwork.

    Hope we can come back and enjoy Nepal again.

    We appreciate everything you did for us to accomplish our dream trek.

  • Everest Base Camp - May 2023

    Nepal Hiking Team is an excellent agency. Their trips are really well organized and taken care of. We had no complaints from the beginning to the end because they managed the trek professionally. In the front, the emails were answered very promptly and in the best way.

    We did the Everest Base Camp Trek in a small group, and all had a fantastic time. Our guide and porters were kind and made us feel like a family, always smiling and ensuring we were feeling well. I felt like I was in good hands. I enjoyed joking, laughing, and playing cards with the team.

    It was such a memorable and great experience. This will always be one of my fondest memories. Thank you, NHT, for making my trek a great one!

  • Life memory trek in EBC in May 2023!

    We had a fantastic experience on our Everest Base Camp Short trek with Nepal Hiking Team in May 2023. Before the trip, we were in contact with Ganga, who was incredibly responsive and patient in answering our questions. She was also accommodating in making arrangements for our flights and accommodations.

     

    Our guide, Paban, was incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. He was always happy to answer our questions about the region's culture, geography, and history. He was also accommodating in ensuring that we were safe and comfortable throughout the trek.

     

    We were lucky to have excellent weather for the entire trek. The views of the Himalayas were breathtaking, and we could reach Everest Base Camp without any problems. We both felt that we were well prepared for the trek, thanks to the support of Nepal Hiking Team.

     

    We highly recommend Nepal Hiking Team to anyone interested in trekking to Everest Base Camp. They provided excellent customer service, knowledgeable guides, and great weather. We had a truly unforgettable experience!

    Here are some additional details about our trip:

     

    • We started our trek in Lukla, a small town in the Khumbu region of Nepal.
    • We hiked for 14 days, covering a total distance of about 100 kilometers.
    • We saw some of the most spectacular scenery in the world, including Mount Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse.
    • We stayed in comfortable lodges along the way, and our meals were delicious.
    • We made some great friends on the trek, and we all had a wonderful time.

     

    We are so grateful to Nepal Hiking Team for making our Everest Base Camp trek possible. It was an unforgettable experience that we will cherish forever.

  • Everest Base Camp Heli Shuttle Trek

    We had an absolutely incredible experience trekking to Base Camp. We are two guys who are in decent, but not great shape, but we found the trek very doable, especially with the help of our experienced guide, Paban. We would have gotten nowhere without our incredible porter, Sujan.

    Both Paban and Sujan helped us keep pace, showed us all the best views, and were great company along the way. By the time we reached Base Camp, I can easily say we were all good friends and shared a lot of laughs along the way.

    Our trip encountered some weather problems as we were supposed to fly from Gorak Shep to Lukla via helicopter, but the clouds were too thick to travel through. So, we contacted Gunga, figured out a good plan to get down the mountain in time for our flight out of Kathmandu, and rescheduled our helicopter to take us directly from Phakding to Kathmandu. This was a huge help for our travel plans. We can't thank the Nepal Hiking Team and Gunga enough for their amazing experience and accommodating nature.

    I highly recommend Paban and Sujan to any trekkers who are going soon, as they were impeccable in every way. We can't wait to come back when Sujan is a full guide himself.

    When I come back to climb to the peak of Everest, I will definitely be rebooking with the Nepal Hiking Team. I can't wait to return to Nepal. It's a 10/10 experience for me.
