Mr. Thakkal Gurung

My family and I had an incredible experience trekking with Nepal Hiking Team, and we feel so lucky to have had Thakal as our guide. You can truly see how much care and pride the team puts into their work.

Thakal was amazingly knowledgeable, kind, funny, and full of heart. He was always looking out for everyone, making sure we were safe, comfortable, and enjoying each day. He shared so much knowledge about the mountains, local life, Nepali culture, plants, and animals. He also seems talented at everything, sharing songs on the drums, flute, and guitar, and even teaching us local dances!

Our porters, Ram, Sujan, and Nirjam, were just as wonderful always smiling, helpful, and full of positive energy, even after long days on the trail. We had so much fun with them. They are truly beautiful people, and we feel very lucky to have met them and shared this experience together.

Thakal also spoke highly of Ganga, one of the company’s owners, which was great to hear. It’s clear that the guides and porters are valued and supported by the company.

We couldn’t recommend them more amazing people, a great company, and an unforgettable adventure.

We had an unforgettable time in the Langtang Valley Trek with our guide, Thakal, and our porter, Basu. Thakal was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, patient, and always cheerful. He made the trek truly special.

Basu was amazing as well, always smiling and completely reliable.

We highly recommend this wonderful team, especially Thakal and Basu. Thank you Nepal Hiking Team for an incredible adventure to Langtang Valley!

I did the 14 day Annapurna Circuit trek with Nepal hiking team. Our guide Thakal was professional, knowledgeable, patient and kind, I felt safe and taken care of throughout our trek. Our porter Bipin was also excellent with a constant positive attitude and great sense of humor. I would highly recommend both Thakal and Bipin if you are booking with Nepal Hiking Team! Ganga was also very responsive and made booking and altering plans very easy.

Thanks Thakal and Bipin!

Our guide, Thakal, was just exceptional! His deep knowledge of the mountains and surrounding areas truly stood out. He led our group with expertise and care. I highly recommend him and the team!

A heads-up: Traveling through airports and getting to Lukla can be quite challenging due to unpredictable weather. It’s all part of the adventure, though!

While these delays are beyond the guiding company’s control, they did everything possible to manage the situation smoothly and keep things on track.

And Ganga? An absolute legend!
