Reviews

We recently completed the Everest base camp trek with the Nepal Hiking Team, which was recommended by others who had previously trekked with the company.

Initial contact with the company instilled confidence in efficiency, as any concerns about the trek were responded to quickly with solutions and recommendations.

Our adventure was enhanced by the guides and porters who were exceptional in getting us to our destination.
Kishna, the lead guide’s knowledge of the surrounding mountains and the different areas we trekked through, which was informative and gave us an insight into the culture and way of life of the communities living on the way up to EBC.

Both Shree Krishna and Sabin kept the group going with their TikTok dancing and sense of humour, nothing was a bother to them, particularly ensuring that the tea houses, although at times were very basic, were adequate to put your head down at night.

The two porters who did an amazing job were so nice, with a constant smile managed to get our belongings to each tea house prior to us arriving.

Thank you, Shree Krishna, Sabin, and the two porters; you helped to make our adventure memorable.

This Is Me – The Journey of The Unlikely Hiker Through the Manaslu Circuit with Nepal Hiking Team

“I am brave, I am bruised, I am who I’m meant to be—this is me.”

As The Unlikely Hiker, I never saw myself conquering one of the most challenging high-altitude treks in the Himalayas. But thanks to the incredible support of the Nepal Hiking Team—and the unwavering encouragement of my exceptional guide, Yubraj—I achieved what once felt impossible: completing the Manaslu Circuit and crossing the mighty Larkya La Pass.

This wasn’t just a trek. It was a journey through remote villages and deep valleys, under the gaze of Mt. Manaslu, where Tibetan culture breathes and nature roars. The Manaslu Region—untouched, sacred, raw—is a place that transforms you.

And I was transformed.

From the very start, Yubraj made sure I felt seen, safe, and never alone. He never once complained about my pace, even when I took a record-long time to cross the pass. He carried soft drinks for me through isolated villages just to help me stay energized—because he noticed that small thing helped, and he cared enough to make it happen.

There were moments when I wanted to give up. When the altitude hit hard and the doubts crept in. “When the sharpest words wanna cut me down, I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown ‘em out.” And I did—because I wasn’t doing it alone.

Yubraj and the Nepal Hiking Team marched beside me—step by step, without judgment. They understood the mountains, yes—but more than that, they understood people. They knew how to listen, how to encourage, and how to lift someone higher than they believed they could go.

“Look out ‘cause here I come, and I’m marching on to the beat I drum. I’m not scared to be seen. I make no apologies—this is me.”

As The Unlikely Hiker, I want to say this to anyone out there doubting themselves: You belong here. In these mountains. In this story. The Manaslu Region is not just for the strong, the fast, or the fearless. It’s for anyone with a dream in their heart and the courage to take the first step.

Nepal Hiking Team made my dream come true—not just by guiding me through the Himalayas, but by helping me believe I belonged there in the first place.

This is me.

This is us.

This is the magic of trekking with Nepal Hiking Team.

With endless gratitude,

The Unlikely Hiker

Second trip with Nepal Hiking Team. All correspondence was excellent right from the beginning. Hotel Woodapple in Kathmandu was great. Special mention to Rewanta Basnet and Mann, they were both fantastic company throughout the long journey and worked hard to keep us on track.

Rewanta went out of his way to get us the best accommodation at each teahouse. We had plenty of time every day to relax, take photos, and enjoy lots of laughter along the way.

At Khare, Rewanta made sure I had the best guide to take me up to High Camp and on to a successful summit. A special shoutout to Lakpa Sherpa from Hotel Mountain View in Khare—he was my climbing guide for the summit.

His strength, calm confidence, and constant smile gave me the trust and motivation I needed to reach the summit at sunrise. It was unforgettable.

Huge thanks to everyone at Nepal Hiking Team, especially Rewanta, Mann, and Lakpa Sherpa. I wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again. Truly, the adventure of a lifetime

 My partner and I completed the Manaslu Circuit with Nepal Hiking Team in April 2025, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic.

From the beginning, Ganga was incredibly helpful—he worked with us to plan the trek and even created a custom itinerary that fit our travel schedule perfectly. Everything felt smooth and well thought out before we even set foot on the trail.

Our guide, Rudra, welcomed us with a big smile at the airport and stayed by our side every step of the journey. Along with our porter, Jeewan, they did everything possible to make our trek enjoyable, comfortable, and stress-free. Over the 14-day adventure, they didn’t just guide us—they became genuine friends.

We could always count on them to find the best available accommodations, handle any unexpected issues with calm confidence, and keep the mood light with constant smiles and laughter.

Saying goodbye at the end of the trip was genuinely emotional—we weren’t ready to leave the mountains or our new friends behind.

We highly recommend Nepal Hiking Team, and especially Rudra, for anyone planning their Himalayan adventure. You’ll be in excellent hands.

It was a great experience, from the arrival at the airport, hotel and the entire trail. Everything was very well organized and the guides were very experienced, polite and always willing to help.

I recently completed the Everest Base Camp trek, and it was an incredible experience. As a solo traveler, I felt reassured from the very beginning — Ganga was always quick to reply to all my questions and made me feel confident and well-prepared even before arriving in Nepal.

A very special thanks goes to my guide, Rudra, and my porter, Dilip, who accompanied me throughout the trek. I couldn’t have asked for better support.
Rudra was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. During the difficult moments, when I wasn’t feeling well, he was always patient, supportive, and attentive. I always felt safe with him by my side.

Dilip was also amazing — tireless, kind, and always with a smile.

Both Rudra and Dilip even helped by carrying my backpack to Everest Base Camp and again to Kala Patthar.

I would absolutely recommend Nepal Hiking Team to anyone. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this adventure possible!

I went in with little to no training and yet completed the trek — that's how great our guide was. Ram (our guide) was well-informed, well-prepared, and overall a hoot to be with. Handling and guiding six strangers with completely different personalities is no small feat.

The company was thorough about our comfort before, during, and after the trek, and made sure we were well taken care of.

Frankly, I’d like to do the Annapurna Circuit next with the same company and guide, knowing I’m in safe hands.

5/5 — wouldn’t change a thing

I did a lot of research into who I should book the EBC trek with and decided to go with this company in the end. I emailed Ganga several times to get clarification on various things, as I was travelling as a solo female trekker. He always responded promptly to all my queries. So, booking the trek with them was a very easy decision for me and was easily done online.

On arriving in Kathmandu, I was picked up from the airport straightaway and taken to the Woodapple Hotel. The staff there were very sweet and welcoming. I was also met there by Ganga.

I met the other members of the group doing the trek with me the following morning for the debrief. We also met our guide, Ram.

Overall, the trek was absolutely amazing! There are no words to describe everything you see and experience — you just have to do it!

Ram, our guide, was superb — fun, knowledgeable, and always very caring. He definitely helped me get through the trek! I had a sickness bug on one of the trekking days, and I have to say I was looked after very well by Ram and the assistant guide, Manu, throughout. I couldn’t thank them enough. Thankfully, I recovered after 24 hours and was able to continue the trek.

The porters were equally incredible people — always smiling and very helpful. They do an amazing job! A huge thanks to them also!

I would highly recommend the Nepal Hiking Team for a great, fun, personable, and caring experience for the EBC trek!

I’m sure their service would be equally excellent for other treks as well. I would definitely love to return to Nepal for more trekking adventures in the future!

Thanks again to the whole team for a once-in-a-lifetime, amazing experience!

I did the Annapurna Circuit solo (joining a group of two) with Nepal Hiking Team and had an incredible experience from start to finish. Everything was organized—airport pickup, hotels, permits—so we could just focus on the trek.

Our guide, Hari, was outstanding. Calm, thoughtful, and highly experienced, he always made sure we were acclimatizing safely and helped us make smart decisions along the way. He was also open and honest about extra costs and flexible when our plans shifted. At one point, he took us to a monastery during a local ceremony, which ended up being one of the most memorable moments of the trip.

Our porters (both named Ram) were also fantastic—always upbeat, dependable, and somehow already at the tea houses before we even arrived.

Toward the end of the trek, we decided to skip the final day’s hike from Muktinath to Jomsom so we could spend more time in Pokhara. Hari quickly arranged a flight and hotel at no extra cost and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way.

If you’re considering a trek in Nepal, go for Nepal Hiking Team—and especially Hari—enough. It was an unforgettable experience, made all the better by being in such good hands.

The trip to EBC was excellent! Ganga (1) was super helpful and communicative while organizing the tour. Everything was easy and professionally handled from start to finish.

Our guide, Ganga (2), along with the assistant guides, was friendly, organized, and helped us achieve our goal of reaching Everest Base Camp! We had a great time with the best group.
