My wife, our eight-year-old son, and I did the Everest Base Camp Trek with Nepal Hiking Team in April 2025. Right from our first contact, Nepal Hiking Team was very quick to respond and planned a private trip customized especially for us, keeping in mind our son's age. Things only got better when Hari Gurung, our guide, picked us up at the airport.

During the 12-day trek, Hari became like family. He genuinely cared that we safely reached Base Camp and back, always making sure we had a great time along the way. Hari understood exactly when to push us forward and when we needed rest. He gave us practical tips on acclimatizing to high altitude, spent lots of time holding our son’s hand, and explained the route clearly to him, showing interesting plants and animals along the way. Hari also had excellent knowledge of the local culture, making it enjoyable and educational for us.

The trek was definitely challenging and tough, but we feel incredibly proud of making it to EBC. We honestly couldn’t have done it without Nepal Hiking Team, our guide Hari, and our porters, Prashant and Aarush. We wholeheartedly recommend them and can’t wait to return to Nepal again soon, especially to trek more with Nepal Hiking Team and Hari!

Absolutely five-star!

Like a fairy Tale. The' Roof of the world', 'Home of the Gods 'Even though there was a few bits that were quite challenging[above 4000metres], Our Guide Ram made it all to easy, To be Guided in the Himalayas by a total professional, who not only was in total control when unpredictable problems came up but at the same time seemed to love it in the Mountains more than anyone!

I will always be in your debt, Ram, for the way you cared and encouraged my Wife and daughter[Chicuuuuuuuuuu!!!!],

Missing your company,

Adam

Jam Jam!

I felt completely taken care of from the moment I made my first email inquiry (with Ganga) to getting me on my flight home. I am a 50-year-old solo traveler and was in Nepal for about a month, much of it on the trek. The communication and organization were 5-star+. My guide, Ram, was patient and extremely attentive. I ended up hurting my knee about 1/2 way, and Ram guided me back down safely. It was quite an adventure!

I also arranged a couple of day trips to Patan and Bhaktapur via Ganga and enjoyed them as well. I would definitely use Nepal Hiking Team when I return. Thank you, everyone.

In April 2025, I completed the Annapurna with a friend. It was an incredible experience for the stunning landscapes we traveled through, but also thanks to our guide Dilman and porter Ratna, who made the journey even more special. They took exceptional care of us, always listened carefully to our concerns, and gave us confidence and reassurance, especially when we faced snowfall on the way to Thorong La Pass. The trip was a success because of them.

I'd also like to acknowledge Balaram, the manager. Excellent professionals like these are what make this company truly outstanding. I'm very grateful and I love Nepal!

We've had a fantastic experience with Nepal Hiking Team, and our guide, Suraj Shrestha, has been incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and encouraging throughout this challenging journey.

We feel very fortunate to have made it to both Tilicho Lake and Thorong La Pass, especially after the heavy snowfall the day before. Thanks to the team’s well-considered itinerary, we were able to conserve our energy and fully enjoy capturing the stunning scenery.

We wanted to do the Annapurna Circuit after doing EBC back in 2023. This year, we came back and did the “highlight” part of the circuit with Suraj — Tilicho Lake and Thorong La Pass.

Suraj was super helpful the whole way. Gave us a solid briefing every night and always checked in on how we were feeling as we went higher. Proper looked after us.

It actually kept snowing the night before both our big days — 1) Tilicho Lake and 2) Thorong La.

We started at 4am for both, and the snowy path made things a bit trickier. But Suraj stayed close, made sure we didn’t get lost or slip — honestly felt safe the whole time.

Would 100% come back for more treks in Nepal 😊

Just finished my first Nepal trek on the Annapurna Circuit route. The 8-day hike was amazing — great weather, and our guide was super helpful and spoke fluent English. Our porter was really cheerful and supportive too.

We made it to both Tilicho Lake and Thorong La Pass safely. I’d definitely recommend booking a guide and porter — it makes a huge difference, especially at high altitude.

You can ask Nepal Hiking Team anything — they’ll sort it out for you, no worries.

This was my first time trekking to a high altitude. This company took care of everything for us. Everything was up front and on time. I was met at the airport and taken to a very nice hotel.

We did a great city tour of Kathmandu prior to my trek, set up by Nepal Hiking Team. My guide, Kishor Karki was so good. He helped us get our flight and make changes very quickly so we could start on time. He was always ready to answer questions and explain things. He is very knowledgeable and hevas a great sense of humor. He really made the trip. 

The other NHT guides I met during the trip were also very friendly. We made it to Everest base camp! If you’re interested, don’t hesitate. They make everything go smoothly.

My partner and I have just completed the 22-day Everest High Passes Trek (Three Passes and Everest Base Camp, anticlockwise) with Nepal Hiking Team, along with our amazing guide Raj and porter Shrawan.

From the start, the whole experience was incredibly smooth. Ganga from Nepal Hiking Team was super responsive to all our emails, even managed to book us onto a last-minute trek, and provided thorough briefings both before and after. Everything — from the airport pickup in Kathmandu to the final drop-off — was so well organised, and the team stayed professional throughout.

The Woodapple Hotel, where they put us up in Kathmandu, was great too — fab location, beautiful city views, lovely rooms, and tasty food.

Raj was brilliant. He’s an experienced guide, speaks great English, and is just genuinely friendly and supportive. He always made us feel safe, whether we were dealing with altitude, feeling unwell, or just unsure about the trail. He made sure we were booked into good accommodation, gave us detailed daily briefings, and told us what to expect and what to pack. He was super attentive and always checked that we were comfortable, happy, and well-fed.

Shrawan, our porter, was also fantastic — always early to collect our bags and somehow always at the tea house before us with everything ready. He had the biggest smile and stuck with us during all three passes to make sure we crossed them safely as a group.

We’ve absolutely loved this trek and would 100% book with Nepal Hiking Team again. Highly recommend them — and definitely ask for Raj as your guide if you can!

Incredible time with Nepal hiking team. I had the pleasure of having Uttam and Ngima as our guides, with Rajas and Vinood as our porters. What an incredible team. They really made the trip memorable, easy, and funny at times.

I felt safe with them; they had a good medical first aid kit. They knew the paths well. They would coordinate tea houses for us ahead of time and were really flexible with our needs.

When hiccups happened with flights (weather-related, out of their control), they would provide us with options and how to best adjust to unforeseen circumstances. They really had a breadth of experience.

Most importantly, I saw multiple guides and porters from Nepal hiking team come together to help a young person sick with altitude illness. Their quick thinking and strong will helped them coordinate a rescue effort quickly.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Nepal Hiking Team, Uttam, Ngima, Rajas and Vinood to anyone!
