We did Mt. Everest Base Camp, the three high passes, and Gokyo lakes with Nepal Hiking Team in April 2022. I initially reached out to Ganga in April 2021, remembering the positive feedback I heard from fellow overlanders while in India in 2017. I must have emailed Ganga 100 times between April 2021 and April 2022. We ended up delaying our trek from October 2021 to April 2022 due to covid, and I had so many questions. I wanted to make sure I didn't forget anything and was as prepared as possible. We hadn't traveled in nearly 3 years, and I was pretty nervous about many things. Ganga always got back to me within 24 hours, and was always patient, thorough, and polite, putting any concerns I had at ease. When we arrived to Nepal (our flights were delayed in-transit, fortunately Ganga was able to track us since my means of communication was limited), we were greeted at the airport by Balaram. We couldn't have asked for a more kind or friendly person to welcome us to Nepal, he was perfect! Over the next day we learned more details about the trek with a briefing from Ganga, and got to tour Kathmandu according to what NHT arranged. We enjoyed the local guides NHT arranged for us, and the sites. And of course the cuisine! We love Dal Bhat!!! We were happy to get away from the hustle of the city, and on the amazing flight to Lukla the following morning. We got so lucky with our flights- so many times they are delayed due to weather, and we got in and out just as scheduled. Our guide, Ram, and porter, Neema, were absolutely outstanding!!! We had gone to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro in 2019, and everything we read about Everest Base Camp said it was easier. Base Camp was more gradual than the final push to the top of Kili, however those three high passes were something else- we had no idea how much of a challenge that would end up being. Fortunately, we paid extra to be in a group by ourselves, and could really take it slow with individual attention from our helpers. Ram and Neema made sure we were safe, often holding onto or spotting one of us through the rockiest parts of the passes, when we went downhill. We had contemplated not doing the 2nd and 3rd pass after the first one. Fortunately, thanks to Ram and Neema, we made it through all of them without getting hurt, and, were able to enjoy the true highlight of the trip- majestic views of the Gokyo lakes, at Gokyo Ri, and from Renjo La Pass. Neema handled our luggage with such ease that he usually would go ahead of us, put the bags down, and come back to help. Sometimes he helped while carrying our luggage! We truly could not have done this without Ram and Neema. We have them to thank for making this experience of a lifetime successful, and something we will cherish memories of, forever. Wow, 2+ months later we're still in complete awe of what we accomplished. The views are out of this world. Despite it having been the greatest challenge of our lives, we want to go back to Nepal and hike Annapurna Circuit with Tilicho Lake in the next 2 years. We will only consider Nepal Hiking Team, and already look forward to it, even though we know it will be the second greatest challenge of our lives.…

Review of: Everest Base Camp Trek
Had an amazing time trekking with Nepal Hiking Company They got recommended by someone, plus rated number 1 on Trip Adviser - so i had no doubt choosing them and i never regretted my choice )) What i loved was: 1 - Guide - we were super lucky to have Arjun as our guide. Really felt he took care of everything for us! Super knowledgeable, easy, fun! Became a great friend for life after this trip - you’d be super lucky to have his company 🙏 2 - Company. Being clients of Nepal Hiking Team felt like VIPs There were so many perks of traveling with well known local super friendly company: For starters - upgraded helicopter flight instead of plane when weather wasn’t amazing. Then, throughout the trip, we noticed - that we had the BEST rooms everywhere we went - with the best view and attached toilets, wherever possible. 3 - Preparation Ganga-boss felt like he never slept - answering all your questions almost on a spot! Super helpful! Again because of his and Arjun’s great connections we’ve had VIP service everywhere we went Highly recommend! One of the best things I’ve done in my life! So pleased i choose this company! Would definitely come back to them for my next trek in Nepal…

My wife and I had awesome experience with Nepal Hiking Team!! We did the Annapurna Circuit Trek last April and all I can say is that it was a lifetime trip. Our experience started in Kathmandu. Ballaram was personally to welcome us at the hotel and booked us in a very nice and confortable room at WoodApple Hotel which is close to the Kathmandu's main attractions. During the trek our guide (Surya) and our porter (Keshab) did all they could to provide us with the niciest accommodations and food during the trek. They were very professional regarding the aclimatization to the high altitude. We live in a sea level city and before our trek we were woried about high altitude sickness. Surya was very carefull on advising us to control our walking speed and hydration, plus they helped us with a lot of climb high and sleep low. The result is that my wife didn't had any simptoms of high altitude sickness (even in Thorong La Pass) and I had very litle headache that I'm not sure if it was due to altitude or due to the cold wind up in the pass. About the trek it were incredible, the weather were just perfect, there was a lot of blooming along the way and a thin cap of snow at the pass, which turned the landscapes even more beautifull. I can say it was one of the best vaccation of my life!…

Review of: 14-Day Private Annapurna Base Camp Trek
We had an amazing experience with Nepal Hiking Team! Ganga was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and quickly answered all our questions before our trip. He arranged a custom ABC trip adding a day-long tour of Kathmandu, a free day in Pokara, and a flight back to Kathmandu. Once in Nepal, he met us at our hotel several times before and after our trek to ensure everything was going smoothly. We can’t say enough about our guide, Hadi, and porters, Navaraj and Ganesh. They became our trail family and kept us safe, comfortable, and educated on the culture and geography of the Annapurna Conservation Area. Hadi brilliantly paced us through days of climbing, arranged the best rooms in every tea house, and kept us laughing the entire trek. He was always attentive to our comfort and safety and was especially caring to our daughter when she was sick with a cold. When we reached ABC the views were blocked by clouds, but the next morning Hadi got up at 5:00 am to wait for the views to clear and woke us up as soon as the clouds lifted! And a highlight of the trek was nightly card games with our team. Nepal Hiking Team and their professional, caring staff are top notch. I highly recommend them and will use them again when we return to Nepal. Thank you for a trip of a lifetime!…
