My partner and I booked the Khopra Danda trek in mid March.
Before arriving in Nepal, Bisnhu was excellent at communicating with us; often responding on the same day (depending on time zones). We were able to organise trekking poles and sleeping bags through him, which was convenient.
Ram (our guide) met us at the airport and had arranged transport to our hotel in Kathmandu, where we met Bishnu and settled the outstanding balance of the trip. Everything was smooth. Bishnu accepted either cash or card (3 % bank charge for card). Conversion from USD to NPR was very transparent, by using the rate on the day.
From day 2, Ram managed everything effectively (logistics, accommodation, admin, and navigation). Ram as a guide was very friendly without being overbearing. This made for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. With the Covid-19 situation bubbling, Ram even offered for us to stay at his family village if we had any issues, which was very kind.
The trek itself starts off on a more touristy part of the circuit up to Ghorepani (Poon Hill), before you go off the beaten path. This mix allows you to ease into the trekking lifestyle after a long flight, with the first few nights spent in more hotel-like accommodation. After Ghorepani until Tadapani, the accommodation does become a lot more basic (due to limited options), but the views and experience are even more exceptional.
Worth noting that all accommodation in the mountains is basic compared to the cities. It's the nature of trekking, not a reflection on the tour quality.
The 'Trip Grade' is marked as easy; however this is dependent on the conditions. We were challenged by some unseasonable levels of snow (waist high in places), which meant that there were some difficult, but rewarding sections of the trek. If you're not experienced or comfortable when things get a little sketchy, I recommend going later in the season. Ram was fairly 'hands off' with us over these sections, but we are quite experienced and were comfortable with the terrain, so this was our preference. If we weren't, I'm positive he'd help at any step of the way.
Bishnu had planned to meet us for dinner when we returned to Kathmandu, as we arranged to stay in Pokhara after the trek. Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 situation this wasn't possible, but this evidences the high quality of customer service that Bishnu, Ram, and the rest of the team aim to deliver.
When we inevitably return to Nepal, we'll be using Nepal Hiking Adventure Company for any guided trips/treks.

My partner and I completed a 1 week tour of Nepal in both Kathmandu and Pokhara with Nepal Hiking Adventure company.
Right from the very beginning, Bishnu and co were extremely professional and accommodated all of our requests. We wanted a mixture of sightseeing, adventure activities and trekking. Bishnu created the perfect itinerary for us and I could not recommend this company more!
We started off Day 1 with a tour of Kathmandu temples and different parts of the city with a private driver and tour guide who spoke excellent English and gave us loads of very interesting information about the city. On Day 2 we travelled to Pokhara by plane and did Paragliding in Sarangkot, followed by a private tour of the city temples, fewa lake, caves etc again with a guide who had excellent english. Days 3,4 and 5 consisted of a 3 day hike to Poon Hill, which had amazing views of the Annapurna Range, Fishtale Mountain and other beautiful peaks. The hike was a good challenge for us (but not extremely difficult, anyone with a decent level of fitness could complete it no problem). Our guide for this hike was Raj, who was excellent from start to finish taking us in a lovely route from Nayapul to Ulleri, then to Ghorepani and finally Poon Hill. Raj helped us any time we got tired and was more than happy to stop for breaks when we got tired. He provided us with crampons at the top because it was slightly icy and slippery. He was an amazing guide and we really created a great bond along the way. Day 6 we did mountain biking around Pokhara and travelled through local villages and had lovely views of the top of Sarangkot. Day 7 we returned to Kathmandu and completed another day of sightseeing which was a lovely relaxed end to our trip. Bishnu and his team made our experience really great from start to finish and they also took care of the PCR testing needed for travelling back home. What really was important to us was their flexibility with the itinerary and their willingness to change the plans to suit what we wanted to do while in Nepal, a fantastic company that we would recommend without reservation!

I would highly recommend this company in Nepal! We made the EBC trek with a group of four ladies from Finland plus a guide (Ram) and two porters (Pasang and Khadka). Lovely and very friendful people! Everything worked excellent. Bishnu took very good care of us inc pick ups from to airport, sightseeing in KTM and hotel bookings during the whole stay.
This was the first high altitude trekking for three of us so special thanks for our guide Ram who was very professional and friendly and took into account all our wishes. Some trekking companies might suggest you too fast schedule, but we had proper acclimatation days during the trek. We felt safe all the time.
Summarizing all this: Great staff and good caring.
Highly recommended!
Thank you Bishnu and Ram!

I enjoyed my trip, although very hard work the views and experience were worth it. Tilak tried his best to inform me of the different mountain ranges, and was genuinely supportive of me with advice. The views were amazing and the advice from Tilak on photo opportunities was very helpful! Overall, I would recommend using the company and Tilak as a guide / porter . Bishnu who organized the trip was very helpful and helped me rent some equipment and buy the less expensive necessities. We got stuck in Lukla because of bad weather and Tilak organized a helicopter ride back, the cost of which was offset against the flight. This still cost a few hundred dollars but again what an experience !

I recently had the privilege of embarking on a 12-day trekking tour to Everest Base Camp, and I want to express my sincere appreciation for Tilak's invaluable assistance throughout the journey. With his exceptional knowledge of the mountains and the region, Tilak proved to be an outstanding guide.
From the outset, Tilak displayed a remarkable understanding of the trekking route and the challenges that lay ahead. Despite not hiring a porter, Tilak willingly took on the additional responsibility of helping me with my belongings. His strength and determination were evident as he effortlessly navigated the rugged terrain while carrying his own gear and supporting me when needed.
Tilak's expertise in locating mountains and landmarks was truly impressive. His familiarity with the region allowed him to point out significant features and share fascinating insights about the surrounding peaks. His passion for the mountains was contagious, and it heightened our appreciation for the breathtaking landscapes we encountered along the way.
Beyond his technical skills, Tilak's warm and friendly demeanor made the journey even more enjoyable. He was always approachable, patient, and willing to address any questions or concerns I had.
Throughout the trek, Tilak displayed a deep commitment to my safety and well-being. He closely monitored my acclimatization process, ensuring that we took the necessary precautions to prevent altitude sickness. His vigilance and knowledge provided us with the confidence to overcome challenges and reach our goals.
Tilak seamlessly adapted the itinerary to accommodate the flight delay due to bad weather. The accommodations arranged by Tilak were comfortable and offered a welcome respite after a day of trekking. The meals provided were delicious and nourishing, sustaining my energy levels throughout the journey.
I am immensely grateful to Tilak for his unwavering support and dedication during the trek. His expertise, professionalism, and genuine care were evident in every aspect of the journey. Without his assistance, the trek to Everest Base Camp would not have been as fulfilling and memorable.
Thank you, Tilak, for making this experience truly unforgettable. Your expertise and passion for the mountains added an extra layer of magic to the Everest Base Camp trek, and I will cherish the memories created for a lifetime.

Traveling in Nepal is not difficult, but Nepal Hiking Adventure team made my trip more comfortable and enjoyable. After I'd been searching for so many company for trekking in Nepal, I decided to booked the Mardi Himal Package for 11 Days and it was the right decision I made. Bishnu and NHA team organized my trip so well. Since day 1 that I met Bishnu and Sanjay, they were so friendly and helpful that made me feel comfortable. Moreover, the trekking guide, Raaze, is very professional and trustable. He was like everything for me during the trek. He worked as an experienced guide, strong porter, funny buddy, and sometimes a chef Lol. All of them will never disappoint you. Also, I really love how they provided accommodations with good location and nice views. so thoughtful! It was an unforgettable and joyful journey for me. Highly recommend!

We took the helicopter tour to the Everest. We made the reservation a few weeks in advance from our country and had some difficulties making the payment through the platform due to problems directly from the bank. The communication to solve this problem and all our questions was always very efficient, Bishnu was always attentive. As for the tour experience... incredible, a dream come true. 100% recommended

My cousin, a friend of ours and I booked a 5-day trek to Ghorepani/Poon Hill with Nepal Hiking Adventure Company in April. It was an absolutely INCREDIBLE and FASCINATING experience, and I cannot wait for another trek in Nepal. Specially to get up early to see the sunrise over the mountains was something I enjoyed doing a lot, not only for Poon Hill itself, but I did it every morning and I did not regret it! Another thing I really enjoyed about the trek were the amazing views along the way especially day three, where we hiked from Ghorepani first up to Poon Hill in the morning and then later to Tadapani, where we lived in a very simple accommodation, but met amazing people and had a wonderful time all together and got a lot closer to our guides as well.
On the trek itself my group was together with one more person, who also did this route (she was supposed to do the trek in four days at first but decided to do it in five days together with us instead). We got to know her quite well during the trek and had a lot of fun together, especially when we were sitting together in the evenings. I also do not want to forget of course our fantastic guides Raj Acharya and SanJay LaMsal. During the trek Raj and SanJay took very good care of us. While Raj was mostly with my group, since we were hiking faster than the other person, SanJay stayed with her in her own pace. However, both of them always looked out for us and made sure that we were doing good, while trekking itself but also before and after our treks. They also told us a lot about which mountains we were able to see and about many other things like the Nepali culture itself or the National flower, the rhododendron, which we were able to see while trekking. So, thank you for an fantastic trip, we enjoyed it a lot!!!

As a last minute decision I decided to book the Annapurna Circuit with Nepal Hiking. This was strongly based on trip advisor reviews. I was not disappointed. The whole trip was a fantastic experience and Ram and Raaz were the perfect guides.
July is widely cited as a difficult time to visit due to rain and mud... however, decent boots and a poncho will take of the weather and leave you with a trip where the greenery and waterfalls are abundant and unlike any other month in Nepal. It was a perfect time to visit.
The trip was very well administered from the pick up at the airport to the daily treks. I thoroughly recommend this trek and this company. Thank you.

Friends and I recently completed the EBC trek with Nepal Hiking Adventure Company, which took 14 days in total including 2 nights in Kathmandu
All of our group had a great experience with Nepal Hiking Adventure. Bishnu went above and beyond and was always there to answer our questions in the months and weeks leading up to the trek. We met with Bishnu the day before our trek began and he went through the full itinerary, describing each days trek, how long it would take and also gave us lots of lots of information & tips from his years of experience in the industry.
The following day, we were greeted by our guide Raz and took a helicopter to Lukla where we met our two porters, Tek and Navin. Raz was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable of the trek and we all knew we were in very capable hands. He debriefed us every evening and morning for the day ahead and always ensured we were feeling well, that we had enough water and reminded us when to take out anti-altitude sickness tablets. Tek & Navin were brilliant porters and our trek wouldn't have been possible without them.
I could not recommend this company enough. The service they provide is 10/10. The package is incredible value for the service they offer. They are so hospitable and always wanted to assist us with even the smallest of tasks like refilling our water bottles. It’s very evident that Bishnu leads a great team and we will never forget our experience! Someday I hope to return to Nepal & will certainly be booking my tours through this company.
