We did the EBC Base Camp Trek in October 2022, and it was the trip of a lifetime!! Very glad to have chosen Nepal Hiking Team, they offered super professional... read more service and made our experience a highlight. The communication with Ganga, the CEO, was awesome - he responded fast, precise and with patience to the many questions we had upfront. He is definitely on top, and super friendly. Our guide, Gokarna, did a great job in getting us up to EBC - he has tremendous experience and knowledge, great humour and kind of became a friend during the trip. I can highly recommend Nepal Hiking Team, I had high expectations and they were 100% met. Well done and many thanks for the service we received.

  Once in a life time experience - Outstanding service - I believe Nepal Hiking Team is one of the best-value choice for your trek in Nepal. I did EBC trek in Dec 2022 and Nepal Hiking Team provided amazing service... read more from the begining to the end.

Ganga and operation team responded quickly and detailed to every inquiry to make sure I would have a smooth experience in Nepal. The hotel in Kathmandu and city tour was very nice. You cannot expect 5-stars facility on the trek, but Nepal Hikking Team tried their best to provide us with the best possible guesthouses and meals. Their service exceeded my expectation.

Dhurba Itani was our great guide and an amazing team leader. He was very careful, experienced and responsible. His positive energy and support helped us all complete the trek. He always made sure that our stays were comfortable and our meals were well-prepare. Dhurba was also very quick and experienced in handling complex situations. He managed to get the whole group safely back to Kathmandu from Lukla by helicopter when the weather was not nice.

I'm happy that I chose Nepal Hikking Team for my amazing EBC trek.

  Wow where to start... what an amazing experience. I'm a young girl from Miami and I was scared of going because I never trekked in my life and I'm 110... read more lbs and I usually don't workout so I was thinking I was not going to be able to complete the trek, I was completely wrong. My guide Narayan was amazing and adapted the itinerary to make me succeed, he was always looking out for me and even carried my backpack many times when I was exhausted . Narayan and the porter also carried fruit for me the whole trek and cut it and serve me everyday which was very nice since due to the weather fruits and vegetables in Lantang Valley are a luxury.
Ganga was amazing too, he organized everything for me. From hotel, trek, transportation and I even left my luggage with them when I went to visit Pokhara.
The one thing I would say us westerners need to know is that the food options are limited in such a remote area. The weather is so cold not much grows there so they have to carry everything up the mountains. Meat is rare to find while trekking. You will mostly eat eggs, rice, boiled vegetables, noodles...my suggestion is to carry dry meat/jerky with you.
The sunrises were amazing, if you can wake up early to see it, you won't regret it. Waking up is hard since you will be exhausted but so worth it.
We saw lots of animals like yaks, horses, Rhesus monkey, eagles, donkey, and we got lucky and saw deer too. The Tamang tribe are very nice people too and make you feel comfortable.
To summarize I would say its HARD for someone inexperienced like me but totally doable, and you will feel very good about yourself and your capabilities once you complete it.
I went in February 2021 and the weather was really cold but sunny, no rain .
Also, all the porters carrying heavy weights up the mountain amazed me everyday. It is unbelievable what the human body can do. I would say some of them easily carry 50kgs.
And yes Nepal is open for trekkers. You can get visa on arrival if your tour agency gets recommendation letter in advance. Go out there and experience other cultures !
