  Everest Base Camp trek was an amazing experience for me thanks in large part to the trek organizers, Nepal Hiking Team. Our guide Pawan, assistant guide Shree Krishna and porters... read more Ramcharan, Santhosh and Lakman were all truly great, caring deeply for each of us in our trekking team. They helped us every step of the way constantly offering us help, guidance and assistance. Pawan, Shree Krishna and Ramcharan were all very experienced and knowledgeable about the Everest Base Camp trek always giving us a lot of background and related information at every turn. Sincerely volunteering help all the time is a rarity and we found it to be abundant with this guiding team. They assisted us every day of this trek in so very many ways and for that I am truly thankful to each of them. Pawan was great as the guide personally making sure each of us is comfortable all the time.
Ganga, the CEO of Nepal Hiking Team took great care in planning and organizing this trek in every detail and that is what made this trek a very memorable experience for us. He even handled some unexpected situations really well and very quickly - assisted by our guide Pawan. Shree Krishna is certified to be a full guide and is ready to take that responsibility. He has very good organizing and communication skills necessary for a guide. And Ramcharan is ready to take on the role of an assistant guide. I strongly recommend and urge Ganga to consider promoting each of them into their new roles soon.
I look forward to trekking Annapurna Base Camp soon with Nepal Hiking Team.

  Incredible adventure on the Manaslu Circuit - We completed the 15 day Manaslu Circuit trek with Nepal Hiking Team in late November 2022.

The scenery of the Manaslu region is stunning and far more beautiful than... read more we had imagined. The weather was excellent! It did get cold but we had blue sky every day and no rain. There were three of us in our group and we only bumped into a few people along the trail. It was incredibly serene and this was a big reason we chose the Manaslu Circuit over Annapurna. We started our trek with a long drive to Machha Khola (which avoided some road sections if we had started in Soti Khola) and finished in Dharapani. In total, we did ten days of actual trekking which was really enjoyable.

Our guide was Ram and porters Namaraj, Sabin and Samir. They were all very professional, capable and polite. They made sure we had a good experience. It’s not the sort of trek where you are provided with lots of information about Nepal along the way, but Ram was always happy to answer questions and share information when we asked. Prior to departing on the trek Ganga had organised a day tour around Kathmandu where we learned about Nepalese culture and it’s well worth doing.

We were impressed by the communication and organisation of NHT during the booking process and our actual trip. Ganga was extremely helpful in answering all our questions and also assisted us to tailor our itinerary as we wanted to travel to Bandipur and Chitwan after the trek. We were collected from the airport we met Ganga and our guide the day before the trek which was nice. He even organised our transport back to Kathmandu airport a good two weeks after we finished the trek which we hadn’t expected but really appreciated.

We were happy with the accomodation before the trek (Woodapple Hotel) and we chose to stay there where we returned to Kathmandu. On the trek you stay in tea houses. The quality of tea houses on the trek varied but for the most part were very nice. We enjoyed most of the food, it’s best to eat the vegetarian Nepalese/ local options rather than western choices - they are delicious, especially the Dahl baht and momos. Our favourite tea houses were in Namrung, Lho and Samdo (the hot shower at Samdo for 500 baht was money well spent) and our least favourite were Samagaun (a shame as you spend two nights there) and Dharamasla. You won’t get much cell/wifi coverage (which is quite nice) but you can buy a warmish shower at most tea houses for between 250 and 500 rupee. We brought our own warm sleeping bags and pillows which we appreciated as the cleanliness of extra blankets and pillows in tea houses was often lacking (Nepal Hiking Team can also supply a sleeping bag and down jacket but we chose to bring our own).

Overall we loved our experience. We would be happy to book with Nepal Hiking Team again and 100% recommend the Manaslu Circuit as an incredible adventure.

Tips: I’d suggest bringing your own food (eg that you can add hot water to) for the tea house at Dharamasla as it was extremely basic and you don’t want to risk food poisoning the night before the Pass. Biodegradable wet wipes, toilet paper, a life straw, water sanitation tablets and plenty of hand sanitiser are also suggested! Drink lots of water to help with acclimatisation.

  Truly once in a lifetime amazing experience of which Ganga and the Nepal Hiking Team looked after us every stage of the journey. The Guide (Paban) and our Porter were... read more amazing with great knowledge of the area and attention to our safety and comfort. The tea houses we stayed in were the best available and the food was great for the location. We had delays due to several bad weather in Lukla on our return to Kathmandu of which Ganga kept in touch each day to provide Jeeps for the journey and we even got a refund on our flight tickets. On return to our hotel Ganga upgraded our hotel room at the Apple Wood Hotel due to the delay of which was fantastic and appreciated. The whole experience would not have been so memorable without the assistance of Ganga and I would personally recommend anyone planning the Everest Base Camp Trek to book through Nepal Hiking Team as they performed better than we could ever have ever expected.
