One day kathmandu sightseeing

  Quite a tough trip for our group of 5 but incredibly rewarding. NHT were there every step of the way to organise transport, accommodation and meals. On the hike our... read more guide Dhurba made sure we were coping with the level of activity and the altitude every step of the way. Always caring and fun, he certainly improved the experience and got us where we needed to go. Assistant guide Rajesh, ever silent, was diligent in his work as well as our porters. Only hiccup was that we were unable to get flights to/from Kathmandu and Lukla so had to use a neighbouring airport instead, this did mean we got to see a bit more of the country though. Would happily recommend NHT.

  I was lucky enough to take part in the Everest Base Camp trek with Nepal Hiking Team as part of a group leaving on 18 December 2022. My experience with... read more Nepal Hiking Team was excellent from start to finish. The whole trip was taken care of for us and didn't require any prior planning. On our arrival at Kathmandu airport, our guide Dhurba was waiting to greet us and take us back to our hotel. We couldn't have asked for a warmer welcome to Nepal! The day after our arrival, we got the chance to meet the rest of our tour group at the hotel before we all set off together on a tour of Kathmandu. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Kathmandu by our guide Ramesh, who was highly knowledgeable about the city and spoke perfect English. Thank you Ramesh!!

The next day we flew to Lukla to start our hike. Our guide Dhurba went out of his way to get us good seats on the plane so that we could enjoy the best views of the Himalayas throughout our journey. On arrival at Lukla. we commenced our 12 day hike to Everest Base Camp and back. The hike itself was not too challenging as we took it at a gradual pace. It did get tough for a few days closer to Base Camp due to the high altitude and the cold temperatures. Dhurba was always on hand to reassure us , give us advice and to provide any medicine that we required. I hadn't brought diamox with me so it was good to know that Dhurba was able to provide this if/when it was needed.

Overall, the trek was really enjoyable and, although tough at times, it was certainly not an experience I will ever forget! Thank you to Dhurba who was a great guide. He was highly knowledgeable about the region and the mountains. He was always patient and let us go at our own pace. He was always in tune with how we were feeling. On days we weren't feeling great, he didn't push us to take part in any additional hikes if we didn't want to. He even insisted on carrying my day bag if I felt particularly tired. Christmas Day was spent two days away from Base Camp. Dhurba surprised us with a Christmas gift which was very much appreciated when we were far away from home! Dhurba made a big effort to get to know everyone in the team and by the end of the tour he had become our friend as well as our tour guide. Thank you Dhurba for being such a great guide! It wouldn't have been the same without you.

The only slight hiccup on our trip (which was down to the elements !) was our return flight not being able to leave Lukla due to bad weather. As soon as we made the decision that we wanted to leave Lukla and return to Kathmandu via helicopter, Ganga and Dhurba managed to organise this for us right away and a helicopter to take us at a cheaper price than other trekkers were paying. Before we left Lukla on helicopter, our incredible porters throughout the trip, Nima and and Purna, came to say bye and gifted us ceremonial scarves - it was such a lovely way to mark the end of our time in the mountains.

On arrival back in Kathmandu, Ganga came to greet us at our hotel and was eager to hear about our trip. The following day we left Nepal and Dhurba accompanied us to the airport - it was a really nice touch that we were able to both start and end our time in Nepal with Dhurba.

Overall, I was very impressed by the service offered by Nepal Hiking Team. Despite the fact you can't expect luxury throughout the trek, Nepal Hiking Team ensured we stayed in some of the most comfortable teahouses. The tour was great value for money considering all meals were included (and teas/coffees at the teahouses - of which I had plenty!) as well as all of our accommodation, internal flight and Kathmandu city tour. Nepal Hiking Team also provided us with duffle bags for the trek and sleeping bags which were a lifesaver. Ganga was so nice and super friendly and helpful - he was on hand to answer any queries I had both before and throughout the trip and would always respond immediately. 10/10 service!

We had the best time in Nepal. It was such an amazing country and the people were some of the nicest I have met. I'm so glad we chose to do the tour with Nepal Hiking Team and would definitely use them again if I decide to re-visit Nepal - thank you for making our experience so unforgettable!

  Wow, well organised, wonderful - Such an easy trip to book and carry out. Ganga / office team responded to all queries, no matter how daft, with speed and helpfulness. From being met at the... read more airport to being led up the Manaslu circuit and rest days in Pokhara it was all seamless and stress free.
We were there 10 days after the unseasonal monsoon that had wiped out a lot of the paths and roads - so the guides had to be a bit flexible and were not totally sure of the state of trails we would find.
Our guide, Bijay, was very accommodating and helpful. He too answered our questions well with his knowledge of the English language. If he didn’t know the answer he’d find out. The whole team, including our amazing happy porters we’re keen to make the experience of Manaslu a great one for us. Extra blankets for the cold and the best possible accommodation in the various villages were forthcoming.
If I had any pointers - take plenty of snacks and water purification devices, be prepared for early mornings, and don’t be afraid to ask to ‘add to’ or detour slightly on the set trail.
The itinerary/ route we were initially provided with was not 100% accurate.
A completely wow trip . But not for you if you’re not a regular hiker in hills.

  I did already my third trek with Nepal Hiking Team in December 2022. As with the previous two, the planning and booking with Ganga was very easy. E-Mails were answered... read more very quickly and all my questions were answered. After having done Everest Base Camp and the Ghorepani-Poon Hill trek previously, I chose the less busy region of Langtang valley this time. Nepal Hiking Team prepared a custom 8-day-trek (plus 2 days of driving) in the Langtang valley and including Gosaikunda lake.
My trekking guide Deepak and my porter Rajesh were both very friendly and spoke English well. My guide seemed very knowledgeable of the area and made some small adjustments of the itinerary on the fly (like staying at another village when we arrived at our planned destination early, to make the next day easier). He always made sure I get the best possible room in every guesthouse and I often even had a private bathroom attached to my room. The food on the trek was also very good everywhere.
I have previously trekked in October in Nepal and I was a bit worried that December would be very cold. After having done the trek, I can now say that those worries were not necessary. I actually did not feel like it was colder than in October at all. It was cold at night and in the morning before the sun came up, but that was the same in October. As soon as the sun came out, it was always pretty warm and I had to peel back my layers quite quickly. There was also no snow except for the last few hundred meters before the highest point of the trek. This was also the most challenging part, because the path was quite icy, but it was manageable. The rest of the trek was not difficult for me technically. If you have hiked in the mountains before, you will be fine.
I can fully recommend Nepal Hiking Team for all trekking in Nepal and I will definitely book again with them the next time I will be in the country.

  My trip has been such an incredible experience! My guide was professional, funny and had respond to all my needs! I'm really scared of height but Gokul made sure I... read more felt safe and ok while crossing the suspension bridge. We met other trekkers on the road and had such a fun and memorable time ! I definitely highly recommend Nepal Hiking team. You are in good hands by choosing them :) As a female solo traveler, I was a bit worry before leaving Canada but I had nothing to worry with this company :)

  What an amazing experience hiking to Gokyo Ri with this company.
Organisation and correspondence first class. Very flexible with last minute changes to the itinerary not a problem.
Ganga the... read more head honcho always at his efficient best.
His staff were fantastic, Daan our guide very attentive , we ended up as friends , couldn't have asked for a better guide. Pasang our porter with the most amazing smile. Krishna our driver on the second part of our tour to Pokara and Chitwan always driving without risks on some of the worst roads we had encountered for many a year.
Highly recommend the company for it's choice of accommodations throuout the journey were excellent. Would most certainly use this company on any future trip to Nepal
