ROWLING VALLEY TREK

  Amazing experience with Prakash and Nepal hiking team - We had an amazing time completing the Everest Base Camp Trek with Nepal Hiking Team in late November and early December 2022, we had already completed another trek with the... read more team (the Annapurna Circuit) back in 2019, so we didn't hesitate to book our second trek in Nepal with them.

Ganga, as always, was responsive right away and answered all of our inquiries. We could even request a specific guide and he allowed us to personalize our trip.

We were wonderfully taken care of by Prakash, who was also our tour guide on the first trek and was the most considerate and helpful guide ever. Throughout the trip, everything ran smoothly and was well organized. For future trekkers, the only thing to be mindful at this time of the year is it can get quite cold at night and bedrooms in tea houses aren't heated! so getting out of the bed was the most challenging time of the day ;)

We want to thank you NHT again for your their great service. We are looking forward to our next treks with Nepal Hiking Team.

  This was our second trek with NHT and we highly recommend this company. The true test of how good a company is how they handle events when things... read more do not go according to plans – ie Lukla airport closed due weather. After waiting a couple of hours at Kathmandu Airport it looked very unlikely that flights would operate for the first day of our trek, so Ganga sorted a helicopter for us so we could start our trek as planned. Although this cost a bit more, it was a memorable experience, flying at low altitudes with incredible views but more importantly it allowed us to keep to our original trekking plan.

We had a fantastic trek and thoroughly recommend the Gokyo Lake/Renjo La trek for those that like the quieter trails. We were lucky enough to get the same guide we had on our first trek with NHT – Gokarna is fantastic and we are so impressed with his knowledge, understanding, care and humour. We also loved our porter Tilak – his smiling face and laughter during our card playing sessions was a delight and not to mention our gratitude to him for carrying our gear over a snowy slippery pass.

NHT are fantastic to trek with, we have complete confidence and trust in them knowing if anything goes go wrong we have the best company/team behind us to sort any issues.

  I spent close to 3-weeks in Nepal centred around the Annapurna Circuit Trek in the early monsoons, had contacted Nepal Hiking Team and Ganga after googling reviews. It was the... read more smoothest welcome to the country.

I was traveling solo and had practically booked my tickets to Kathmandu one day before leaving, purely based on the confidence and reassurance of Ganga - all arrangements were seamless and made right from the moment I landed in Kathmandu. Monsoons are a tricky time to do the circuit, but it offers a different kind of charm and the routes are practically empty, you would be able to experience the magic of the mountains practically alone and it's immensely peaceful. The tea-house towns are empty and you get the pick of the rooms. Nepal Hiking Team arranged for the best tea-houses in every town we stayed in, had the luxury of getting rooms with the best view and attached bathrooms throughout.

I did several chopping and changes to the itinerary to fancy my whims, Ganga and his team were always available and accomodative in the best way possible. Stayed back in Manang for four days and to visit off route Milarepa's Cave and explore the villages before returning to Pokhara and Kathmandu for extended stays. They made both stays extremely well facilitated in extremely good hotels.

A special mention to the Gokarna and Uttam, the boys who shadowed me throughout the trek, looking out for very comfort and helping navigate the tricky monsoon weather and terrain. They're also mini Tik Tok celebrities in their own right and will keep you entertained with their antics.

Nepal has a lot to discover, but if you are looking for a solid foothold to start your voyage, don't think twice before getting in touch with Ganga and team.

  Anapurna Base Camp - I just finished Anapurna Base Camp with my guides Netre & Bassu. From the moment they picked me up at the airport until the last day they took such good... read more care of me. We got the best accommodations and I always got the best room because they are well known. Also the price was absolutely fair and I can only recommend booking with Ganga and his team in Nepal. Btw first half of December is end of the season which makes the experience even better, as there are only few people on the track and you are likely to get a room for yourself, the sky is crystal blue, even though bring warm clothes for the evenings

  Ishwor was an amazing guide. He took care of me and went my speed every step of the way. Always told me "slowly slowly". It really helped a lot to... read more not feel stressed about going up fast or stopping to take photos. Every evening I was given sliced apples to "give me energy for the next day". Without Ishwor, I probably would not have made it to the top.

When I reached Basecamp I got really sick and the Nepal Hiking Team were very helpful in getting me down and cared for as fast as possible. They were fantastic!

Thank you Nepal Hiking Team for taking care of me and making my trip the best it could be.

  In the very busy time when most of the flights to Lukla run from Ramenchap, Ganga managed to get tickets for us from/to Kathmandu. We were visiting Chitwan NP and... read more Lumbini after our Everest Base Camp and had a very tight schedule so we were very grateful that we did not need to spend extra hours on bad roads to get to Ramenchap.

However, our flight back was cancelled due to maintenance issues of the airline. Then Ganga found another flight for us to Kathmandu with another airline with a slight delay of one hour from original schedule. We thought that the uncertainties are over but after landing got a call from Ganga - he already knew that the airline forgot our check-in luggage in Lukla. So he organized the transportation of our bags by helicopter. The bags even arrived on the same day, a few hours after us.

Amazing service! After our trip with Ganga I am sure if you book with Nepal Hiking Team you will get the best trip possible. As Ganga said: "I always deliver what I promise".

Needless to say our EBC trek was very well organised and we had absolutely no issues with whatsoever. Our guide Prakash was very young but very knowledgeable and experienced, spoke English very well, had a nice personality and tried to help us with whatever he could during the trek. He also suggested us to do Kala Patar with sunset instead of sunrise which was better because of the sun position. He kept the trek of time very well which was essential on the day when we visited both the base camp and Kala Patar. With his help we managed to get all 3 summits and also had a longer circuit walk on our acclimatization day in Namche Bazaar.

We did Chitwan NP also with Nepal Hiking Team and had a very nice driver. Also due to our troubles with airline we had to slightly change the schedule of these last days which was not a problem at all with Ganga. In Chitwan we had a very nice boat ride in the morning and safari in the afternoon. We had multiple encounters with rhinos during this safari, one of them was a very close one.

All in all we had a great vacation with Ganga and his team and without their help this trip would not have been possible on such a tight schedule. Highly recommended!!!
