ROWLING VALLEY TREK

  I’ve had a great experience hiking to Everest Basecamp with my guide Thakal! Also the manager was very friendly and helpful before and after the trek.

  ⛰ DR’s Gokyo Ri & Renjo Pass Big Adventure ? - During the worst of the Pandemic lockdown, I found the best remedy (for me) was to be out in nature and improving my cardio/endurance. But after making the same... read more circuit, time after time, I found I needed a more ‘lofty’ objective to strive for. A goal. That’s when I set my sights on the Himalayas. I had been to Nepal twice. Once for charity work after the 2015 earthquake and once to visit Chitwan National Park. I had always wanted to return for a major hiking trek. Unfortunately, the Pandemic delayed my plans. Ganga of the Nepal Hiking Team changed all that. Ganga patiently stayed in touch, responding in a timely manner, helping me in every step of the planning for my high altitude expedition. He took into account my demanding criteria. Namely, that I wanted to:
- avoid the more crowded routes (EBC)
- Focus on seeing more flora & fauna
- Pass through rustic villages, visit monasteries
- Witness changes in terrain and elevation
- Understand the Sherpa and Tibetan cultures
- And all times, safety first
All this was achieved and more! Ganga and his team fulfilled my ✨wishlist✨ and threw in additional surprises (high suspension bridges, yaks, musk deer, Himalayan goral and what I believe was small groups of Himalayan tahrs.
I also could not have achieved this without my competent, experienced, knowledgeable guide and porter. Sincere thanks to Santosh Sapkota and ‘Man’. Santosh always managed our pace and speed, knowing full well that the last 2 hours of an 8 or 10 hour trek/climb would be the most demanding. Always allowing me to keep something in reserve for when I needed it or knowing when was a good time to take a ‘breather’. He also knew the entire route, every turn and when there would be fascinating diversions. What can I say about Man (my porter)? He was equally knowledgeable, absolutely tireless, sure footed and always a happy, cheerful disposition . What, if anything, would I change? Because everything (particularly Lukla flights, both in and out) went smoothly, I was left with +3 buffer days at the end. I would have liked to have stayed at high altitude - visit or linger at another village. Again, to Ganga’s credit, he was able to arrange a last minute tour of discovery for me of the old town Kathmandu & Bhaktapur with a highly knowledgeable and congenial guide (who’s name escapes me). Many thanks to Ganga, Santosh & Man for creating an adventure of a lifetime - I am already trying to determine my next expedition with Nepal Hiking Team Don

  I did the EBC helicopter shuttle trek in oct-nov 2022. The organization of the trip worked well and we had the possibility to change small aspects to better suit us.... read more
I got sick during the trek with a stomach flu which lasted almost the whole trek. The guide made sure I was able to continue (as per my own wishes) and accomendated me to make the trek as easy as possible and give me as much rest as I needed. Thanks Mr Basu!
I would recommend NHT for this trip.

  We did a 14 day Annapurna Circuit trek with Nepal Hiking Team 28 Apr - 12 May 2022. Communication leading up to the trip was fantastic, and we felt we... read more had all the information we needed for this big adventure, one we'd never done the likes of before!

We had Indra as a guide and Gakul as a porter and they were such great company. We learned so much more about the wilderness, region, and country we were traveling through because of them! Card games, board games, words, culture, we learned so much just hiking and chatting with Indra and Gakul.

At almost every teahouse, we managed to get a bed that could sleep two, which was a pleasant surprise. We always had pomegranate seeds and apple slices for dessert, courtesy of our guide and porter. Ordering food and arranging accommodation was a breeze with them helping us.

Other groups we saw hiking on their own looked like they had a good time, but they mostly socialized amongst themselves. With our guide and porter, we got to meet other guides and porters and learn about where they came from, which made the experience much deeper and more authentic to us. We were on the fence about hiring a company to help us with the trek, but are so glad we went with Nepal Hiking Team!

Would 100% hire them again for our next trek.

  We had a great time in our recent EBC trekking and highly recommend the service provided by Nepal Hiking Team. They are very responsive for email communication and always promptly... read more answer any questions that we had.

I would also like to thank our guides (Arun and Manoj) for their experiences and responsiveness when one of our team member suffered an acute high altitude sickness. They arranged quick evacuation and avoided potential serious outcomes.
