We've had a fantastic experience with Nepal Hiking Team, and our guide, Suraj Shrestha, has been incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and encouraging throughout this challenging journey.
We feel very fortunate to have made it to both Tilicho Lake and Thorong La Pass, especially after the heavy snowfall the day before. Thanks to the team’s well-considered itinerary, we were able to conserve our energy and fully enjoy capturing the stunning scenery.

We wanted to do the Annapurna Circuit after doing EBC back in 2023. This year, we came back and did the “highlight” part of the circuit with Suraj — Tilicho Lake and Thorong La Pass.
Suraj was super helpful the whole way. Gave us a solid briefing every night and always checked in on how we were feeling as we went higher. Proper looked after us.
It actually kept snowing the night before both our big days — 1) Tilicho Lake and 2) Thorong La.
We started at 4am for both, and the snowy path made things a bit trickier. But Suraj stayed close, made sure we didn’t get lost or slip — honestly felt safe the whole time.
Would 100% come back for more treks in Nepal 😊
Just finished my first Nepal trek on the Annapurna Circuit route. The 8-day hike was amazing — great weather, and our guide was super helpful and spoke fluent English. Our porter was really cheerful and supportive too.
We made it to both Tilicho Lake and Thorong La Pass safely. I’d definitely recommend booking a guide and porter — it makes a huge difference, especially at high altitude.
You can ask Nepal Hiking Team anything — they’ll sort it out for you, no worries.
Huge thanks to the Nepal Hiking Team — especially Mr. Ganga, our awesome guide Navaraj Thapa (Ratz), and our strong-as-an-ox porter Sudan Ghale.
We kicked things off planning from our desk back home, and big shoutout to Mr. Naba for being super quick and helpful with sorting out our trek itinerary. Everything ran like clockwork — from the airport pickup to hashing out the last trek details in Kathmandu.
From the moment Ratz and Sudan picked us up at the hotel, the real adventure kicked off. These guys are total pros. Always smiling, always in a good mood, and honestly, they had our backs every step of the way — even when things got tough.
We shared a bunch of laughs, loads of stories, and covered serious ground through the stunning Annapurna region. And Tilicho Lake? Just wow. It was 16 days of unforgettable moments and some serious bonding.
Couldn’t have asked for a better crew. We’re already dreaming about coming back.
Nepal Hiking Team — 100% recommend. Go for it. You’ll be in the best hands.

This was my first time trekking to a high altitude. This company took care of everything for us. Everything was up front and on time. I was met at the airport and taken to a very nice hotel.
We did a great city tour of Kathmandu prior to my trek, set up by Nepal Hiking Team. My guide, Kishor Karki was so good. He helped us get our flight and make changes very quickly so we could start on time. He was always ready to answer questions and explain things. He is very knowledgeable and hevas a great sense of humor. He really made the trip.
The other NHT guides I met during the trip were also very friendly. We made it to Everest base camp! If you’re interested, don’t hesitate. They make everything go smoothly.

Incredible time with Nepal hiking team. I had the pleasure of having Uttam and Ngima as our guides, with Rajas and Vinood as our porters. What an incredible team. They really made the trip memorable, easy, and funny at times.
I felt safe with them; they had a good medical first aid kit. They knew the paths well. They would coordinate tea houses for us ahead of time and were really flexible with our needs.
When hiccups happened with flights (weather-related, out of their control), they would provide us with options and how to best adjust to unforeseen circumstances. They really had a breadth of experience.
Most importantly, I saw multiple guides and porters from Nepal hiking team come together to help a young person sick with altitude illness. Their quick thinking and strong will helped them coordinate a rescue effort quickly.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Nepal Hiking Team, Uttam, Ngima, Rajas and Vinood to anyone!
My partner and I have just completed the 22-day Everest High Passes Trek (Three Passes and Everest Base Camp, anticlockwise) with Nepal Hiking Team, along with our amazing guide Raj and porter Shrawan.
From the start, the whole experience was incredibly smooth. Ganga from Nepal Hiking Team was super responsive to all our emails, even managed to book us onto a last-minute trek, and provided thorough briefings both before and after. Everything — from the airport pickup in Kathmandu to the final drop-off — was so well organised, and the team stayed professional throughout.
The Woodapple Hotel, where they put us up in Kathmandu, was great too — fab location, beautiful city views, lovely rooms, and tasty food.
Raj was brilliant. He’s an experienced guide, speaks great English, and is just genuinely friendly and supportive. He always made us feel safe, whether we were dealing with altitude, feeling unwell, or just unsure about the trail. He made sure we were booked into good accommodation, gave us detailed daily briefings, and told us what to expect and what to pack. He was super attentive and always checked that we were comfortable, happy, and well-fed.
Shrawan, our porter, was also fantastic — always early to collect our bags and somehow always at the tea house before us with everything ready. He had the biggest smile and stuck with us during all three passes to make sure we crossed them safely as a group.
We’ve absolutely loved this trek and would 100% book with Nepal Hiking Team again. Highly recommend them — and definitely ask for Raj as your guide if you can!

Can’t even put into words how amazing this trip was. First, the hospitality shown by everyone from the Nepal Hiking Team was extraordinary. Our guide, Uttam, was there to pick us up from the airport when we arrived and was amazing while we were on our trek and after the trek until we were departing Nepal. He was encouraging, informative, and he never missed a chance to make our trip better, including cutting fresh fruit every night, constantly making sure we were feeling okay during the trek, and even taking us around Kathmandu when we returned to find souvenirs for our family. Our porter, Binod, was also amazing and always had a smile on his face. Ganga gave us all of the information we needed before the trip and made sure we were well informed and ready. This was a great trip, but the people we met along the way really pushed the experience over the edge and made it truly unforgettable.
Second, we knew that we were embarking on a beautiful journey, but nothing could have prepared us for the actual views we were treated to. Coming from the US, we simply do not have anything to compare to the size of the mountains we saw on this trek. The views from Kala Patthar and Nagerjun were truly breathtaking. You get to see so many beautiful mountains along the way, our favorite was the multiple viewpoints of Ama Dablam. Everything we saw from the bridges to the wildlife to the changing scenery was spectacular and made this a trip of a lifetime.
Lastly, the little things that our guide (Uttam) and the Nepal Hiking team did for us was a significant boost to the experience. Uttam made sure we were comfortable, that we always had water, he took our meal order at every meal, and he made us feel at home in Nepal. He always gave a us a preview of our next days hike at dinner the night before so we were well prepared and ready for the coming day. He never missed a chance to take pictures of us along the trek and he motivated us on the hard days.
This was hands down one of the best vacations we’ve ever had. Can’t wait to come back to Nepal someday!
The trek was exceptional! It was also smooth having Asha as a guide as he knows everything and arranges everything beforehand. The Nepal Hiking Team also organizes everything from your arrival and departure to Kathmandu.
It was peak period, thus we had to take a 4-hour drive to Ramecchap airport for a flight to Lukla. I don't know if it is Asha's luck but we were able to take a flight on time despite the previous days' cancellations (and would later know that the following 4-5 days had cancelled flights as well). It was the same on our flight from Lukla to Ramecchap! We were also able to take flight despite the other day's cancellation.
Every day, NHT and Asha would try to book the best available lodge in the trek for maximum comfort for their guests. Asha would also cut apples for dessert at dinner, making sure I was healthy, haha.
The last few days of the trek were difficult due to the oxygen level, but Asha kept on reminding us to just go slow to avoid getting a bad sickness.
Overall, the trip was great! NHT and Asha made sure everything was smooth. This is definitely a trip of a lifetime, and choosing them was a very good decision.
Hard to Describe Such an Incredible Experience in one review. I booked a 14-day trek with Nepal Hiking Team to do EBC and Cho La Pass as a solo traveller. I joined a group of seven, which ended up being the perfect size—big enough to be social, but not so large that it felt overwhelming. Everyone was lovely, with a great mix of ages, nationalities, solo travellers, and friends.
I was honestly so impressed with how smoothly everything went. From airport pickup to the comfortable hotel in Thamel, and the entire trek itself—everything was well organized. Our guide, Ram, was always smiling, full of energy, and kept us motivated on the tough days. Ramgee, our assistant guide, was incredibly kind and even sang beautiful songs while we hiked. The porters were amazing—so helpful and kind. A few times, after dropping our big bags, they even came back to help with daypacks!
The tea houses were cozy and always had good food. Some of us did get sick—kind of expected on this trek—but the guides were great, helping with meds and giving us time to rest. At the end of the trek, flights from Lukla were getting cancelled, but we were somehow on the first flight out. No delays to our travel plans, which was such a relief.
Overall, it was an exceptional, once-in-a-lifetime experience made unforgettable by Nepal Hiking Team. If you’re a solo traveller looking to trek in Nepal, I’d highly recommend this company. Huge thanks to Ganga, Ram, and the whole team!
