I am impressed at the service level of Nepal Hiking Team and the quality of the teams with us for our 17 days in Nepal. Gangga prior was ever patient and present with our neverending questions (and flight changes!) All logistics were organized perfectly.
We were a group of 6 friends and did the Annapurna circuit, followed by some activities in Pokhara, Nagarkot sunrise hike, and cultural tours in and around Kathmandu. All are organized by NHT.
The guide, asst guide & porters were always there to support. Attentive to our needs and general (fatigue) state. Briefings were made daily and safety was taken into consideration. The whole team mobilized to support us and make this experience an enjoyable one. They selected very good tea houses and tried to give us the best rooms. We had no restrictions on food & drinks for meals. There was always someone available to support our request and help us. It helped that the porter had broken basic English.

During the trek, we had a 2-speed group, and the porters, assistant guide, and guide managed us very well, so we had a stress-free experience all at our own pace. Our Thorong La pass crossing was exceptionally difficult for this season with crampons, and knee-high snow. Very cold weather on the last two nights. But we did it all safely (for one of us, a horse was needed for the very last stretch and arranged smoothly by our guide at high camp). A very special thanks to Prakash, Sabin, Tuk, Rhaj, and Prabin! Amazing team.
During the following days, we had 2 city tours, Kumar was our guide in Patan, Bhaktapur and Kathmandu. A very knowledgeable guide with lots of anecdotes. We learned a lot, and he could talk about a lot of other interesting topics about Nepal. Great general culture & happily chat/share about Nepal's history and religions.
Overall, our group had a blast & everything was so very smoothly and professionally organized. I will recommend them happily.
