From the moment I was picked up at KTM airport to when I was dropped off at the end, and everything in between, the trip was incredible! Leading up to my departure, I had all sorts of questions and emailed the company numerous times—they always replied quickly and in detail. Ganga, the CEO met with me in Kathmandu the night before my departure for Lukla to ensure everything was all set.
My guide, Kisor, and porter, Bibek, were there at the heli pad to greet me, and they were fantastic throughout! Kisor’s excellent English and vast knowledge made every aspect of the journey richer, covering topics from culture and traditions to food and mountain history. Bibek was always smiling, even while carrying our gear over Renjo La! It was just me and one other person in the group, and I loved the flexibility to adjust our pace, hiking longer or shorter days as we wanted. Kisor always ensured our accommodations and meals were ready and comfortable.
After the trek, I enjoyed a wonderful tour of Kathmandu, visiting four UNESCO sites and learning so much more than I would have on my own (though I can’t recall the guide’s name). This trip was a dream come true, made even more memorable by the amazing team at Nepal Hiking Team!
