Had an amazing experience with Nepal Hiking Team on my Chola Pass/Everest Base Camp Trek. From the beginning, I was impressed with their informative and well-laid-out website.
The owner, Ganga, was quick to respond to my questions before, during, and after the trek.
Our guide, Lakpa, was exceptional—very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure trekking with him. Our porter, Sukra, was hardworking and always had our bags ready for us as we arrived at our next destination. I will definitely be using them again the next time I visit Nepal.
A helpful tip for future trekkers: if you are trekking during the peak season and need to fly to and from Lukla via Ramechhap, consider booking helicopter rides between Kathmandu and Lukla. Though more costly, it’s worth evaluating to see if it fits your budget.
This option would save you from the numerous weather delays associated with flying in and out of Lukla and the lengthy 9-hour round-trip van drive between Kathmandu and Ramechhap airport. I wish I had opted for this—definitely something to think about for a smoother journey.
Additionally, for those considering this trek, investing in a good pair of trekking poles and a durable, waterproof backpack cover can significantly enhance your comfort and convenience on the trail. The Nepal Hiking Team can also assist in arranging these items if needed.
