• Annapurna Circuit Trek Incredible Experience

  We had an incredible experience with Nepal Hiking Team. The company was very easy to work with ahead of time - they were responsive to questions and made it easy to customize our trip. Once in Nepal, they went above and beyond to make our trip comfortable, including setting up hotel reservations, taxi rides, etc. 

  The trek itself was an amazing experience. Our guide, Gokul, taught us so much about the region that we otherwise wouldn’t have learned, and was incredibly friendly and fun to be around. Gokul was very serious about ensuring the safety and comfort of our group while trekking. He also brought us to some spots that we otherwise would not have known to go to, including side trails and cultural locations.

  Our porters, Basu and Deepesh, worked very hard throughout the trip to make it enjoyable for everyone. We all shared many laughs together and enjoyable conversations while trekking and in the guest houses.

  I would recommend NHT and specifically Gokul, Basu and Deepesh to anyone who is looking to get the most out of a trek in Nepal.

• Incredible mountain adventure

  We had an amazing time. The company was very quick to reply to our questions and were even able to change the dates of our trek last minute, do to some issues on our end. Our guide Gokul was fantastic and I would be happy to have him as a guide any time I am in Nepal. He was extremely friendly and genuine. Our porters ( Gaurab and Rajendra) worked very hard as well and always had positive energy. The only issues we had with the trek was underestimating how much bottled water costs as well as the itinerary we were given had some errors. We were unable to visit the Buddhist monastery as it closes after the morning but we were not made aware of this. The day we summited was the highlight of the trip but then we also had to hike another 3-4 hours to our beds for the night and if I did the trek again I would opt to stay closer. All in all, it was a fantastic time and I would not hesitate to use this company again as well as name request Gokul as my guide.

• A challenging but rewarding trek - Manaslu in Nepal

  Our group of 13 hikers took on the Manaslu Circuit trek with Nepal Hiking Team, and the experience was truly astonishing as we journeyed through stunning valleys adorned by white snow-covered mountains.

  The Nepal Hiking Team managed every detail seamlessly—from airport pickup and a city tour of Kathmandu to transportation, accommodations, and meals throughout the round trip to Manaslu.

  Our guides (Arun, Gokal, and Surin) were not only knowledgeable but also helpful. Their attentive care made the trek all the more enjoyable. A special touch we appreciated was the fresh fruit served after dinner each night.

  I wholeheartedly recommend Nepal Hiking Team and look forward to trekking and using their services again in the future!

• Mount Kailash Mansarovar Yatra

  Nepal Hiking team handled our trip to Kailash Manasariovar Yatra seamlessly from Day 1 to Day 16. We were a very large group embarked on a Holy Yatra to Kailash Manasarovar from the USA. Proper acclimatization and good food was very important along with good guides to assist and enhance the experience. Gangaji and his guides Arun and Gokul made the trip very effortless. 2 Day hike in Nepal was a very good training for the group.

  Food all along was very good, freshly made to taste and altitude. Baggage handling was quiet an effort and done seamlessly. Health Emergencies were handled to the best as it happens at High altitude and travel.

  Accommodations at Kathmandu (Woodapple hotel) Saga, Kerung, Darchen, Dhirapuk were great. Customized Tshirts, Muffler and Duffel bags were a great souvenir. The whole trip was successful with largest ever group of 33 crossing the DolmaLa pass and having Darshan of Gauri Kund. Customized Holy bath at Manasarovar and Puja were a great addition to the trip.

• 2024 June kailas Mansarovar Parikrma

  June 2024, I did the Kailash Mansarovar Parikrama with Nepal Hiking Team (NHT). It was an amazing experience.

  The management of NHT under Gangaji was perfect—from airport pickup, the entire trip, and drop-off back to the airport.

  While waiting four days after applying for the Chinese Tibetan visa, NHT planned a local overnight practice hike to Nagarkot-Chisapani. This hike prepared us well for the Kailash Kora. We also got to experience Nepal’s National Park and the rustic village life. NHT arranged enough support staff to carry loads for those who needed assistance. Gangaji from NHT also organized an amazing Everest mountain view flight for interested members.

  During the actual Yatra, NHT provided its own food truck and an experienced cooking team, carrying all essentials. We were served freshly cooked hot Indian vegetarian food every day. Thanks to the Dal-Bhat power, there were no food-related issues throughout the trip.

  NHT’s Nepali lead guides, Arun and Gokul, were super helpful and had incredible energy. Even after an exhausting day of hiking, they were always available, ensuring everyone was settled and all arrangements were in place. Our Tibetan guide, Dawa Sherpa Dai, felt like a big brother—he shared so much knowledge about the region’s geography, rivers, and mountains during the road trip.

  The hotels NHT booked for the road journey were relatively new and very good. They even planned packed lunch breaks at scenic locations, making the trip even more enjoyable.

  During the four-day Kora (three days plus an extra Charan Sparsha day), NHT monitored oxygen levels at the end of each day. A few yatris had to turn back due to low oxygen levels, and NHT ensured their exit was handled smoothly. Some were also given the option of an SUV after descending Dolma La Pass.

  Kailash Mansarovar Yatra was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I thoroughly enjoyed it with Nepal Hiking Team. Appreciate all your detailed coordination and support!

• A great trekking company

  We just completed the Langtang Valley Trek with Nepal Hiking Team, and everything was so well organized! The company arranged our accommodation, transport, and three meals a day, making the trek completely stress-free. Our guide, Gokul, was fantastic—super friendly, spoke good English, and knew a lot about the area, always happy to answer our questions. Our porter, Kamal, was also great—he spoke good English and was a lot of fun to be around!

  The Langtang trek itself was amazing, and we were lucky with the weather. What made it even more special was Gokul and Kamal, who went above and beyond to take care of us. We’d definitely recommend Nepal Hiking Team to anyone planning a guided trek in Nepal!
