Everest Heli Tour

  Ganga, Raj & Nepal Hiking Team took such good care of us throughout our trip. Nothing was too much trouble. We did a 3 day family trek with my parents... read more (age 72) and teenage daughter. Thanks for making us so welcome.

  Very well organized hiking trip. The company management was very helpful, flexible and detailed oriented. The hiking guide Paban and his team Shree Krishna and Ram Sharan were very customer... read more focused and were always cheerful and willing to help to make our journey/trek as smooth and easy as possible. I would recommend the team and the company without any hesitation.

  I had a wonderful time. I enjoyed every minute of my trek. Everything was very well organised. I felt safe. At some point I got sick and thought I would... read more have to stop my journey but guid Gokarna took good care of me and I made all the way to the Everest base camp. If I had to do it again I would definitely choose this company again. I can highly recommend.

  ⛰ DR’s Gokyo Ri & Renjo Pass Big Adventure ? - During the worst of the Pandemic lockdown, I found the best remedy (for me) was to be out in nature and improving my cardio/endurance. But after making the same... read more circuit, time after time, I found I needed a more ‘lofty’ objective to strive for. A goal. That’s when I set my sights on the Himalayas. I had been to Nepal twice. Once for charity work after the 2015 earthquake and once to visit Chitwan National Park. I had always wanted to return for a major hiking trek. Unfortunately, the Pandemic delayed my plans. Ganga of the Nepal Hiking Team changed all that. Ganga patiently stayed in touch, responding in a timely manner, helping me in every step of the planning for my high altitude expedition. He took into account my demanding criteria. Namely, that I wanted to:
- avoid the more crowded routes (EBC)
- Focus on seeing more flora & fauna
- Pass through rustic villages, visit monasteries
- Witness changes in terrain and elevation
- Understand the Sherpa and Tibetan cultures
- And all times, safety first
All this was achieved and more! Ganga and his team fulfilled my ✨wishlist✨ and threw in additional surprises (high suspension bridges, yaks, musk deer, Himalayan goral and what I believe was small groups of Himalayan tahrs.
I also could not have achieved this without my competent, experienced, knowledgeable guide and porter. Sincere thanks to Santosh Sapkota and ‘Man’. Santosh always managed our pace and speed, knowing full well that the last 2 hours of an 8 or 10 hour trek/climb would be the most demanding. Always allowing me to keep something in reserve for when I needed it or knowing when was a good time to take a ‘breather’. He also knew the entire route, every turn and when there would be fascinating diversions. What can I say about Man (my porter)? He was equally knowledgeable, absolutely tireless, sure footed and always a happy, cheerful disposition . What, if anything, would I change? Because everything (particularly Lukla flights, both in and out) went smoothly, I was left with +3 buffer days at the end. I would have liked to have stayed at high altitude - visit or linger at another village. Again, to Ganga’s credit, he was able to arrange a last minute tour of discovery for me of the old town Kathmandu & Bhaktapur with a highly knowledgeable and congenial guide (who’s name escapes me). Many thanks to Ganga, Santosh & Man for creating an adventure of a lifetime - I am already trying to determine my next expedition with Nepal Hiking Team Don

  I did already my third trek with Nepal Hiking Team in December 2022. As with the previous two, the planning and booking with Ganga was very easy. E-Mails were answered... read more very quickly and all my questions were answered. After having done Everest Base Camp and the Ghorepani-Poon Hill trek previously, I chose the less busy region of Langtang valley this time. Nepal Hiking Team prepared a custom 8-day-trek (plus 2 days of driving) in the Langtang valley and including Gosaikunda lake.
My trekking guide Deepak and my porter Rajesh were both very friendly and spoke English well. My guide seemed very knowledgeable of the area and made some small adjustments of the itinerary on the fly (like staying at another village when we arrived at our planned destination early, to make the next day easier). He always made sure I get the best possible room in every guesthouse and I often even had a private bathroom attached to my room. The food on the trek was also very good everywhere.
I have previously trekked in October in Nepal and I was a bit worried that December would be very cold. After having done the trek, I can now say that those worries were not necessary. I actually did not feel like it was colder than in October at all. It was cold at night and in the morning before the sun came up, but that was the same in October. As soon as the sun came out, it was always pretty warm and I had to peel back my layers quite quickly. There was also no snow except for the last few hundred meters before the highest point of the trek. This was also the most challenging part, because the path was quite icy, but it was manageable. The rest of the trek was not difficult for me technically. If you have hiked in the mountains before, you will be fine.
I can fully recommend Nepal Hiking Team for all trekking in Nepal and I will definitely book again with them the next time I will be in the country.
