Nepal Hiking Team organised a rather complicated 30 day bespoke holiday for me and a friend: two schoolfriends now in our late 70's. We asked to be taken ,first, up the Langtang valley, then to the Chinwan nature reserve, then to Pokhara and then to Poon Hill. When booking something like this there is always some worry about whether you are dealing with an honest and reliable organisation but these worries evaporated when we arrived at our hotel in Kathmandu and were greeted by Ganga and our guide Ram. We were given travel bags, jackets and sleeping bags all of which were to be carried by a so-called "porter." I should explain here that a "porter" is an unbelievably strong Gurkha who can carry up to 50kgs of baggage up and down mountains and through rivers, with the entire weight being supported on his head by a piece of plastic webbing cut from an agricultural sack; and without anyone giving him any credit for this unbelievable skill. From the quality of the equipment it was immediatelly apparent that we were dealing with a highly responsible organisation who knew what they were doing. This impression was reinforced throughout the holiday. Ganga was always available on the phone when we had queries and was always happy to make changes to the schedule when we requested it. The guide, Ram, was clearly a top man in his profession: our Langtang hike was frustrated by terrible weather and landslides. which destroyed bridges and the return path. Many people in Nepal perished but Ram was cleverly able to find a route back for us which involved a day climbing above the landslides and then half-sliding back down again along an improvised route. At all times, Ram, being aware of my advanced years, was ready to catch me should I fall!Transport between the different locations was always efficiently arranged including a flight from Pokhara back to Kathmandu.In conclusion, I have no hesitation in recommending Nepal Hiking Team for a safe, reliable but adventurous trip to Nepal.
