Trek: 18-Day Classic Annapurna Circuit TrekGuide: Sam TamangWe completed the Classic Annapurna Circuit with the Nepal Hiking Team, led by our guide Sam Tamang, and couldn’t recommend them more highly.From the very first contact, Sam impressed us with his professionalism and care. He reached out before the trek to check our gear and offered valuable advice based on the weather — which proved absolutely right.Throughout the journey, Sam was calm, organised, and quietly confident. He managed all logistics — meals, tea houses, and timing — with precision, while giving us the freedom to explore and enjoy the trek at our own pace.Sam is clearly respected among other guides, who often sought his advice. He demonstrated deep knowledge of Nepal’s culture, history, and geography, always answering our questions with insight and patience.We always felt safe and supported, even in challenging conditions. Sam noticed our love for nature and waterfalls and somehow always found tea houses in the most peaceful, beautiful settings.We trekked with Sam and one porter, who was young, hardworking, and full of enthusiasm. Sam guided him patiently, keeping everything running smoothly and holding the group together with calm leadership.This trek was far more than just a physical journey — it was a deeply meaningful experience made possible by Sam’s expertise and character. We left Nepal full of gratitude and admiration.If you’re considering the Annapurna Circuit, request Sam Tamang. You’ll be in the best possible hands. Nepal Hiking Team operates with professionalism, care, and integrity — and Sam perfectly represents all of those values.
We had a very good trekking experience with Nepal Hiking Team. The trip offered amazing experiences but also came with some challenges due to unfortunate weather conditions and the political situation in Nepal at the time. Throughout it all, the service and support from the company were professional and reliable.Despite the obstacles we encountered during the trek, everything was handled well, and we felt safe and well taken care of. The team showed flexibility and a genuine concern for our well-being, which made a big difference to the overall experience.A special mention and sincere thanks go to our guide Asha. He was highly professional, calm, and attentive at all times. Asha was excellent at adjusting the pace, looking after everyone in the group, and sharing his knowledge about the region and local culture. His positive attitude and reassuring presence were especially valuable on the more demanding days of the trek.Even after our trip had ended, Nepal Hiking Team continued to provide good and professional service by helping with follow-up questions and providing the necessary documents.Overall, we can warmly recommend Nepal Hiking Team to anyone considering trekking in Nepal, especially if you are looking for a trustworthy company with skilled and dedicated guides.
If you're looking for a guided hike in Nepal, search no more.My wife and I just completed the Annapurna Circuit Trek (ACT) with Nepal Hiking Team, and we couldn't be happier with the experience.Before choosing an agency, we did extensive research—reaching out only to companies with the highest number of excellent reviews. We contacted all of them with our planned itinerary. Among them, Ganga, the owner of Nepal Hiking Team, stood out immediately. He was incredibly responsive, patiently answered every question, offered thoughtful suggestions, and helped us fine-tune our trek down to the smallest details. During the hike, we realized just how valuable every piece of his advice was. That’s what convinced us to choose Nepal Hiking Team over the others.From the moment we met our guide Paban at the airport, we knew we had made the right choice. Paban was nothing short of amazing—attentive, thoughtful, and always one step ahead. He secured the best tea house rooms in advance, saved us a good spot at dinner, ensured we were eating, drinking, and resting properly, and prioritized our safety throughout the trek. His care and dedication truly made our trip unforgettable.We’re deeply thankful to Ganga, Paban, and the entire Nepal Hiking Team for making our trek perfect, and we will definitely choose them again for our next adventure in Nepal.
We successfully completed the Everest Base Camp (EBC) trekking (12-day) with Nepal Hiking Team (NHT) from 7th April 2025 to 22nd April 2025. Two days on either side were for preparation and rest - contingency planning if required.Firstly, we wholeheartedly convey our thanks to the owner, Ganga Thapa (Ganga Ji) and our guide, Arjun Dahal. We cannot forget our two porters (Aash Kumar Rai and Janam Rai) - who lifted heavy duffel bags from location to location, making our lives easier.The NHT made our experience easy by lifting any burden from us, as well as answering any questions we had promptly. We were impressed by the efficient communication and organisation shown by the entire NHT. This was the cornerstone for our successful completion of the EBC. Our health was very important to Arjun, who completed his health checks on us to ensure we were not suffering from a lack of oxygen.Arjun is very experienced and would have confidence in recommending his to anyone thinking about trekking the EBC route. The porters, are the silent, work-horses who do all the hard work so that we can have an easier life. We really appreciated all their efforts.We were also provided with a down-jacket, -20 degrees celsius sleeping bag and duffel bag (gifted at the end of the trek).Things did not always go to plan. However, what was important was how well things were handled by the NHT (Ganga Ji, Arjun, Aash and Janam).We have no hesitation in recommending the NHT to anyone wishing to complete the EBC trekking.RegardsNadeem AslamTajammal Nadeem ButtMuhammad Zameer
Had the adventure of a lifetime on the Everest Trek. Arjun Dahal are guide was brilliant we felt very safe in his hands, and had great knowledge. A pleasure to be in his company. Are porter Jeevan was very friendly and helpful. Thanks to them we achieved our goals. We will never forget the trip
As newbies to Nepal, we wanted to book with a reputable company to provide that initial security. Just because of the unknown of a new land. What we got was simply the best possible service and we quickly felt extremely comfortable in this amazing country. The Nepal Hiking Team were professional, courteous and looked to enhance your experiences at every opportunity. Customer satisfaction is extremely important for them and they demonstrated constant care throughout the 3 weeks we had with them. The 3 weeks covered trekking to ABC, a few days in Pokhara, on to Chitwan for a breath-taking jungle tour with an overnight in the tower in the jungle before ending the trip back in the bustling capital of Kathmandu. Every step of the way, they were on time, provided additional options when requested and made our stay in Nepal better than our expectations. Great rooms (even on the ABC trek), clear agenda and easy customisation of our trip. Many many thanks to Ganga and the whole team - porters, guides, drivers, hotel staff, kitchen staff and all. Special thanks to Paban and Govinda who were our guides to Annapurna Base Camp - clearly the highlight - and they made me and my partner feel at ease, exercised patience and experience and contributed to the all-round team camaraderie. We shall be back to book with NHT on a new trek next year :)
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.
Don’t look further! Book with Nepal Hiking Team! Thakal was my guide to EBC. I can’t say enough about his warm kindness and genuine care of my safety. From the moment I landed in Nepal to my departure, Nepal Hiking Team took care of all the details to make my trip flawless and safe. The hotel before and after the trek was amazing and so relaxing. I am already planning my next trip with them and so grateful for their support.
I have booked the EBC and back through CholaPass trek with NHT. Prakash Sapkota has been my guide. I think he did an outstanding job in explaining the treks, sharing the stories of the mountains and subtly weighing and assessing my general health condition. He was friendly and dependable. I can highly recommend both Prakash and Nepal Hiking Team!
