A great Experience

I reserved an 11-day Everest Base Camp trek with N

I reserved an 11-day Everest Base Camp trek with Nepal Hiking over the Chinese New Year. Their pre-trip communication via Email and WhatsApp was exemplary. They seamlessly managed our airport logistics, transfers, and lodging. Our guide and porters significantly enriched the experience. Given the quality and value, I highly endorse them for such adventures.

Excellent Support Team

Thank you to our Nepalese friend and tour operator

Thank you to our Nepalese friend and tour operator Tilak, guide Pasang, and porter Raj for their excellent support during my stay in Nepal. I had a wonderful time with you guys. Without your supporting team, my trek to Everest Base Camp wouldn't have been possible. I have shared my photos with my friends. And they are very jealous looking at the photos. Some of them want to do the same trek we did. So, I have forwarded your website; they will contact you soon.

Everest Base Camp was truly unforgettable

My trip to Everest Base Camp, coordinated by Nepal

My trip to Everest Base Camp, coordinated by Nepal Hiking's Tilak, was an unforgettable experience. The awe-inspiring scenery, challenging routes, and friendly locals were elevated by the invaluable assistance from my guide, Ram. I highly recommend Nepal Hiking for treks in this region, particularly Ram, for his expertise, warmth, and strong English skills. My deepest thanks to all who helped turn my dream into reality.
