Rajat A India

One of the best local tour operators for EBC.

12-Sep-2024

One of the best tour operators for Everest Base Camp (EBC). Excellent management and a great team of guides/porters. Very knowledgeable with strong local connections. As a group of 13 friends, we were pleasantly surprised by the tour operator's flexibility and their ability to cater to our last-minute changes, exceeding our expectations in terms of stay and food options. They also provide sleeping bags, duffle bags, and down jackets as complimentary for the entire trek, apart from their Tshirt, Cap etc.

Simply the best- dream makers.

12-Sep-2024

This company is simply the best. Could not imagine doing this trek without them. Very professional and friendly and caring. I ended up calling them the dream makers. My wife and I are both 66 years old and they made this challenging hike very achievable. I can’t recommend them enough. This is the company to go through. From top to bottom these guys are pros and take care of everything. We will use them again in the future to go Everest base camp.

An unforgettable trek to EBC with Nepal Hiking team

12-Sep-2024

I recently completed the Everest Base Camp trek with Nepal Hiking Team, and it was truly an unforgettable adventure. Our lead guide, Ram, was outstanding, showcasing both patience and expertise throughout the journey. His leadership made us feel safe and well-supported at every stage. We were also fortunate to have assistant guides Vikas and Sabin, who went above and beyond in offering assistance and encouragement. The porters were incredibly helpful and kind, ensuring our trekking experience was smooth and enjoyable. The accommodations and meals were fantastic, far exceeding our expectations, which added comfort to this challenging trek. Overall, Nepal Hiking Team set the bar high for trekking experiences in Nepal, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a memorable journey in the Himalayas.
