Incredible Annapurna Trek Experience by Hillary Steps

Jackie Lai

Our experience trekking to Annapurna Base Camp was made truly exceptional by Hillary Steps Treks, and in particular, our incredible guides, Jay and Dewa.

From the very beginning, the team demonstrated professionalism, care, and deep knowledge of the mountains. Jay, as our main guide, led with confidence and calm assurance. His ability to read the group’s pace, manage the itinerary, and ensure everyone’s safety at high altitude was remarkable. Beyond that, his passion for the Himalayas and his storytelling brought the journey to life in a way that went far beyond just trekking.

Dewa, as the assistant guide, was equally outstanding, always attentive, encouraging, and ready to lend a helping hand. Whether it was checking in on each of us, adjusting to individual needs, or simply offering a warm smile after a long day’s hike, his presence made a real difference to the group’s morale.

What stood out most was the genuine care both Jay and Dewa showed. They didn’t just guide us — they looked after us like family. Every detail, from acclimatisation to logistics, was thoughtfully handled, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience.

Thanks to them, our Annapurna Base Camp journey was not only safe and well-organised, but deeply memorable and meaningful. I would highly recommend Hillary Trekking Group to anyone seeking an authentic and well-supported Himalayan adventure.

My wife and I spent almost a month with Hari last year doing the Manaslu and Tsum Valley Trek. We had the most incredible trip and in Hari we couldn't have imagined having a better guide. Patient, attentive but not overbearing, able to adapt our itinerary to suit our level of fitness to maximise our enjoyment of the trek. He always knew the best place to stay and who had the best food. We have travelled all over the world and this has been my favorite trip to date.

"We had a fantastic trip with Hari as our guide for the Manaslu Circuit and the Tsum Valley. Hari was great - he always knew the best place to stay, best place to eat, best views and side trips to take. He was knowledgeable of the local customs, full of interesting stories, facts and figures and above all fun to be around. It was a real pleasure to have him as our guide - he made our holiday truly memorable. We can't thank him enough."

Hari was an exceptional guide from the time I arrived at the airport to when he dropped me off. The itinerary was impeccably organized, he was flexible to meet my preferences, and knew the routes and surroundings very well. Hari is very well-liked by the other guides which is helpful in the hostels, and is also good with people. I recommend him highly enough.
