We did the EBC trek from 29th March to 9th April 2024 as a group of 5 friends with Gyanendraji as our guide. The trek itself was breathtaking and challenging at times due to the the terrain and altitude what made it enjoyable for us was Gyanji's endless positivity (mushkil nahi hai), anecdotes enroute, and meticulous planning behind the scenes to ensure our accommodation/meals/rest was comfortable! Thanks to Gyaniji, the Dev our assistant and the sherpas all of us were able to enjoy and complete the trek with our spirits high!

We travelled as a couple to Kathmandu for the Anna Purna Base Camp Trek with Heli Return. From the moment we contacted Hari we knew we were in good hands. He was very responsive over email during the planning stages of our trek. He was really flexible with our dates, we had an itinerary change at the last moment which he accommodated with no issues at all. Hari picked us up at the airport and facilitated our hotel in Kathmandu. He was available for questions and met with us to map out how the following few days would go. He was an excellent guide on our trek, walking at a perfect pace for us. Hari booked us into some great guest houses along the way and made sure we were well fed. He even managed to find some coffee shops with excellent baked treats. Our porter Meshek was a lovely guy with impressive strength. We had a great trek and were super happy that we booked a helicopter return which was spectacular. We would most definitely choose Hillary Step Treks for our next adventure. Thanks Hari!

Ramesh was a great guide. He has a lot of experience and knows English well, so the communication was smooth. During the trekking we had nice conversations about the local features, life in Nepal or the history of the valley. But Ramesh also recognized when we needed time for ourselves and just wanted to hike in peace and unwind.
Milan is an incredibly nice and cheerful person. As he is actually also a guide, he also speaks good English. He was always in a good mood during the entire tour, including the pass crossing, and always had a smile on his face despite the large carrier bag.
The trek is very varied and was a wonderful experience. You start on the very busy and well-developed Annapurna Trek from Chamje to Koto. Here we hiked in forested areas, sometimes on the road, where jeeps and motorcycles can also be seen. You can clearly see the impact tourism has had on the area. Modern buildings have been erected everywhere and there are many hotels and restaurants. From Koto, we left the Annapurna Trail in the direction of the Nar Phu Valley. In contrast to the route to Koto, the Nar Phu Valley is much quieter and less touristy. On average, we saw maybe 1-2 other tourists per day. The villages and the whole trek feel much more untouched and authentic. The villages are still mainly supplied by mules. In Nar, Ramesh took us to a Buddhist monastery where we were able to take part in a ceremony. The locals are incredibly friendly and helpful. During a walk through the village in Phu, we were spontaneously invited by a nice lady to a religious lecture in the village. During the lecture, the participants were served tea and local food, among other things. The highlight of the trek was finally crossing the pass. We started the day at 4:30 am before sunrise. Ramesh and Milan took very good care of us. They took regular breaks and kept reminding us to eat and drink. After the Kang-La Pass you are back on the Annapurna trek and walk the last days back to the starting point.
The organization and communication with Hillary Step Treks was also flawless. All our wishes were catered for. We were warmly welcomed at the airport in Kathmandu and driven to our hotel. As we traveled on to Pokarah after the trek, the rest of our luggage, which was unnecessary for the trek, was transported there directly. Hari also helped us choose a hotel in Pokhara and stored our luggage there.
All in all, my girlfriend and I were more than satisfied with the service. Ramesh and Milan were always accommodating and really went out of their way to make sure we had the best experience possible. Should we ever have the opportunity to travel to Nepal again, we will definitely book another trek with Hillary step trek!
I and other family/friends have trekked with Hari many times over the last 15 years. He and the team are fantastic- low key, organized and everything runs like clockwork. Feel lucky to have seen so much of Nepal with the HST team. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Everest base camp trek. An incredible life-changing experience. I was with a small group which I found enhanced the experience and make it more personal. My guide and my porter were some of the nicest people I have ever met, after the trek, we shared a meal at both their places which were magical and I am still in touch with my guide Hari. Coolest guy! Planning my next trek soon for sure.
