The troubles are over, and the country is safe again. Look at this video to see how kindly tourist buses were treated even during the protest.
We had such an amazing experience hiking to Annapurna Base Camp, and a lot of it had to do with the incredible guides and porters who really took care of us. Ask for a detailed itinerary before your trip so you can train properly and come prepared, although flexibility is necessary if terrain changes or other weather events occur. Along the way, you can expect lots of dancing from the music-loving porters, unbelievable views, and delicious tea and Meals. If you’re thinking about trekking in Nepal, you won’t regret going with Hillary Step Treks!

Doing the trek with Hari was a great experience as he ensured that it was tailored to our different fitness levels. He always picked the best guesthouses and asked for feedback to ensure they had a good stay (and will change the guesthouses that we’re not up to standard in the future). Hari made the trek fun and he shared all his knowledge along the way (we had lots of questions!). Hari was very quick to communicate via email and WA and also adapted to changes quickly (as one of us missed our flight and he changed the itinerary for us at the last minute). I would highly recommend Hari and his company( Hillary Step Treks) for any treks you plan in Nepal: you will be in good hands!!

We went in a private group of 9 for ABC trek in mid-May 2024. Our tour was guided by Harry and an assistant guide, with 5 other porters during the 8-day trek. The team of guides and porters are extremely experience, reliable and fun to be around. Harry was an awesome guy - he led the team with comfortable pace to ensure that we acclimatised properly. All in all, highly recommended the tour.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Hillary Step Treks. They organized a trek to Pikey Peak for me on short notice, and everything—from logistics to lodging to guiding—was handled flawlessly. The team was responsive, attentive, and genuinely committed to making the trip special. Hari, the manager, was responsive at all hours of day, took into account all my requests and even went out of his way to pick me up at the airport. My guide, Ramesh was knowledgeable, warm, and made the journey both safe and unforgettable. Both he and Bisal, the porter, took wonderful care of me, including figuring out how to retrieve my phone when I left it behind in a lodge.
I couldn’t have asked for a better-organized adventure. I highly recommend Hillary Step to anyone looking for a seamless and memorable trekking experience in Nepal!
