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!!

Thank you guys for making our trip memorial. Our guides Hari and Porter Ram were very good people. The guide knows everything about the route and frankly, always takes us best lodges in the area and very knowledgeable Person. They provide us best services and they teach us Nepali words, we had a lot of fun singing and dancing. The valley is very beautiful with local culture and Mountain View. Thank you, boys, we will be back soon for another trek. And Highly Recommend Hillary Step Treks and Boys.

We were three friends going for the trek Gokyo-Cho la Pass-EBC over 15 days back in 2019. Hari has been the perfect guide. One of us had severe altitude sickness at Gokyo but Hari remained calm thanks to his experience and instead of sending him back with the helicopter, he prepared and suggested an alternative route first to go down by 600 meters to feel better and then to explore less touristic areas. It was a good alternative where we were immersed in the local culture. We had as well two porters Bikash and Shem who were both very reliable. Overall a great experience, we will be back!
