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.
My group of friends have engaged service of Hari for the EBC trek in 2012, Manaslu 2013, Upper Mustang 2014 and Gokyo Ri 2017. Next year 2023 we may trek again in Nepal and for sure, we will engage Hari again.
Hari has been very accommodating with us, always tries his best to take care of our meals especially with individuals of diverse preferences eg vegetarian and non vegetarian meals. He is also flexible and resourceful enough to deal with individuals who have to abandon the trek because of acute mountain sickness. For instance, he could find horses for those who are too exhausted to walk and even helicopter when flights at Lukla airport were canceled.
Lastly, he has a very cheerful and likeable personality. Never a dull moment with him around. Highly Recommend to Hari & His Company Hillary Step Treks.

Could not have asked for more from Hari and his team for the Annapurna circuit. Very accommodating to all out last minute changes and requests. Always happy to answer our many questions, and so kind and professional. Hari has so much experience in the mountains he's able to cater for everyone. We always felt we were in good hands who did everything possible to make sure we had an incredible time.

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!
