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.

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!!

Excellent private tour. Our guide was incredibly knowledgable and gave us a fantastic day during the trek. We are well traveled and have high standards, and we were very happy with our tour guide.
Thank You Harri!!

I contacted Hari and Harka wanting to do a trek that would allow me to experience both the mountains and the culture of Nepal. Although I had a specific route in mind, Harka and Hari designed an even better trek based on my desired experience. I did the Ruby Valley trek with Hari and his team in October. We stayed in the homes of villagers each night who also cooked for us. The most special part of the trek was getting to stay in the village where Hari and his team had grown up. They had not seen their families in years and we were overcome with emotion watching the reunion. It was a moment I will never forget! Every step of the way, Hari and his team made sure that my friends and I had what we needed to feel comfortable and enjoy the trek. After my friends went home, I continued on with Hari to complete the Langtang trek. I have recommended Hari, Harka, and their team to everyone I have encountered who wants to trek in Nepal. You will not find better care anywhere else!
