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 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!

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!
