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.
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!

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!!

Well planned, excellently executed and well organised trip by Hari and his team. They are friendly, accommodating, extremely helpful, experienced and generous. Our group had an amazing and unforgettable trek at Annapurna Base Camp

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!
