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 had an amazing experience on our 9-day Annapurna Base Camp trek via Poon Hill. Special shoutout to Hari, who helped organize the entire trip seamlessly, from permits to guesthouse stays along the way. Everything was smooth and well-planned. Prior to the trek, Hari was also very responsive and patient in answering all our questions and doubts, which made us feel well-prepared.
Our trip was accompanied by a young guide, Milan, and a porter, Plekta. Milan was friendly and enthusiastic, though still learning and gaining experience in guiding.
A huge thank you to our incredible porter, Plekta — strong, reliable, and so much more than a porter. Despite speaking very limited English, he guided and supported us every step of the way with genuine care and a constant smile. I felt safe, encouraged, and truly looked after throughout the journey.

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!!

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!
