I recently went on a trek around Dhaulagiri with Nepal Hiking. Like before, they gave great service at a good price. They picked me up from Tribhuvan airport, provided clean places to stay in Kathmandu, and had helpful porters and guides. They really care about their customers’ safety and happiness.

The Dhaulagiri Trek was hard and far away. There were steep hills, landslides, a lot of snow, and it was very cold. But Nepal Hiking had skilled leaders, good gear, and really looked after us. You should try them; you’ll be glad you did.

My most recent trek with Nepal Hiking was circumnavigation of the Dhaulagiri massif west of the Annapurnas. As with other trips they delivered a top quality product at a very reasonable price.From pickup at Tribhuvan airport , immaculate accommodation in Kathmandu, well equipped porters and guides, on the trails and utmost care in the safety of their clients they exceed expectations and pride themselves on customer satisfaction.
The Dhaulagiri Trek was remote and challenging. Steep slopes, land slides, heavy snow falling extreme cold. Nepal Hiking combined smart experienced leadership with good equipment and focus on customer well being to ensure a memorable experience. Go with them. You will not regret it
