Namaste Tilak
I just wanted to thank you and your wonderful staff for my incredible trip to Gokyo Ri, Chola Pass, Kalapathar and Everest Base Camp. It was the best trip of my life. I especially want to thank my guide, Ram, and porter, Santos, who made the trip much easier than I could ever imagine. The scenery was incredible and will be forever be remembered by me. Your staff in Kathmandu was always there to make sure that every-thing was running smoothly. After talking to those on the trail who did not have guides or porters about their difficulties, I cannot imagine even attempting the trip without the wonderful help that I had.
I also had a great time on the tour of Kathmandu, river rafting and Chitwan National Park. It was a great way to end my trip. The hotels in Kathmandu and in Chitwan were especially nice. I did not expect such luxury at such a great price.
I look forward to returning to Nepal to do the Annapurna Circuit. I look forward to seeing everyone again.
Thanks again.
Six friends chose to trek to Gokyo Lakes, Chola Pass and Everest Base Camp. We looked at several companies and after exchange of initial polite informative emails, good Trip Advisor reports and previous friends who liked their services we chose Nepal Hiking — haven’t regretted our decision for one moment. Bhairam answered all our enquiries promptly, we were given all necessary information before travelling and their service from beginning to end was faultless, cannot think of anything to complain about. We were even taken to a complimentary Traditional Nepalese Dinner. Our guides and porters were friendly, charming and helpful and we heard about the lengthy training they must do before becoming a guide. At all times we felt safe. Thank you Bhairam and everyone in the company very very much.
Dear Tilak,
I have been travelling a lot, but the trekking trip to Gokyo Lake, Chola Pass and Everest Base Camp was the best holiday, I have ever spent in my life. Like five years ago in the Annapurna region, there was nothing at all to complain.
In one word, everything was perfect again. Thank you very much for the fantastic arrangement, planning and organisation of our trip. The service was great and absolutely professional.
Every day we could enjoy spectacular views, sceneries and landscapes. I will never forget these days in my life.
A special Thank You also to our guide Lok and our porter Raj. They were the best possible duo you can imagine, always nice, kind and helpful. Once I was struggling on one day, they even carried my small backpack. Eventually we became friends very soon.
This was our second time in Nepal, but definitely not the last one. And of course you will arrange and plan our third trip as well. There is no doubt about it ! Thank you very much again for everything. I really do appreciate your kindness and hospitality.
Take care and all the best. See you soon again.
Kind regards
