April 2019I found this agency by accident just walking around Thamel and looking for more info on my upcoming trek.
I explained that I am only looking for the easiest way to solve all the logistics of my trekking peak (Mera Peak) and Mr. Suman gimme the best prices by far! Believe me - I checked like 10 other agencies before this.
I got my Mera Peak climbing permit + certified climbing guide for two days of climbing + one night in High Camp tent + all the gear at the last village near the mountain. All of this for quite reasonable price compare to other agencies. Guide was also supa proffesional and strong!
Asian Hiking Team was able to gimme what I want cuz they have many guides/connections in many different places + a lot of customers that can make things cheaper (especially if you're solo hiker like me)
Definitely recommend and I'll be using their services in the future for sure
Hello Asian Hiking Team and Nima sherpa,
Mera and Isalnd Peak Climbing Wilderness Solutions had a fantastic Mera and Island Peak climb with you this October. It really was superior and I cannot thank you all enough for the quality of service that we received throughout the planning and Climbing. I am so glad that we worked together again and again. We were sanctified by some quite wonderful weather conditions that enabled us to see the very best of the Chhukum Valley.
The accommodation in Kathmandu was very good and the choice of tea houses/lodge on the trek was also good, camping is ok. We would not hesitate in recommending your company to others interested in travelers to Nepal. At last but not least, Thank you Nima for your amazing support and patience in the mera and Island Peak.
Regards,
Scott Steeg

Dal bhat power 24 hours !!!
Our Nepal Trip (Mera peak and Amphu Laptse pass trekking) was great from start to finish. Everything went well from our arrival in Nepal to our departure on the final day. Hari was a superb guide and really looked after our team through sickness, accommodation and meals. One of our team member was ill on the second day of the trek, he gave Daimax and take care last two days. Hari adapted our programmed to accommodate everyone's needs. He always tried to create chance for us to meet local people on our trekking. Our Team wanted to get to know the people and the culture of Nepal. Hari and our two porters Santos and Resham were superb. Besides leading our walks, they made sure that our lodging was good as well as the hygiene standards. We loved dal bhaat and Hari told us Dal Bhat power 24 hours. The Amphu Laptse Trail was the perfect trek for us but it is more challenging as we didn't waste time at Lukla airports. This route not for easy going people. You need to love adventure.
Apart from the trek, the sightseeing tour in Kathmandu at the end was fantastic and wonderful. We all loved our evening in Bhaktapur (rate durbar view) and our visit to "Garden of Dreams" and I would recommend these be included wherever possible in your trips.
We would all like to return to Nepal again and would definitely have Asian Hiking Team as our first choice. See you there.
Regards,
Nicole Boyd
