Nepal Hiking Team (NHT) is a Kathmandu-based, family-run trekking and travel agency founded in 2009 by brothers Ganga Raj Thapa and Balaram Thapa. The company organizes trekking, cultural tours, peak climbing, expeditions, rafting, jungle safaris, helicopter tours, and customized holidays in Nepal, with additional travel services in Tibet and Bhutan. With more than 25 years of field experience, NHT has operated over 10,000 trips and guided more than 28,000 trekkers and travelers. Its main office is in Nayabazar, Kathmandu, near the Thamel tourism district, and the company focuses on locally operated Himalayan travel with an emphasis on personalized service, safety, and reliable logistical support.

The company is particularly known for its trekking programs in Nepal's major Himalayan regions, including Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Base Camp, Annapurna Circuit, Manaslu Circuit, and Langtang Valley. NHT also provides shorter cultural and family-friendly journeys, private trips, luxury itineraries, and helicopter-supported experiences. Its trekking operations emphasize experienced local guides, porters, mountain specialists, transportation and permit assistance, altitude-acclimatization support, and first-aid preparedness. Customized itineraries are another important part of its service, allowing travelers to adapt routes, schedules, accommodation, and additional experiences according to their interests, timeframe, and trekking requirements.

What makes Nepal Hiking Team notable is its long operating history, extensive field experience, and substantial volume of customer feedback. The company has received reviews across platforms including Tripadvisor, TourRadar, Trustpilot, and Bookmundi, with customers frequently highlighting communication, organization, knowledgeable guides, friendly service, and support throughout their journeys. NHT also maintains industry affiliations with organizations including the Trekking Agencies' Association of Nepal (TAAN), Nepal Tourism Board (NTB), Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA), and Kathmandu Environmental Education Project (KEEP). Its Tripadvisor recognition and long record of customer reviews contribute to its established presence in Nepal's trekking industry, while travelers can still compare current itineraries, inclusions, guide qualifications, safety provisions, insurance requirements, cancellation terms, and overall costs when selecting an operator.

Annapurna Circuit Trek with Best Local Trekking Agency: Nepal Hiking Team

The Annapurna Circuit Trek with Nepal Hiking Team follows a route that has changed considerably with new roads and trekking alternatives. Rather than treating the circuit as one fixed road journey, our team uses the New Annapurna Trekking Trails (NATT) where appropriate, taking trekkers through quieter paths, forests, villages, and sections away from vehicle traffic. The classic high-altitude section remains the heart of the journey: Dharapani, Chame, Pisang, Manang, Yak Kharka, Thorong Phedi, the 5,416-meter Thorong La Pass, and the descent to Muktinath.

Our experience also comes from taking real trekkers across the route. In 2025, seven-year-old Ivan Krasiukov from Dubai completed the Annapurna Circuit with his parents and Nepal Hiking Team after previously completing Everest Base Camp. His journey included acclimatization in Manang, daily health monitoring, and the Thorong La crossing before reaching Muktinath. He subsequently received recognition from Official World Record Europe as the youngest person to complete both Everest Base Camp and the Annapurna Circuit within one year. For other trekkers, we can build the circuit around additional experiences, including Tilicho Lake at 4,920 meters, longer stays for acclimatization, or extended routes through the Kali Gandaki Valley. The itinerary is planned around current trail conditions, available walking sections, altitude, and the people actually taking the trek.
