I would highly recommend Binod Mahat and HikeNepal to anyone planning a trek in Nepal. Binod did a fantastic job arranging and leading our group of 8 on a 2 week trek to the Annapurna Base Camp and Poon Hill. We had originally planned a longer trek around the Annapurna Circuit, however, our plans had to change at short notice due to unforeseen circumstances. Binod handled this brilliantly, bringing some well thought through suggestions to the table and helping us make what turned out to be an excellent choice. His team of porters were fabulous. In addition to being amazingly strong, and floating up the mountains with big loads, they were super friendly and encouraging and would greet us at the top of major sections with warm smiles. Binod brought a wealth of knowledge of local cultures and environment which added interest and richness to our experience. Notably it was the many little details that made the trip even more enjoyable: quality accommodation, ringing ahead with food orders, lovely presentation of fresh fruit with every lunch and dinner (to the envy of other trekkers), and the care and thoughtfulness in ensuring every member of the group was being looked after. Thank you Binod and team!
