Great experience with great care
We had an amazing time doing the Annapurna Circuit Trek with Hari. Everything was arranged really well. We met before the trek started and received the last information. During the trek, Hari told us everything about the history of Nepal and the sceneries we came across during our hike. Besides this, all accommodations were comfortable with good food.
We definitely recommend booking a trek with Holiday Hiking Team (P) vt. Hari as he takes great care in delivering the best experience.

Worry-free holiday hike
Annapurna circuit trek.
I got Hari’s number via a friend who recently did a trekking with him and he was so enthusiastic about Hari that I decided to give it a shot. So I contacted Hari and he gave me a lot of information on different hikes and we decided on one. In the end, we had to change the dates and trekking because of unforeseen circumstances but Hari was very flexible. He wasn’t available himself on these dates so he arranged me another very experienced guide and managed this trip. So for Hari as a tourguide I can’t really tell, but for Hari as a person and organisation I can tell you that you will be welcomed warmly to the real Nepal besides doing the trekking, you will be very well taken care of and get a good deal compared to the other prices I’ve seen for other organisations with lots of additional benefits provided by Holiday Hiking Team. He’s a very friendly and experienced man who knows these trekkings and Nepal as if he were God and created them both.
Would very much recommend! him and his company Holiday Hiking Team.
I hope next time when I come to Nepal, I can make it happen to go with the grandmaster Hari himself! 🤪

Our wonderful experience on ACT
Thanks to our guides: Hari and Krishna, and our porters:Suresh, Ram and Holiday Hiking Team. We had a wonderful experience hiking the ACT. I was a little out of shape for this trip, and was slow for our group. Everyday, either Hari or Krishna followed me closely to make sure I am OK. They are very attentive, take our food orders, bring our food, fresh fruits, making sure nothing is left behind. We have nothing to worry about but enjoyed great view! Highly recommended.
