Hari was an amazing guide on my trip to Annapurna Base Camp. Knowledgeable about the area, great company throughout the day and in the evenings, he made sure I was comfortable the whole trip. Everything was sorted for the length of my stay in Nepal. He also sorted out white water rafting and bungee jumping at the last minute for me. Would definitely recommend it!

We had the pleasure of meeting Hari on the Annapurna Base Camp trek, he was not the only kind and considerate but also he really went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable and at home! He even came and hung out with us after the trek, what a legend! Can't recommend highly enough! Grab this chance of being with Hari from Step on Himalaya to make your trip full of fun and tension-free.

When in an unknown place, you will always have a scary feeling with awkwardness, thinking of how would the place be or how would the people be? But when you decide to trek, you will go for it, Likewise, when we decided Annapurna Base Camp Trek, we simultaneously decided to choose Step on Himalaya and it really turned out very well. An incredible experience in the amazing Himalayan ranges of Annapurna region.. Very grateful to Step on Himalaya for making our trip so wonderful and memorable... A personal recommendation for Step on Himalaya for any kind of visit to Nepal. I assure you will not regret choosing Step on Himalaya as your trekking mate.
