Review
Our guide was a fine professional, an expert in his business Hari Kadariya. If it were not for him and his assistant - porter, we would not be able to fulfill the dream. Everything was at the highest level: itinerary, overnight stay, places for stops and meals, updating the route and departure dates (thanks to Step on Himalaya we were able to fly from the mountainous Lukla airport to Kathmandu with no possibility for departure). He became a true friend for us, for him, his happiness was our joy and delight from the tour. I saw for the first time that a person was happier for the joy of another than for his own! I highly recommend Step on Himalaya and their services!
StepOnHimalaya is the place if you want to trek in Nepal After searching various vendors we shortlisted StepOnHimalaya & believe me we hit the Bullseye. Our guide Mr. Hari Kadariya is the best guide you will have he is friendly & makes sure you are safe & also enjoy the trek. We faced one of the worst climates during our trek clouds, rains & even snowfall almost lost the hope that we will see Mount Everest, Hari kept us motivated & positive. Rest pics will tell your story
I would like to thank hari khadariya who made our trip so memorable.
He is very kind, friendly and made us feel very comfortable right from the minute we first interacted with him - starting from booking, planning our itinerary, taking care of all our needs till dropping us back to the airport.
We relished the nature and surroundings which forced us to click more than 1000 snaps during our treak.... The stay's were so perfectly selected , as view's were just wowsome . whole treak was fully surrounded by greenery,water falls,glaciers etc....
we faced worst weather conditions rainfall , fogg, snow fall,cold breeze and above all temperature in - degree Celsius all these hurdals we could just ignore due to hari .He is a wonderful guide, a man of patience with an ever smiling face.
His commitment to customer service is just one of the examples.He truly was committed lot and made our stay very pleasant.
This was one of the most memorable experience for me. I must admit that, I never imagined myself to complete Everest Base Trek. One of major reason, we all could enjoy and successfully complete this trek is opting for "Step on Himalaya". We all were lucky to have Hari as our friend and companion (I won't call him a tour guide). He was there for us at every step we took on the Himalayas. Personally for me, he took a great care and made sure we all enjoy and more importantly stay safe on this difficult yet an awesome trek. This is all what one requires as a group or family when you plan such treks. I would highly recommend step on Himalayas. Thanks to this trek, I found a great friend. Looking forward to another amazing experience with Hari.
What an absolutely amazing experience. The trek was constantly filled with breathtaking scenery and was soul satisfying beyond my imagination. The trek itself is a little bit harder than an easy walk with some challenging parts that always end in yet another beautiful horizon that make it all worth while. Hari was our guide and catered to our every question, complaint, itinery change and dietary requirements. I couldn't recommend this agency enough. Our trips itinerary had a couple of hiccups due to unforeseen diplomatic arrivals in Nepal however Hari arranged everything so we basically just had to arrive and start walking! He took all of the travel stress out of it leaving us to thoroughly enjoy the experience. His knowledge of the trek, Nepalese culture and history was outstanding. If you're thinking of doing a trek and don't want to feel part of a commercial school excursion I would recommend Hari. It felt like a hike with a close friend or family member. I even unfortunately caught a cold and Hari was able to medicate and accomadate my reduced trekking capacity which I am very grateful for. Hands down the greatest trekking experience I've had to date. Thank you step on and a big thank you to Hari the mountain goat! Another bucket list item down but I will definitely be using this agency for my future treks in Nepal.
