Mountain Hike Nepal is a Nepal trekking company based in Kathmandu, privately guiding treks to Everest Base Camp, the Annapurna Circuit, Annapurna Base Camp, and Langtang Valley since 2018. Because we run small-group and private treks with licensed local guides who know every trail in the Himalayas, every itinerary is fully customisable with flexible departure dates built around you.
The Everest Base Camp Trek is the world’s most sought-after high-altitude trek. A scenic flight from Kathmandu to Lukla starts the journey, followed by the Dudh Koshi River trail through Sherpa villages, ancient monasteries, and suspension bridges to Everest Base Camp at 5,364 metres. Along the way, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, and Gorak Shep each offer their own views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. The classic itinerary runs 12 days, built around proper acclimatisation.
Our guided EBC trek Nepal is a fully guided, small-group experience led by licensed Sherpa guides who’ve made this journey hundreds of times. We handle Sagarmatha National Park permits, Lukla flights, teahouse bookings, and daily logistics. Full pricing: Everest Base Camp Trek cost breakdown.

The Annapurna Circuit Trek is one of the most diverse and rewarding long-distance treks on earth. The route circles the entire Annapurna massif, from lush subtropical valleys in the east to the high-altitude arid plateau of Mustang in the west, crossing the famous Thorong La Pass at 5,416 metres. Over 15–18 days, trekkers pass through Gurung and Tibetan-influenced villages, traverse rhododendron forests, and experience dramatic shifts in landscape and culture with every valley. The high point — literally and scenically — is sunrise from Thorong La on a clear morning.
Mountain Hike Nepal guides the private Annapurna Circuit trek Nepal as a private or small-group trek with flexible start dates through spring and autumn, so our guides manage the route’s permits, daily distances, and altitude gains for a safe, well-paced journey from Besisahar to Pokhara.

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of Nepal’s most rewarding short treks, taking you deep into the Annapurna Sanctuary — a natural amphitheatre ringed by peaks above 7,000 and 8,000 metres. The route drives directly to Ghandruk, then climbs through Gurung and Magar villages, dense rhododendron and bamboo forest, and the dramatic approach through Chhomrong before reaching Annapurna Base Camp itself at 4,130 metres. The standard itinerary takes 10 days, making it one of the most accessible high-mountain experiences in Nepal.
Because departure dates stay flexible year-round, Mountain Hike Nepal guides the private Annapurna Base Camp Trek as a small-group or private trek.
The Langtang Valley Trek is one of Nepal’s most accessible Himalayan treks, starting just 7–8 hours from Kathmandu by road. The trail climbs through Langtang National Park — home to red pandas, Himalayan tahr, and dense rhododendron forest — before opening into the high-altitude Langtang Valley, flanked by peaks above 7,000 metres. The journey culminates at Kyanjin Gompa (3,870 m), where trekkers can climb Kyanjin Ri for views of Langtang Lirung, Ganesh Himal, and the surrounding glacier. Even so, the standard itinerary takes 7–10 days — a real Himalayan trek without the time commitment of EBC or Annapurna.

We’ve been running treks in Nepal since 2018, privately guided, with honest pricing and no hidden costs. Here’s what that actually means:
Licensed, experienced guides — All our guides are government-licensed, English-speaking, and first-aid certified. Many are Sherpa with lifelong experience in the Everest region.
Small groups, personalised service — We keep group sizes small on purpose, so every trekker gets individual attention instead of a spot in a crowd.
Flexible, customisable itineraries — Departure dates, pacing, and routes adapt to your fitness, schedule, and goals — not the other way around.
Responsible tourism — Because we work here year-round, we pay fair wages to guides and porters, follow Leave No Trace practices, and support the communities along our routes.
Transparent pricing — No surprise costs. You get a complete cost breakdown before you book.
Not everyone has 12 days for Base Camp. If you’re short on time, the Everest View Trek gets you panoramic Everest views in 5 days from Namche Bazaar, and the Pikey Peak Trek covers similar ground in the same window. For something closer to Kathmandu, the Shivapuri–Chisapani–Nagarkot trail is a 3-day hike through forested hills and local villages — no Lukla flight required.
If walking down isn’t appealing, we run private Everest Base Camp helicopter tours. The Mardi Himal Trek is a good pick if you want fewer crowds than the Annapurna classics, and around Pokhara we arrange paragliding for anyone wanting something faster-paced.
Every trip here can run privately, with flexible dates and full logistics support from arrival to departure.
The best time for the Everest Base Camp Trek in 2026 is spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November). April and October offer the most stable weather, clear skies, and reliable Lukla flights.
The 12-day EBC itinerary with two acclimatisation days is rated moderate to challenging, mainly because of altitude rather than technical difficulty. No climbing experience is needed, but with a proper training schedule, fit beginners can complete it successfully.
The full Everest Base Camp Trek cost breakdown (2026) depends on group size, itinerary length, and accommodation standard. Our guided packages include permits, guide, porter, teahouse accommodation, and Lukla flights. Contact us for a personalised quote.
For most major routes — including Annapurna and Langtang — yes: since April 2023, foreign trekkers are required to trek with a licensed guide. Everest Base Camp is the one notable exception — the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality never adopted that national rule, so solo trekking to EBC remains legally possible. Even so, we include a licensed, English-speaking guide as standard on every EBC departure, for the same navigation, permit, and altitude-safety reasons a guide matters everywhere else. See our guided treks in Nepal for route-by-route details.
Yes, with proper preparation. Read our Annapurna Circuit Trek beginners guide for fitness requirements, training plans, and what to expect at altitude. Even though it doesn’t require technical climbing skills, it is a long, high-altitude route reaching 5,416m at Thorong La Pass.

Booking with a local Nepal trekking company means you’re working directly with the team that walks these routes every season, not a reseller adding a markup between you and your guide. Because we handle permits, logistics, and emergency coordination in-house from Kathmandu, there’s no middleman.
From the moment I landed, Mountain Hike Nepal had everything sorted. My guide knew the Annapurna trail well and kept a pace that matched my fitness instead of pushing me past it, which made a real difference on the longer days. Every stop, permit, and teahouse booking was handled without me having to think about it. Standing above the clouds with Annapurna III and Machapuchare right in front of me is something I still think about. I’d recommend Mountain Hike Nepal to anyone considering a solo trek in the Himalayas.
I did the Gokyo Lakes trek with Mountain Hike Nepal instead of the standard EBC route, mainly to get away from the crowds, and it worked. The lakes themselves are a strange turquoise you don’t quite believe until you’re standing next to one, and the climb up Gokyo Ri for sunrise over Cho Oyu and Everest was worth the early start. My guide paced things well and never made me feel rushed on the passes. If you want the Everest region without walking behind fifty other trekkers all day, this is the way to do it.
I went with Mountain Hike Nepal for the Annapurna Base Camp trek and the trail variety surprised me the most — you start in humid lowland forest, pass through Gurung villages like Chhomrong, and end up walking into a natural amphitheater of 7,000 and 8,000 meter peaks at base camp. My guide was patient with my pace on the Deurali to ABC stretch, which is a genuine single-day altitude gain, and talked me through what to expect rather than just pushing forward. I’d recommend Mountain Hike Nepal to anyone doing the ABC trek, especially if it’s your first time at altitude.
We picked the Langtang Valley trek with Mountain Hike Nepal because we didn’t have two weeks free, and it turned out to be the right call. You’re only 7-8 hours from Kathmandu by road, but the valley itself feels remote — dense forest through Langtang National Park, then it opens up into wide alpine terrain near Kyanjin Gompa. Our guide knew the trail well enough to explain what we were looking at rather than just walking ahead of us, which made the shorter days feel worth it rather than rushed. It’s a smaller trek than Everest or Annapurna, but it doesn’t feel like a compromise. We’d recommend Mountain Hike Nepal to anyone who wants a real Himalayan trek without needing three weeks off work.
My wife and I did the Everest Base Camp trek with Mountain Hike Nepal, and what stood out was how our guide treated us as two people, not one unit. He’d check how each of us was handling the altitude separately, which mattered more than we expected once we got past Dingboche and the terrain got harder to judge. The logistics — Lukla flights, permits, teahouse bookings — were sorted before we had to think about them. Reaching base camp together, with the Khumbu Glacier right there, is a moment we still talk about. We’d recommend Mountain Hike Nepal to any couple thinking about doing EBC together.
