  • Had a great time in Nepal around the Annapurna Circuit trek with Yolo Hike

    I was pleased with my trip with Yolo Hike. They responded quickly to all my queries and made sure I was informed. I was delighted with the guide I was provided and had an amazing time in Nepal. Everything was very flexible and easy with the planning. I will use Yolo Hike again if I do another trek in Nepal!

  • Amazing 5 days 4 nights Tour of Bhutan

    I contacted Yolo Hike in May 2024 for the quotation to Bhutan for 5-day / 4-night tour. Anil from Yolo responded immediately and answered my queries regarding the Bhutan Tour promptly. 
    The trip was well organized as Yolo helped me to get the Bhutan Visa and confirm the guide and driver for Bhutan. Bhutan is an amazing country with serene mountains and stunning Dzong ( or Buddhism Temple) which was mainly built in the 16th Century. The highlight of the tour was the hike to Tiger Nest Mountains which took us around 6-7 hours. We started the hike early around 7.30 am to avoid the hot sun. The view is breathtaking. I was surprised by the hotel especially the last two nights at Paro where we stayed in a spacious resort hotel closer which is 15 minutes away from Tiger Nest and 20 minutes away from Paro town.

  • EBC Trek: Trip of a lifetime...I wish I could give more stars!

    I did the EBC Trek with Yolo Hike September 25-Oct 6th 2024. Friends of mine used Yolo Hike guide Mr. NK Shrestha some years ago and he came highly recommended. I communicated with NK for months leading up to the trip and he was very helpful and attentive and kept in touch leading up to our arrival in Nepal. We also worked with Sameer at the main office for working out the details of our trip. The day before our trek was to begin the company informed us that NK would not be our guide due to some family circumstances that had come up. Even though we initially felt like the wind had been taken out of our sails after months of planning, we proceeded with the alternate guide, Mr. Prakash Pradhan. We could not have been any happier. Prakash and our porter Suman are some of the best in the business. They were so attentive, kind, and always offering to take additional items from me and my Dad as we struggled to manage as the days went on with the fatigue and altitude increasing. Our trek took some unexpected turns due to one of our party experiencing altitude sickness and we were so fortunate that the lodge we stayed at in Dingboche (Khumbu Lodge) is owned by a close personal friend of Prakash. Prakash's friend (Pratik) went above and beyond to look after the one who had to stay behind. Prakash stayed in constant communication with Pratik to check up on said person.

    Yolo Hike arranged for a helicopter pickup for my Dad and also worked with us on a helicopter ride back from Lukla to Kathmandu following the completion of the trek to help us avoid flying to Ramechap airport to then take a hours long bus ride back to Kathmandu. (Industry standard to route flights to Lukla through Ramechap beginning in late September to avoid plane congestion at Kathmandu airport during high tourism season). The first few days of our trek were especially difficult due to nonstop cold rain. Prakash helped us get better rain gear along the trail and Prakash and Suman also made sure our shoes were dried every night, even before their own shoes and clothes. The kindness and hospitality of Prakash, Suman, and all the teahouses we stayed at along the way humbled me beyond description and we made so many memories that will last a life time. Prakash was so patient and had a no-rush policy while walking "No need to go fast, no need to have any problem." was his constant reminder. Without Prakash I would not have successfully made it to Kala Patthar and EBC, least of all with a smile on my face. Can't wait for the next adventure with him!

  • Kailash Manassarovar Yatra with Yolo Hike

    I wanted to share my experience and feedback about Yolo Hikes, hoping it will guide other devotees on their sacred journey to Mount Kailash. For any devotee of Mahadev, visiting Mount Kailash is not just a pilgrimage—it's a profound spiritual calling, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to connect with the divine. The question is: how do we begin such a sacred journey?

    In 2023, my first attempt was unsuccessful due to an inexperienced travel agent, but by divine grace, I found Yolo Hikes and Anil Bhatia in 2024. From the beginning, Anil and his team showed their deep understanding of this spiritual quest, guiding every step with wisdom and care. This allowed me to surrender fully to the experience, focusing only on my chanting of 'Om Namah Shivaya.'

    Anil Bhatia embodies a sense of calm and knowledge, a trustworthy guide for such a sacred yatra. I completed my Mount Kailash Yatra in May 2024, and his team was a constant source of support, ensuring every detail was taken care of—from food (which could have been slightly improved) to medicines, accommodations, special assistance, and oxygen when needed. Most importantly, they never left us feeling alone, as if Mahadev’s grace was with us through their presence.

    I extend my deepest gratitude to Anil Bhatia and his dedicated team. I recommend Yolo Hikes, especially Anil, as your spiritual companions for anyone seeking to undertake the Mount Kailash Yatra.

    Om Namah Shivaya.

  • Kailash Mansarovar Yatra July 2024

    I traveled to Kailash Manasarovar with my family in July 2024 with the YOLO HIKES team. The staff was accommodating and cooperative. Accommodation, food, service, and transportation were good throughout the tour. It was an Awesome, Wonderful & Memorable Yatra through the mighty Himalayas & Manasarovar Parikrama. We have completed the 3 days Parikrama of Mount Kailash, which was my lifetime achievement the abode of Sri Parvathi Parameshwar. My special thanks to the Sherpa Team for guidance & whole hearted thanks to Mr. Anil YOLO HIKES and his team who were always available to us and made our trip more comfortable. I sincerely recommend YOLO HOKES for the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra.

  • Mount Kailash Yatra June 2024 via Lhasa

    Thank you Anil ji and Yolo hike team for making this dream come true for me (as I look back it was indeed no less than a fantasy). Truly a great experience. The trip was planned so well that we were able to touch Mount Kailash (Charan Sparsh) and also complete the parikrama within three days. Anil ji and team made the entire process and journey so easy for us. Very good accommodations and quality food provided throughout the journey. Lokesh and Kelson were very helpful and always on their feet when anybody needed anything. Highly recommend YOLO hike to family and friends!!
