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!

I would go anywhere in the world with Mr Anil and his team again at the drop of a hat!! his team amazing bunch of people, 
If you are inclined to travel to Mount Kailash, He is a person I would highly recommend!!
Thank you so much Anil Ji for making my trip so memorable, safe, and pleasant!!!

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.

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.

OM NAMAH SHIVAY 🙏

With the blessings of Lord Shiva and wonderful arrangements made by Yolo Hike representatives Mr Anil Bhatta, Thakurji, Sujan, Dava, and Paima, we completed our divine Kailash Mansarovar Yatra in August. THANK YOU Yolo Hike team for making our dream come true. We had a wonderful experience and we are so proud that we chose them as our travel partner. We are extremely impressed by how they have taken care of each yatris; it was a memorable travel. 

Really well organised when it comes to Food,accommodation, transport and medical. 

We really liked the services of Yolo Hike and would like to go with them on other spiritual Trips.

Hats off to the entire crew ..🫡

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!!

We contacted Yolo Hike only a few weeks before our planned trip. Even with the short notice everything was well organised, from being picked up from the airport to accomodation during the trek and afterwards.
The team were very welcoming when we first arrived. On the trail our guide was very professional but also good fun to share stories with back and forth, and the route took us through some incredible scenery.
Thank you!

Fabulous trek to EBC with YOLO hikes!

Tour owner and operator Anil Bhatta organized the entire tour covering all aspects of the treks - permits, registrations, hotel booking, arranging guides and porters. We met Anilji in Kathmandu and there he introduced us to Ashok our guide and sarathi for the trip. Ashok is a fabulous, knowledgeable and an amazing guide. Ashokji have been a guide for EBC treks and have taken like 30+ trips and knew the path like the back of his hand. He took care of all the arrangements, making sure we were focused on the walking and breathing through the next 12 days. At Lukla we met our three porters and Kishoreji's assistant guide Dev. Dev is another young, upcoming and warm hearted guide who made sure everything was all set for us. Dev gave us fabulous 5 star level service through the trek. All arrangements done by Yolo hikes were perfect and we had a fabulous time during the entire trip. I will highly recommend Yolo hikes and will definitely use them for all my future trip planning in Himalayas!
