Incredible experience maximised by an incredible company and team! Annapurna Circuit with Tilicho Lake

We had a great experience with Khum and this company. The transport to and from the trek was smooth. The trek holds breath-taking views with mostly straightforward days for a fit walker with a few challenging days. I highly recommend the trek for any nature lover and enthusiastic trekker. It is, however, the guide and porter that absolutely make the trek! They really do become like family on the trek. Raju has mastered the art of being a guide. He knows well when to give space and when to engage with encouragement or knowledge. We met many guides on the trek and, whilst they were all lovely, we felt especially fortunate to have Raju with his uplifting energy, enthusiastic knowledge and witty humour. Raju made the experience perfect. He acquired the best rooms he could to look after us as one of had a stomach infection. The rooms were better than expected all the way round as Raju managed to get us private rooms at every tea house and always offered extra blankets and pillows! He was patient and kind and remained positive towards achieving our goal despite the difficult illness. He also supplied the medicine which cured us and allowed us to complete the trek. It’s safe to say this would not have happened without Raju! We played cards every night and we shared different games with each other, this was a real highlight! Nima was also a lovely and caring porter who with his limited English communicated largely in kindness and respect. He was always there to help and support and several times returned from dropping the heavy bag to help! Despite the illness, the trip ran smoothly because of Raju and Nima and it has perpetuated our deep love for Nepal and a desperation to return and complete more treks. We can’t thank Raju and Nima enough for their excellency and for making our trip so special!

Trek in the Annapurna region

I met Mr. Khum SUBEDI, Managing Director, in the taxi receiving me at my arrival at Kathmandu airport. We met again the next day and he proposed me a special trekking program adapted to my level of physical fitness, adding Muktinah to the Poon Hill usual program. The price was reasonable and he took news from me during the whole trip. Mr. SUBEDI is a nice guy and a real professional. My guide, Raju KANDEL, was excellent. He was very helpful but not intrusive. He proposed an alternative plan to make the trip more interesting. The places we stayed were very well chosen. He even took good care of me when my legs were painful after going down too long It was a pleasure to hike with him during the day and to share a beer in the evening. He was quite a friend.

This local travel specialist provided good information about the trek regarding what to expect in the track and the equipments needed. I unfortunately didn't finish the circuit because I had altitude sickness but my guide, Dev, helped me and organised transport so I can get back down to feel better. When I recovered, my guide arranged for me to do a shorter trek and I was grateful because I still experienced the beauty of the mountains.

I will come back to Nepal

I have just returned from a 4-week trek in Annapurna Himalaya region, having visited its five highlights during a 280km trek lasting 20 days plus 3 days traveling by jeep/taxi/bus: 1- Tilicho Lake 4919m (March 31) 2- Thorong La Pass 5416m (3/4) 3- Poon Hill 3200m (6/4) 4- Annapurna Base Camp 4130m (8/4) 5- Mardi Himal Viewpoint 4155m (11/4) We come to Nepal and were helped by this local travel specialist from day 1 to our last days and were cared very well by the owner, the sherpa and porters. Our trip couldn't be more successful. If you are a person who loves trekking, you will definitely like Nepal and Himalaya. See you again in Nepal. I wish to conquer the mountains one day not far away.

Annapurna Circuit Trek

Completed the circuit with the support of Mr Khum and his team last week. It was a great journey, Mr Khum provided excellence service, very responsive and patience in addressing all my queries even before the trip. Throughout the trip he has been very supportive as well, my request to tweak some of the itineraries was kindly accommodated. I would recommend this local travel specialist for those who would like to explore a pristine Nepal.
