Awesome trek to ABC
5 - Excellent
  • Nancy Rollason
“I did the Annapurna base camp trek solo as a first trek. I had an excellent experience— communication beforehand was very clear and all my questions answered. Arrangements went smoothly from airport pick up to hotel and transport. I felt safe and well supported as a single woman. I was ill on the first day and both owner and guide were very caring. My guide, Sumba was lovely—he looked after me every step of the way and took care of all the practicalities. Also the porter Kiran. I was very grateful to him for carrying my bag all the way up to base camp! I was able to realise my dream and reach the base camp and it would not have been possible without them.”
A lifetime adventure!
5 - Excellent
  • Geremia De Carli
“Our trek to Everest Base Camp was a big adventure and an experience we will never forget! It was not easy, especially to walk in high altitude but we were able to accomplish everything also thanks to our great guide Hari. He was very helpful and gentle and we had a nice time together. I would recommend everyone to take this trek. It is so worth it!”
The first phase of the Great Himalaya Trail
5 - Excellent
  • Sherpa
“During the first phase of the Great Himalaya Trail Trek, which was from Kanchenjunga South Base Camp to Makalu Base Camp, we encountered breathtaking landscapes and difficult terrain. The sherpas who accompanied us were invaluable, sharing their knowledge and expertise and adding cultural richness to our adventure. They pointed out hidden waterfalls and offered valuable insights, making the journey both physically challenging and culturally enriching. As we continued on to the next phase of the trek, from Makalu Base Camp to Everest Base Camp, the scenery became even more awe-inspiring. The towering peaks of the Himalayas surrounded us, their snow-capped summits glistening in the sunlight. We navigated through rocky terrain and crossed icy rivers, relying on our sherpa guides to lead the way. Their unwavering support and encouragement motivated us to push through the physical challenges and reach new heights. Each day brought new experiences and opportunities for personal growth, strengthening our bond as a team and deepening our appreciation for the natural beauty of the region.”
