We booked our Annapurna Circuit trek and Chitwan visit and I must say everything was arranged perfectly! Very rapid and clear communication before we got to Nepal and great service once we arrived. Our guide was terrific and taught us a lot about Nepal and the mountains! He had a lot of knowledge and a good grasp of English. Every evening we enjoyed his company together with the rest of the team (guides and porters) to play some Nepalese card games. Perfect trip for us so highly recommend booking your next Nepal holiday with them!
I like to thanks to Bashu and the Raj team who were our guide on the trek to Annapurna every things perfectly organized, best take caring and support especially for Indian Native meals on the trek. They were very helpful, smiling people and the cost is really affordable. They choose us good lodges on the trek and gave us very much general knowledge's of Nepali mountain culture. Free trip to Pashupatinath Temple is really awesome.
