Excellent experience with our guide and porters. They were able to accommodate quick changes in our plans when some of our members showed symptoms of AMS. They are also some of the fittest people I have ever met and are kind and entertaining at the same time. It was a pleasure to learn about their culture. If you ever get the opportunity, see if you can learn and play Baghchal.

I have always been captivated by the majestic Himalayas, and the Annapurna Circuit Trek was truly a dream come true for me. This incredible journey will forever be etched in my memory. The vistas of the towering mountains were nothing short of surreal, and the cultural encounters were truly eye-opening. Navigating through the trek, we gained insights into the local customs and traditions, enriching our experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this trek to anyone seeking an authentic and unforgettable adventure in Nepal.
My wife and I completed the Annapurna Circuit plus Tilicho Lake guided by Ramesh and portered by Ramo and the experience was perfect. Ramesh is truly the best guide in the world. Not only is he an encyclopedia and loved sharing information with us while trekking, he was smart, strategic, and patient all throughout the trip. He actively used his experience to guide us on the trek, making changes that would better our chances of crossing the pass and visiting Tilicho lake in the best way possible, which I appreciated. Ramesh is also very friendly and warm, which truly helped, as our experience literally felt like a perfect intertwine between a guided tour and a trek, which we greatly appreciated. To be able to do this at altitude with a variety of personalities, all while being patient must be respected. And I cannot and will not forget our porter Ramo: thank you so much for moving so quickly and efficiently (with our items on your back), better enabling us to lock in certain rooms at various tea houses to help ensure my wife and I rested comfortably throughout the trek. Thank you! Thank you Madhav, Ramesh and Ramo and we'll see each other again in a year our 2!
