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.

I wholeheartedly recommend this trek to anyone seeking an authentic and unforgettable adventure in Nepal.
Llegamos a Nepal con una plan de trekking poco viable y con la ayuda de esta agencia reorganizamos nuestra estancia, resultando todo un éxito. Desde el primer momento, entras en un clima familiar, de confianza y seguridad de estar contratando un buen servicio, gracias a la atención diaria y trato cercano de Gokul. Nos tramitaron los billetes de KTM a Lukla y ante algunos pequeños imprevistos, siempre contamos con su respuesta immediata. En medio de nuestro trekking por libre, contratamos la actividad de ascención al Lobuche Peak. Destacar la flexibilidad y adaptación a nuestras necesidades, y también la profesionalidad de Phuri, gran climbing guide y mejor persona! En resumen, estamos muy contentos con el trato de esta agencia y sin duda lo recomendamos al 100%. Namaste Gokul y equipo 🙏
Enjoy the grandest journey in the land of the Himalayas with our 16-day, guided trek to Mount Everest Base Camp. Your adventure to the base camp begins with a rather scary flight to the mountain airstrip of Lukla, at 2,800m elevation, and passes through the picturesque Sherpa village of Namche Bazaar to reach Gorakshep.
The high point of this journey is the ascent of Kala Patthar (5,500m) from where you can soak up stupendous views of Mount Everest and its surrounding peaks. You will spend most of the trek above the elevation of 3,000 meters in Khumbu and Imja valleys, whose skyline is dominated by the massive peaks of the Eastern Himalayas.
Along the way, you will get the chance to enjoy the culture of the Sherpa people, see ancient monasteries and learn how Lamaistic Buddhism influences the Sherpa life. Beautiful, multi-coloured prayer flags and prayer wheels along with intricately carved mani stones line every hilltop along the route.
Travellers who are physically fit and have a sound health can book this adventure. Some experience in high-altitude treks is preferred. For more experienced hikers who wish to take up the challenge, we suggest an Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes trek.

Ancient Kathmandu valley boasts of a considerably high number of cultural sites recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites.

The thousands of temples, stupas, pagodas and monuments inside the valley have made Kathmandu famous around the world as the City of Temples, while the mountains encircling the valley give panoramic views. The valley is comprised of three medieval cities - Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur, and each city has its own artistic exposition of graceful temples, elegant palaces, brick-paved courtyards and quaint streets. Besides the three cities, there are also a number of other important sites in the periphery of the mountains.

When the opportunity presented itself, I jumped at the chance to go to India for the first time. It’s impossible to experience everything this beautiful country has to offer in just 4 days but with this Golden Triangle Tour I received a great first introduction to the vast history, artistry and diversity of India. Sartaj helped me get set up. He was patient and prompt in addressing all my questions. He made this experience special from beginning to end. Each guide who met me was knowledgeable, friendly and kind. I felt very fortunate to have been paired with Arif in New Delhi, Viki in Agra, and Yusuf in Jaipur. I learned so much from each of them. They worked with me and made sincere efforts to adapt to my interests and needs whenever possible. My assigned driver Manik was my constant companion throughout the tour. He always made me feel safe and well cared for. As a female solo traveler I give this tour two thumbs up. I would gladly work with them again if the opportunity presents itself. Reasonable price, quality experience, knowledgeable team, helpful, safe & secure, friendly, patient, clear & prompt communication, and willingness to consider my personal interests. From a rickshaw tour through the narrow streets of Old Delhi, to the magical Taj Mahal and the multilayered grand Agra Fort, to the whimsical Hawa Mahal and the Pink City… This tour left me wanting to return to India again very soon.
