The trek to Annapurna Base Camp was an unforgettable experience, full of breathtaking landscapes and moments I'll carry with me forever. We did this trip with Nomad, a Portuguese travel agency that organized everything with great care and professionalism. On the ground, we were guided by the amazing local team from Unique Adventure International - big thank you to them for making everything run so smoothly.
Our main guide, Dev, was always professional, very kind, Nepali teacher, and fun to be around. Nima, one of the porters, stood out for being constantly present and willing to help - often accompanied the group with a calm, confident energy that made a big difference.
Suman, also a porter, was a huge help throughout the trek, and Suzan, our photographer, captured some incredible moments and added great energy to the group.
Dhanyavada to all the other porters! It was a truly special journey, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves nature, culture, and adventure.

Poon Hill was amazing! However, couldn’t have done it without our guide and porter, Dev and Nima. They made us feel safe, made us notice things we might not have, they were extremely organized and most of all super friendly! Highly recommend.
We had an absolutely amazing time on our Annapurna circuit trek. We were a group of 4 together with our guide Binod and porters Depesh and Ashok. They took great care of us, taught us a lot about the Annapurna region and most of all made sure we were all having fun. Great people and truly amazing views. Highly recommend!

Had a fantastic experience with the help of our guide Sumba Sherpa. He made things so easy for us through out the trek. He's very experienced and helped us when he had to. First class experience!
Spectacular scenery and much more variety than the Everest Base Camp trek I did back in 2005. Also much more challenging since you start at 800 m and climb to 5,100m.

High up in the foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal's Annapurna region are the villages of Nar and Phu, where Tibetan Buddhism is the dominant religion and people still follow the traditional way of life undisturbed by modernity. Join us on this ten-day, guided trek and travel to an isolated yet scenic location in the Himalayas.
Your journey starts from Kathmandu on Day 1 of this trip, when you will drive to Dharapani via Besishahar. From Dharapani, the trail leads to Koto and Meta before you enter into Phu village. Spend a day acclimatizing in Phu then trek down to Nar Phedi. A winding, uphill path from Nar Phedi leads to Nar village. Cross the Kang La Pass on Day 8 of this trip and trek down to Pisang, from where you will drive to Besishahar.
The Nar Phu trail was opened for tourists in 2003 and requires a special permit since the government of Nepal has listed the area as restricted. For more details, please scroll down to the itinerary section.
Join us on this 15-day, guided trek and explore some of the most breathtaking locations in the Annapurna region. Your journey starts from Kathmandu from where we will drive to Dharapani on the first day of this tour. Hit the trail from Dharapani to Phu Gaon, where you will spend a day acclimatizing.
Continue to Nar village via Nar Phedi. Cross your first mountain pass, the Kang La (5240m), on Day 8. The trail then descends to Manang, a popular trekking stop for those traveling through the famous Annapurna Circuit. From there, the trail takes you up through the Thorong La Pass and down to Jomsom, via Muktinath.
Catch a flight to Pokhara from Jomsom and drive back to Kathmandu, where your trip comes to an end.
Yes, I highly recommend this company. A huge thank you Chhatra, Ram, Raju, Raj, and the phenomenal driver who’s name I missed—for an excellent trip from December 19, 2021 to January 3, 2022. I completed the Everest Base Camp trek from 12/20-12/31 and added on two additional day tours in Kathmandu.
The trek was incredible and led by Ram, an energetic senior guide, and Raj, a friendly porter. Stunning scenery and an accomplishment I’ll never forget!!
On my day tours in Kathmandu, Raju filled my brain with history and cultural insights, while adapting our stops to my interests and selecting great rooftop restaurants.
Chhatra was super responsive to all my questions and concerns regarding the trip and COVID-19 logistics. He arranged a PCR test at my hotel for my return to the United States and Raju walked me through picking up the results at the airport and double checking the report details.
Top notch transfer service as well. The staff were attentive and provided a safe first experience in Nepal for me, a female and solo traveler. Looking forward to booking my next trek to the Annapurna region!!
I had an amazing experience with this tour! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. I appreciated their patience and care in making sure everyone was comfortable and informed. Highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a fantastic experience!
When it comes to organizing an adventure-packed trip to the Everest Base Camp and beyond, this local travel specialist stands out as a reliable and efficient choice. From start to finish, they ensured that every aspect of the journey was well taken care of, leaving us with nothing but positive memories.
The Everest Base Camp Trek, which served as a warm-up before climbing Lobuche East Peak, was an exciting and fulfilling experience in itself. The trek allowed us to gradually acclimatize to the altitude and enjoy stunning landscapes along the way. The climb to Kala Patthar provided a unique perspective, as we descended into the valley from EBC, further aiding our acclimatization process while marveling at the breathtaking scenery.
However, it was the climb to Lobuche East Peak that truly tested our limits. The steepness of the peak presented a challenge, but thanks to the expertise of our climbing guide, who skillfully fixed ropes and offered guidance, we were able to conquer it without too much difficulty. The sense of achievement upon reaching the top was immeasurable and made all the hard work worthwhile.
Our experience with this agency was nothing short of exceptional. If you're seeking a well-organized and thrilling trekking experience in the Everest region, they should be at the top of your list.

My EBC trip was perfectly planned. First of all, I want to thank Mr. Gokul, my guide Kali, and Amita from operations a million times. The guesthouses I stayed in were warm and clean. My guide Kali was always kind and supportive. I’m very excited for my ABC trip this year—hope to see you again soon!

This was an amazing trip made possible by extraordinary guides and drivers. We were met by the lovely Asmita who went to extra mile to prepare us for our trip, and to be sure we had all we needed. She could not be more charming and helpful. On day one, we were driven to the border, very expertly by Raju accompanied by Kersang. We needed an expert as the roads were very windy and not in good condition but it was exciting and we could take in the wonderful scenery and the interesting villages that we passed.
After we crossed, the border which took some time we were met by Tarkye our guide and Cedun our driver. Tarkye was a very mature calm guide, solicitous knowledgeable and very caring. Cedun our driver was also very considerate and helpful which we as a group needed as many of us had not fully anticipated the effects of the high altitude.
However, we were shepherded in an extraordinary manner through magnificent mountainous terrain, and lake filled scenery seeing yaks and other animals on the way. The monasteries were beautiful and Tarkye could answer any questions we had.
This unique and extraordinary trip delivered exactly what it promised. There was a great deal of driving which could be tiring but this was specified up front.
Overall, this was an amazing trip, but it was more physically demanding than anticipated because of the altitude and also being in a relatively small enclosed vehicle carrying 12 people with no space in between each person if one person gets sick it spreads through the group has happened for us. Nevertheless this tour is a once in a lifetime experience in a country as yet relatively undiscovered by western tourists.
This is an exemplary company that I highly recommend. Many thanks!
From start to finish, the local travel agency was a stellar company to work with!
During the planning phase, Raj the owner was readily communicative and accommodating in customizing our trip to suit our individual desires and helpful in navigating the complex travel restrictions during the pandemic.
