Our recent trip to Nepal was incredible. This would not have been possible without the head office team led by Prem Khatry. As CEO and founder, Prem is both an entrepreneur and compassionate community leader. His team's attention to detail was key to our trip. Upon our initial visit with him in Nepal he assessed our needs and quickly suggested we do the ultralight flight in Pokhara, which of course, we knew nothing about - and it turned out to a major highlight of our Nepal visit. This chap Prem, raised in the mountains of Gorkha, knows his stuff.
Our pick for guide of the year - is the guide that truly made our entire trip special - Dill Tamang. Having been involved in this sector for many years his immense knowledge flows out of him as you walk through magical Nepal with your mouth wide open. Dill, who himself was born in a remote village in Nepal showed us the incredible beauty of Nepal in so many ways. He understood us within the first day. A highlight was Dill searching out the Guru Rinpoche Cave for us even though it was not on the original tour - he made it happen.

Upper Mustang Trekking offers a great opportunity to get insights into Trans Himalayan region of Annapurna which is quite similar to Tibetan trans-Himalayan topography. The colorful rock formations with numerous cave dwellings high up the cliffs, impressive chortens and ancient monasteries reflect the culture and traditions of Buddhism. Along with topographical similarities, the local people still follow the centuries old life style and traditions. You get an amazing feeling of isolation while trekking around the deserted lands which also enchants and inspires visitors to this region.
Major attraction and actually an opportunity during our Upper Mustang trek is the walled city of Lo-Manthang palaces. Upper Mustang is known as forbidden kingdom and still sees very few tourists each year. Trek along the land of canyons of the Kali Gandaki River, across the rugged land where people have saved their centuries old culture in Buddhist chortens, small stupas, atop hills, on pathways leading into villages and even inside caves. Tibetan Buddhism and the myths are intertwined threads that are in turn woven into the landscape.
Finally as you reach Lo Manthang, we will also arrange your meeting to King of Mustang, Jigme Parbal Bista in the walled capital Lo Manthang. Yes, Nepal is republic but Mustang even today has a king! The Mustangi locals have their own head of the tribe whom they respect, he is known as Mustangi King. Visit the three red-walled monasteries at the heart of the town; watch the astonishing way of life and family life around the nomadic villages.
The best time to trek around Upper Mustang Trek is from the month of March to November. This trek can be joined even during the monsoon season as Upper Mustang lies in rain-shadow area and receives negligible amount of rainfall. So, except in winter due to extreme cold, this trek to the hidden kingdom is recommended during anytime of the year.
Please refer to the itinerary for day-by-day activities.
Excellent service and prompt response especially from the owner and CEO of this travel company. We had a great experience during Annapurna Base Camp trek. Our porters and our guide were awesome! They went out of their way to make us feel safe, comfortable and we had to keep changing itineraries to accommodate all the things we want to do including paragliding. I highly recommend them for their knowledge of the Himalayas, 17 years of operating expertise and experience. Will definitely be a repeat customer!

Words cannot express how incredible my experience was. The trip was meticulously organized, leaving no room for disappointment and the scenery was simply awe-inspiring.
The Annapurna circuit trail is an exclusive journey into the Annapurna region with the trek ending at one of the most beautiful lakeside city of Nepal, Pokhara. En-route trekkers will be mesmerized by the majestic beauty of Mt. Annapurna, the 10th highest mountain in the world including other snow-capped peaks.
The trail of the Annapurna Circuit is rated as the world’s top ten trekking trails. This challenging trek is a quest for any trekking enthusiasts and has been pulling hordes of trekkers from around the world. The terrain of the Annapurna region explodes with amazing natural beauty coupled up with age-old culture and traditions of the people living in the high Himalayas.
You trek past remote valleys, high mountain villages, alpine lakes, icy-cold glaciers, lush green forests, and raging mountain rivers. The Kali Gandaki gorge, the deepest in the world, adds to another interesting feature of the trek. The Annapurna Circuit trek is a great journey of trekking in the high Himalayan trails.
Please refer to the itinerary section for day-by-day activities of this 21-day trip.
We had a great trip, our guide was super nice, we loved it! We will try to stay in touch with them, we loved the atmosphere, the kindness of the people we met, the authenticity of encounters. We were very lucky (thanks to our guide who planned it very well!) and we could go up to the basecamp because wether conditions were amazing.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a classic guesthouse trek in Nepal. The trail lies on the western part of the Annapurna range, which includes mountains such as Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Fang, Annapurna 1, Ganagapurna, Annapurna 3 and Machhapuchhare. All these majestic mountains are set in a circle around Annapurna Base Camp, at a diameter of ten miles. Upon reaching Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130 meters, you will thus be rewarded with an amphitheater of snow covered mountains all around you - an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime moment likely never to be forgotten.
From this mountainous epicenter, also known as the Annapurna Sanctuary, the Modi Khola cuts its way south in a narrow gorge being 12,000 feet deep. Further south, the gorge opens up into a wide and fertile valley, the domain of the local Gurung people. We will pass through several local villages on this trek giving you ample of opportunity to get insights on local traditions and cultures.
The middle and upper portions of Modi Khola offer some of the best short trekking routes in Nepal, and the valley is located so that these trails are easily combined into this trekking itinerary.
If you are reasonably fit and able to walk 5-6 hours a day, you can do this trek. If you are not confident in your physical fitness, we recommend adding a porter when booking. One porter can carry 30 kgs and can be shared between two people.
All in all, this a fantastic trek and trail, not to be missed!
