Amazing company and trek to Poon Hill, ABC, and Mardi Himal
First time in Nepal, and I quickly found that Nepalese people are wonderful, warm and welcoming, have incredible food and amazing mountains. Bal, my guide, and Nima, my porter, were wonderful throughout my solo 12 days hike to Poon Hill, ABC, and Mardi Himal. They both took great care of me, were always ahead on what was upcoming on our itinerary, and booked places that had excellent hospitality, food, and rooms. I had an amazing time with them and highly recommend them!!
Amazing team! Highly recommend!!!
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.
Amazing Trekking Experience in Nepal!
From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had an incredible adventure. What really stood out to me was the level of personal attention and care provided by the team, specially from Nima and Dev. They were always available to answer questions and ensure we were comfortable, making this trek an experience of a lifetime. I highly recommend their to anyone looking for an amazing trekking adventure in Nepal. Their professionalism, expertise, and passion for trekking truly shine through!
Amazing Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Unique Adventures
I did the Annapurna Base Camp trek with the help of this travel operator, and it was the best experience I could have wished for! Before arriving in Nepal, I had great communication with the company owner, Khum, via WhatsApp. He made preparations for the trek. It was super easy, answering all my questions quickly and clearly. His responsiveness gave me a lot of confidence before even starting the journey. During the trek, my guide Dev was absolutely amazing! His deep knowledge of the route and environment made me feel safe and supported the entire way—even in some pretty scary moments, like trekking through a snowstorm and avalanche danger zones. I would not have felt comfortable doing this trek alone, and I’m super grateful for his guidance, expertise, and great conversations along the way. As for the trek itself—it’s one of the most beautiful hikes I’ve ever done. The landscapes are constantly changing, from forests and charming mountain villages to snow-covered peaks. Reaching Annapurna Base Camp, surrounded by majestic mountains, was an unforgettable moment. I would definitely recommend this trek and this company to anyone looking for a well-organized, safe, and truly breathtaking experience!
Awesome trek to ABC
I did the Annapurna base camp trek solo as a first trek. I had an excellent experience— communication beforehand was very clear and all my questions answered. Arrangements went smoothly from airport pick up to hotel and transport. I felt safe and well supported as a single woman. I was ill on the first day and both owner and guide were very caring. My guide, Sumba was lovely—he looked after me every step of the way and took care of all the practicalities. Also the porter Kiran. I was very grateful to him for carrying my bag all the way up to base camp! I was able to realise my dream and reach the base camp and it would not have been possible without them.
