Mingma was always there to offer encouragement and support, providing valuable tips on acclimatization and pacing to help us adjust to the altitude and prevent altitude sickness. One of the highlights of the trek was reaching Annapurna Base Camp itself. As we stood surrounded by towering snow-capped peaks, including Annapurna I, the 10th highest mountain in the world, I was filled with a sense of awe and wonder at the beauty of nature. Mingma shared stories and legends about the mountains, adding a cultural dimension to the experience that enriched my understanding of the region. Throughout the trek, Mingma went above and beyond to ensure that we had a comfortable and memorable journey. From arranging cozy teahouse accommodations to preparing delicious meals that kept us energized, he took care of every detail with professionalism and care. His deep respect for the environment was evident in his commitment to leaving no trace and preserving the natural beauty of the Himalayas. In addition to his technical skills as a guide, Mingma's cheerful personality and sense of humor made the trek a truly enjoyable and fun experience. Whether we were sharing stories around the campfire or laughing together during breaks, his positive attitude and infectious enthusiasm lifted our spirits and created a sense of camaraderie among the group. In conclusion, trekking to Annapurna Base Camp with Mingma was a life-changing adventure that exceeded all my expectations.

In June 2023, my two friends and I embarked on an incredible journey to conquer the ABC trek. Equipped with enthusiasm and a sense of adventure, we were paired with a female guide from the agency, and little did we know that this experience would turn out to be one of the most memorable trips of our lives. From the very beginning, our experience with the agency was nothing short of exceptional. The agency's decision to assign us a female guide not only made us feel comfortable but also empowered us to embark on this challenging trek. The agency's attention to detail, prompt responses, and professionalism were commendable, ensuring that we felt prepared and supported before even setting foot on the trail. Safety was paramount throughout the trek, and our guide ensured that we adhered to appropriate safety measures at all times. From checking our equipment to monitoring our well-being, she went above and beyond to ensure our safety and comfort. Her expertise in handling various situations, such as navigating tricky terrains and changing weather conditions, instilled confidence within our group, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the trek without any concerns. The ABC trek not only offered us breathtaking natural beauty but also provided us with a unique cultural experience. Along the way, we had the opportunity to interact with friendly locals and immerse ourselves in their rich traditions and way of life. From tasting authentic local cuisine to witnessing traditional ceremonies, we gained a deeper understanding and appreciation for the Nepalese culture. Our ABC trek in June 2023 was an incredible experience that surpassed our expectations. Thank you for the incredible experience!
Ram Barakoti, the manager, has been incredibly communicative since our first contact via email in January 2023 when I initially expressed interest in doing the Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek. Two weeks before my departure, he held an online briefing and provided me with all the necessary information and details about the trek. His words of motivation, "The keys are happiness and worry-free," inspired me. However, when I arrived in Kathmandu and was ready to fly to Lukla, I encountered a setback as there were no flights due to unfavorable weather conditions. Ram then offered me the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek as an alternative. After hearing his explanation about what I could expect during the trek, I agreed. Once again, he uplifted my spirits by reminding me that "It's what it is, and it's still an adventure." Although trekking in June is not the ideal time due to the rainy season, I thoroughly enjoyed the trek and the rain itself. The breathtaking views and unforgettable experiences I encountered along the way were truly remarkable. Some of the highlights included the view from the lodge in Tadapani, the picturesque bridges, the challenging stairs, the majestic Machchhapuchhre Mountain, the trek between Machapuchare Base Camp (MBC) and ABC, and, of course, the ABC itself. Raju Mainali, my guide, took excellent care of me from the moment I arrived in Kathmandu. He is not only a fun and lively person but also very knowledgeable. From him, I learned some Nepali words and gained insights into the local culture. One of my favorite words he taught me was "Jum Jum," which means "let's go." Together with the porter, Hari, they were incredibly patient, adapting to my pace and assisting me in dealing with leeches during the trek. During meal times, we shared not only food but also stories, creating a truly enjoyable and memorable experience. Thanks to Raju and Hari, I always felt safe and never felt lonely, despite traveling solo. I knew I was in good hands. This is a highly reliable trekking company, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services. Personally, I plan to return to Nepal and utilize their services again to fulfill my dream of completing the Everest Base Camp trek.
