Managed by Ram, this local travel specialist provided exceptional service throughout our Annapurna Circuit Trek. Ram's quick response time and his ability to manage every aspect of the trek with utmost professionalism were truly commendable. We highly recommend them for a memorable and well-organized trekking experience.

Our family had an extraordinary experience on this journey! Our guide, Nima, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort (as much as one can be comfortable on a mountain) and happiness! The entire team was incredibly accommodating, the scenery was breathtaking, and the trek was truly worth it. Nima was a tremendous help throughout the trip. He willingly carried some of our bags when we were too exhausted, and even provided me with medicine when I fell ill. Without Nima, our porters Kalu and Gokarna, and the entire team, we would not have been able to reach base camp. We are sincerely grateful for their assistance and support!

I had an incredible time on the Annapurna Circuit Trek! The 14-day itinerary was well-planned and allowed us to enjoy the beautiful scenery without feeling rushed. Our guide was experienced and knowledgeable, and the tea houses we stayed in were comfortable and had great food. The Thorong La Pass was definitely the highlight of the trek - the views were absolutely breathtaking! I would highly recommend this trek to anyone looking for a challenging and rewarding adventure.

We did this trek on March 2023, the Annapurna Circuit is a breathtaking trek that I would highly recommend to any adventure seeker. The views are absolutely stunning, with snow-capped mountains, lush forests, and crystal-clear lakes. The trek is challenging but worth it for the sense of accomplishment and awe-inspiring scenery. The company I went with was exceptional. They were professional, organized, and provided all the necessary information and equipment for the trek. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and they made sure our safety was a top priority. The food on the trek was surprisingly delicious and varied. We were served a mix of local and international cuisine, and the portions were generous. The accommodations were also comfortable and clean, with warm blankets and hot showers. The email communication with the company was prompt and informative. They were quick to answer any questions or concerns I had before the trek and provided detailed information about the itinerary and what to expect. Our guide and porter were fantastic. They were experienced and knowledgeable about the trek, and they made sure we were comfortable and safe throughout the journey. They were also friendly and fun to be around, which added to the overall experience. The price of the trek was reasonable and well worth it for the unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend Annapurna Circuit and the company I went with to anyone looking for an adventure of a lifetime.

I cannot express how amazing our experience was with our lovely guide Dawa and porter on the Annapurna Circuit Trek. They were knowledgeable, kind, and always went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and safe. They truly made our trip unforgettable.

We just completed the Annapurna Circuit trek with Tilicho Lake - 10 days and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the stunning mountain views to the friendly locals, every aspect of this trek was unforgettable. The trek itself was challenging but incredibly rewarding. The first few days involved steep ascents and descents through lush forests and picturesque villages. As we climbed higher, the landscape changed to rocky terrain and we were rewarded with breathtaking views of the Annapurna range. The highlight of the trek was undoubtedly Tilicho Lake – a stunning turquoise lake surrounded by snow-capped peaks. The climb up to the lake was tough, but our Guide Dawa sherpa help us to reach Tilicho And Thorong La top, we have done both without any issue! Thank you dawa, highly recommended this trip!

I have safely returned to New Zealand. I want to thank you for the excellent service of your organisation. I greatly enjoyed my trek and I particularly enjoyed my guide Dawa. He was everything I hoped a guide would be: informative, experienced, and helpful. In addition he was also a kind man and who earned my respect though hundreds of small acts of kindness. My thanks also go to Dorje who carried my load with a smile on his face. Even though there was only the three of us, it felt like we were a team devoted to getting me over Thorung La pass. Which, by the way, was at the upper limit of my ability at 62 years of age. In contrast, Dawa looked like he could have jogged all the way to the pass. However he was never more that a few metres away from me, urging me on. When I considered booking a trek along the Annapurna circuit, I was looking for a Nepalese company to book with. It was tempting to book with a global travel company but I wanted my money to go entirely into the Nepalese economy and not be syphoned off by a global head office. I am so glad I did this because the service I received from this local travel specialist was as good as I could have hoped for. I wish you continued success in future. Every step of my adventure was quietly managed in the background; sleeping bag, down jacket, taxis, buses, accommodation were booked and paid for through your company and so I never felt taken advantage of. It was nice to feel that at the end of each day my guide had a particular (and clean) guest house in mind that was expecting us. Dawa seemed to know all the people from the guest houses and we were warmly welcomed by them. I am sure Dawa asked for me to be upgraded to the best available room. Many times independent hikers would ask Dawa for advice on tracks, distances and guest houses. He was helpful to everyone. I recommend this agency to anyone considering an adventure in Nepal. If you are lucky enough to have Dawa or Dorje in your team, you can expect to have a great experience. Ram: please use any of these words on your web site. I wish you very success for the future. Dawa: my wife likes the pendant you bought for her. Many thanks.

Me and My boyfriend completed the 6 day Annapurna trek with group of 5 people. It was a wonderful experience with challenging trek. Guide Praveen was a fantastic guide; he was on top of every last detail, and was concerned for the well-being of every member of the group, and our porters. He is a real professional, and the company is lucky to have him. Our porters were excellent and the manager Ram Barakoti was a pleasure to deal with. We had a great experience and would recommend this company!

I Completed the Annapurna Circuit Trek on February with this local travel specialist and Gombu was my trekking guide. I can't thank him enough for such a great trip. He is honestly amazing and always has such a positive happy, friendly, helpful and funny. He took care of me so well and always made sure we were happy and healthy. He is informative not only about this region but about the whole country. I was able to learn a lot about Nepali culture from him along the way. Ram Barakoti was also very helpful during the inquiry and booking stage, replying to emails quickly and professionally. Thanks to Ram Barakoti for such a great adventure :), i will definitely come back for the next trip with you guys.

One of my friend Jenny and i did this trek on February 2023 overall the trip was amazing, but very cold, I can confidently say that this company was the best and very professional. We really enjoying nice stay on teahouses on the way. Our guide was extremely flexible. Our porter was very strong and very funny. strongly recommended this teams!

I did the Annapurna Circuit trek and I can really recommend this local travel specialist. Especially the my guide Dawa Sherpa and the porter Sona Sherpa will guarantee you a safe journey. Dawa knows a lot of the flora and fauna, culture and the mountains. I can say I had a great time and they really look after you. They will make a plan that fits you along the hike. If you want a rest day or a want to go on a day trip during your acclimatization day, everything is possible they are highly flexible. As a solo traveler it is difficult to find a trustworthy company between all the other options you find on the internet. I was happy with my choice and if I will be back for another trek I will hopefully do it with this agency . If any solo traveler wants to book trip please go with them.

Excellent service from porters and guide, especially Dawa Sherpa. I will recommend you to my friend. Everything was well organized.

My girlfriend and I did an amazing 15-day Annapurna Circuit trek with this tour company. I wasn’t sure what I had gotten myself into at the time of booking with them, but with the help and support of Ram Barakoti I felt confident. We were vey lucky to have amazing guides with us. Mingma and Dendi were knowledgeable about the trails, very organised and accommodating with our needs. Tea houses were great and clean. Food was fantastic. I cannot thank the company and our guides enough. Outstanding and flawless tour operation. Highly recommended! When I come back to Nepal in the future I will travel with them.

We did 15 days Annapurna Circuit trek on January 2023, with this local tour company and it was an unforgettable experience. The Annapurna circuit trail is spectacular and the walking aspect itself is not too challenging until Thorong Phedi, but combined with the altitude, one day hike from Thorong Phedi to Muktinath was very difficult. It was a vey cold day and it took us 10 hours to reach Muktinath. Nevertheless, if you're an avid trekker, this is obviously a must do. We were very lucky to have Gombu Sherpa and Santosh as our guide and a porter. They were knowledgeable about the trails, very organised and accommodating with our needs. Gombu was very kind, patient and knowledgeable about the area. Every night we had a briefing for the next day and I was always ready and excited to see what would come next! The tour company also provided us with a high quality sleeping bag, walking poles and down jackets, They were lifesavers during cold nights. Overall, it was extremely enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Excellent trip with Amazing views-Lifetime experiences-Challenging Thorong La Pass, We had a lot of fun with Guide and Porter.
