15 day Annapurna circuit

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!

Annapurna Circuit- May 2023

My sister and I just completed the trip of a lifetime !! We are so so happy with our experience through this agency. I can’t give enough praise to our guide, Raj, and porter, Anil. We wouldn’t have been able to do the trek without their knowledge, support, positive attitudes and humor every day of the trip, I’ve never met kinder people. Raj answered any question we had and was honest when he didn’t know (I respect this). Raj also helped adjust our final days of the trek so that we could spend an extra day in Pokhara, which we were very thankful for! && they both went above and beyond in terms of hospitality- always thinking one step ahead of us. I seriously can’t recommend the two of them enough !! I will always remember this trip & am already planning my return !! Thank you Chhatra , Raj & Anil !! - Hailey

Exploring Annapurna Circuit and Pion Hill

I went on the Annapurna Circuit and to Poon Hill mid November to beginning of December with this local travel specialist and I could not be more happy about my choice. In total we were on the road for 15 days. It was a truly amazing experience that created memories for a lifetime and was breathtaking in every sense. From the Circuit to Poon Hill the landscapes were just mesmerizing and had so much to offer. I was traveling solo together with Basu who guided me well with his experience. Basu is a very experienced and knowledgeable guide who made sure I felt safe and comfortable at all times and also was of great support when I did not feel well during the trekk. He made small changes to the itinerary where needed to adjust to my pace and energy level. I couldn't have asked for a better guide for this trekk and will definitely come back for more adventures! Thank you for making this experience so truly unique.
