Outfitter Nepal - Wonderful! We are two 60-year-old, American hikers, who like to take one adventurous hike each year to explore the world. We hiked to Annapurna Base Camp in Sept-Oct 2017, and could not have been more pleased. From initial pick up to the final dinner, all arrangements were superb from our local travel operator. Wondering if you can make this trek We found it to be challenging, but we never felt like we couldnt make it. The operator did an excellent job of breaking up the trek into manageable days, with good rest and food throughout. I observed one of the guides do a superb job with one hiker (not in our party) who was suffering the effects of altitude sickness. They were well-trained and able to assist the hiker to complete the trek, after their recommendations and help. We enjoyed perfect weather on our trek. Who knew it could be so warm and tropical-feeling The guide and porters offered excellent suggestions on hydration, trek timing and the pace of our partys trek. Ranjit, Nilesh and Niroj made it feel like we were hiking with friends the whole time. They are knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning about the Nepal and its culture. It was great to have all accommodations so fully vetted in advance. The operator continually called ahead so that we were ensured of rooms, beds, and food at each stop along the trail. The trail was busy at times, so it was great to have guides who were experienced and who ensured that our needs were met. All exceptions or special requests were handled with grace and expertise. And the food was very good! Try the Dal Bhat! It is a wonderful Nepalese trail food! Finally, since the operator, guides and porters live and work in Nepal, they offer a unique and personal perspective on the trek, the culture and the beauty of Nepal. It felt less like business transaction and more like visiting with friends. I would give this operator, its co-owners, guides and porters, two thumbs up or 5 stars! I heartily recommend them and would absolutely use them again. They come highly recommended!
A beautiful and explored trekking I did a trek to Manaslu on 2017 with my friend Marta from Mexico. For Manaslu Trek in Wikitravel, we looked at the reviews and messaged the local tour specialists. It was really a good choice. The trek is a amazing route, you will meet only few people. The views are incredible and the route is still unspoiled. It was tough to cross Larke pass but we maanged to cross it with no problems. In overall, we really had an amazing journey in Nepal.
The tour operator was very responsible, which is very important in a tour like this. Every person I had contact was very professional and competent. I would advise through that people doing this training should be very fit and trained for altitude. Otherwise it will be very hard and risky to complete the trekking and not pleasurable. I ran weekly and though I was medium fit but I had to be evacuated from the EBC once I reached there as I couldn't go back by myself. The company support and accompanied me all the way, assist in everything I needed and couldn't ask for more. But to be clear EBC trekking should be done for experienced climbers that have already ascended 3000 meter before and gave altitude training. Otherwise even if you finish it you will not enjoy it, it will be very painful. It's 15 days not stop climbing. There were nights I felt I could walk to the toilet for how exhausted I was.
