This whole trip has been an incredible experience. It has been something that has far surpassed my expectations going into the trip and the views, places and friends I have made during the passed few weeks will last a lifetime. All aspects of the trip were flawlessly run and executed by our group leader Raj and Assistant Guide Mhn. Together with all three porters, Cha Cha, Tiger and Kaji the trip could not have run more smoothly, regardless of the on the go challengers/changes to intinery. The whole trips vibe and location was something that could not be recreated without these people. They are now friends that will continue well passed these past few days.Show more

The trip was extremely well organised. I felt so looked after and safe the whole time. I genuinely cannot fault it. The guide (Rajendra Nepal) and assistant guide (Min Kumar Dhamala) went above and beyond to make the trip a wonderful experience. We also had three porters (Gorakh Dulal, Sanu Kaji Basnet and Raj Kumar Nepal) who were also extremely kind and lovely. I genuinely cannot fault the trip.Show more

As expected, the locations and scenery of the Annapurna Circuit were incredible - but I think the way that the trip was managed by our guide Raj, assistant guide Minh, as well as the three porters Tiger, Caca and Kaji really enhanced just how impactful and enjoyable the trip was overall. The relationships we were able to build with the team over the course of the hike truly had a incredibly positive impact on the overall quality of the trip itself. Despite not making it over Thorong La Pass due to weather, my overall experience was still extremely enjoyable if not more exciting than if we were to have followed the itinerary directly. The itinerary changes under Raj and Minhs leadership were excellently weighed up, and helped make my trip a very memorable experience.Show more
