What travellers say
I went to Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Nepal High Trek & Expedition with my friends. It was our first time in Nepal, and of course first time attempting the mountain in the beautiful country.Anjan was our guide. He and his team of porters took great care of us and gave us such assurance throughout the journey. Anjan speaks well and we had a great conversation getting to know more about them and their culture (and food too)!Well, of course, all of us made it to ABC safely and smoothly. We even organized a farewell lunch and dinner with his team to appreciate them.Recommend the Nepal High Trek & Expedition and Anjan for anyone interested in exploring the mountains in Nepal!
Chan LeeAnjan was our guide to ABC and did everything possible to make the best of our trekking. I strongly recommend Anjan’s services. He is very reliable and knows a lot about Nepal and the routes we took.We did an unforgettable trip to Annapurna Base Camp in April 2016. Nepal is a safe, peaceful, and very friendly place. Beautiful scenery, incredible mountains.We were a team of four from Brazil, three of us in our 50’s and my 24-year-old son. The trek was 12 day long. A lot of ups and downs to reach ABC. The scenery is fantastic, we go through nice small villages and can see their real life, school kids, farm workers, shepherds with goats, buffalos, sheep, and donkeys carrying all types of loads up the mountains. In April the weather was mild, hot during the daytime, especially at low altitudes. At ABC the temperature was below zero at night, but as soon as the sunrises and you start walking you just need a T-shirt.We woke up at ABC at sunrise to see the huge peaks all around us in the cle…
