Comments: It was Annapurna Panorama not Annapurna Circuit, I believe!

We chose Adventure Treks Nepal after a few email exchanges with its President, Gyan Karki, who answered all our questions, accepted all our modifications and gave enough details to convince us that Annapurna Panorama was all what we wanted. Whatever help and support had been promised was fulfilled with professionalism.

Our guide, Bhuwan Karki, was in a good shape, offered help without being asked, many times carrying on even our day backpack. He was a good leader offering informations about geography, history and culture of the places we visited.

Adventure Treks Nepal accepted all our program changes and tailored the trek upon our suggestions and estimated timing. We would like to thank them for giving us the opportunity to undertaking such an initiative a few of our age would dare to execute.

Comments: Hi Gyan,

Good to hear from you again.

Let me please offer both Paddy and my thanks to you, our guide Lalite for your very well organised and enjoyable trek in the Annapurna ranges this year.

Both Paddy and I have some fantastic memories and photos of our trekking experience. It was wonderful to get a first-hand look at the way the locals are living in this beautiful part of the world and the scenery is some of the most spectacular I have ever seen.

I would like to extend a special word of thanks to our guide Lalite for his great care and attention to our wellbeing. He is a very patient and caring man, and I would be happy to trek with him again.

I would like finally to thank you Gyan, for your prompt service, organising our trek in advance of our arrival. Once we arrived you were a tremendous help to my father and me and helped to make our visit a very enjoyable one.

Thank you again for all of your help and I am sure that if we are trekking again in Nepal we will seek out your company's help.

Sincerely,

Jim & Paddy.

Comments: In October of 2011 I had the pleasure of completing a trek to Everest Base Camp in Nepal with the company "Adventure Treks Nepal". From the moment that we began planning our trek the service was very professional. Our correspondence was by email and we always received prompt replies. Every attempt was made to accommodate our requests for certain dates and even for a specific guide. Once the plans were set, everything went just as planned. Once we were in Nepal, the tour director and tour guide were all very friendly and professional and communicated very easily in English.

Once we were on the trek we felt very safe. Our guide took very good care of us; he was always aware if someone was having difficulty and helped them out. In our group we ranged in age from 25 to 66 and he was able to manage us with different fitness levels. He gave us much information about the mountains and answered our questions about life in Nepal. He also had a good sense of humour and we laughed lots.

The trek is very reasonably priced; the teahouses we stayed in were comfortable and the food was very good. We were able to choose our meals from large menus to accommodate different tastes and appetites.

I would highly recommend "Adventure Treks Nepal" if you are planning a trip to Nepal. I will certainly use their services when I return to Nepal.

Comments: Me and a friend completed the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek and cultural tour of Kathmandu during October 2011. Gyan was a brilliant host and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. From the time we made our booking enquiry to the day we left Nepal everything was well organized, nothing was too much trouble and our individual needs were always catered for.

Our trekking guide Shambhu and porter Buddhi were both great. Shambhu was always happy to answer questions, his knowledge and experience was a definite plus. The itinerary was well paced, and we managed to cover a good amount of ground in the time we had. This is a great trek for someone's first trip to Nepal – it's a good mix of stunning scenery and interesting culture.

I would definitely recommend Adventure Treks Nepal !

Comments: Janelle and I did the annapurna sanctuary trek with some sightseeing in Kathmandu in October.

We had a wonderful time and it was lovely to go to a new country and have all the details organised or us so that we did not have to worry about transport links or finding accommodation.

The sightseeing was well organised allowing us to see the recommended sights but also time to browse at our own pace and do our own exploring.

The trekking experience was amazing, and as we were not in a large group we could alter the itinerary to suit our progress and walk at the pace we wished. The scenery, people we met along the way and our brilliant guide and porter made it a trip I would thoroughly recommend and love to repeat.

Comments: Guys here is promised Testimony - as we say better late than never.

What I wrote here I really ment. We had a great time in Himalayas and you help to make it even greater. I am not rulling out that we are going to call you and see you next year again. You did really great job!

Thanks

Decision how to organize our trip to Himalayas was million dollars question. My wife and I were traveling all of the corners of the world without to use once guided tour or to have guide anywhere.

However when I put together plan for the trip to Nepal and Tibet with two hikes: Annapurna and Mt. Everest it was clear to me that here we'd better to have some professional advice.

First I tried different adventure agency here in Toronto – Australian, British and Canadian but there was always some problem. Beside of cost it was mainly of complexity and uniqueness of the trip which no agency was able to accommodate.

Then while reading Lonely Planet "Nepal" I hit the section of "Local Trekking Agencies" and I have tried this route. I send e-mail to about half a dozen agencies and was waiting for response. Gyan Karki definitely over impressed me since his answer arrived following day while others wrote back in 2-3 days in the best. I presented my idea to Gyan and he provided itinerary including all of details at once.

This happened far too many times during this year prior the trip that I change over and over again the plan of the trip and there was always solution of the "challenge" from Gyan side.

At last in the beginning of October we left for Nepal and to my full satisfaction everything was organized and followed up to every little detail. While we were staying in Kathmandu between our individual trips Gyan visited us on daily basis inquired about our satisfaction and gave us daily updates.

For our Tibet trip we got Tibetan guy name Migmar who was not just pleasant companion but knowledgeable in history of Tibet and Buddhism generally.

After return to Kathmandu from Tibet/Mt.Everest on Tibetan side we were picked by border by Gyan's private Mercedes Benz – I am not entirely sure that Mercedes Benz is idea car for off road driving from the border to Kathmandu but it was Gyan's car not mine.

Our next trips suppose to be hike of Mt. Everest from Lukla. Unfortunately weather changed so badly that 5 days there were no flights to Lukla and the whole Airport was jammed with desperately waiting hiker.

I did not believe that weather in Mt. Everest will change in coming days so I called Gyan day before our planned departure to Mt. Everest and ask him about the change from Everest to Annapurna. And again here was Gyan with new arrangement for Annapurna for following day and on the top of everything with his best guy Gyanendra Karki as our private guide.

Needless to say Gyanendra did excellent job during our 12 days hike. He was taking care about every single detail of organization, motivation, planning and supervision in kitchen in different tea houses so we really did not have slightest stomach problems which can make your trip quite unpleasant.

What to say as summary? If you want to go Nepal and Tibet you'd better to have guide and somebody who cares about you. We found it in personalities of Gyan B. Karki and Gyanendra Karki and I was really happy to select Adventure Treks Nepal as our guiding angel. I wish everybody who will read my testimony will make same choice.
