Comments: Gyan,
Happy New Year. Hope your treks are going to plan and all's well. All good here - I start my new job on Monday so it's all go to get ready for that! The end of our long holiday but the start of the next adventure !
Now we owe you and Gyan a review:
You always take a chance when faced with so much choice with regard to trekking in Nepal. However, our hunch that the team at Adventure Treks Nepal was going to look after us was proved unequivocally right.
From the outset, friendly, informative, and helpful communication built a package that exactly matched our requirement, and all at a reasonable price. Emails were replied to promptly, and always with useful answers to the questions we asked (and we asked a lot!). They inspired confidence.
Travel to Pokhara went without any hassle, and the hotel recommended by Gyan and his team was spot on in terms of location. In Lakeside, but tucked away enough to be able to escape the insanity...
Gyanendra, our guide, was friendly and even at our first meeting his smile, enthusiasm and sense of humour were infectious. Using his vast experience of trekking in the Annapurna region, he guided us through a detailed programme which took a much more intuitive route up to and back from ABC. We knew at this point that the whole experience was going to be ace!
We were blessed by epic weather, but more so by having such hospitable and friendly hosts. Gyanendra was super-perceptive to our desires, and Man, our porter, a complete star. Gyanendra has an inbuilt ability to join in and leave you to it in exactly the right proportion, and is full of anecdotes, information and fun. A brilliant guide who deserves his reputation.
The route he designed worked like clockwork - a clockwise route taking in Poon Hill before the highlight of ABC itself. A logical way to see the best bits last. Watch out for his enthusiasm for downhill though! ABC to Chomrong in one day was really hard on the knees!
We walked a bit quicker than anticipated, and arrived back in Pokhara with a day to spare. No problems, Gyanendra had listened to our prattlings about our passion for all things bicycles, and suggested that we tour the other bits of the city not by foot or taxi, but by bike. Attention to detail like that is priceless, and it was of course a great adventure !
With 3 days to spare before we had to be back in Kathmandu, Gyanendra recommended a trip to Chitwan National Park. Again, he didn't disappoint, and organised a brilliant 3-day-2-night trip encompassing all the best bits of this very understated but brilliant safari location. Once back in Kathmandu, the team had yet again come up trumps with accommodation, and remained on hand to offer advice about activities and so on if we wanted.
All in all, a faultless service by Adventure Treks Nepal. Well done Gyanendra, Gyan and of course the ever dependable Man! We'd recommend them to anyone thinking of doing something similar.
For info, our itinerary was:
Fly KTM to Pokhara
1 day in Pokhara
10 day trek to ABC with guide and porter
2 days in Pokhara (including cycle tour)
3 days, 2 nights in Chitwan National Park
4 days in Kathmandu (no guiding, but the hotel was arranged by the team)
Gyanendra, please feel free to put this on your website and use our names or any pictures! Additionally, I'll try to get it onto Lonely Planet's Thorn Tree Forum.
All the very best from us both, and more photos to follow from Sarah shortly!

Comments: My trek to Everest Base camp with the group was an adventure of a lifetime! Both the guide (Lalit) and porter (Ram) were really good guys and made us feel at ease with the task in hand. I have done tours in the past when the lead guide has not been good and having such a great set up on this trip reminded me how important it is to have good people as part of your experience. The route and accommodation were all perfect and I think the overall cost of the tour was pretty good value .

Comments: Hi Gyan
Mikel and I hope you are well in Nepal. Sorry for the late response but we wanted to thank you and Sangam for making our time there so memorable.
The trek was beautiful and amazing. The scenery was green and the rainforest was beautiful from thIs you go to green hills and snowy Rocky Mountains, it was spectacular. Sangam was very knowledgeable and helpful with us, we were both very novice Trekkers and it wasn't a problem at all. We felt safe at all times and trusted sangam to guide us the right way safely. Thank you to sangam and Gyan who was there to meet us at Kathmandu airport a pleasant surprise! You all made our trip so memorable!

Comments: The perfect tour for those who don't want the hassle of having to research and plan the route to base camp. Quality of the tea houses vary, but generally they were much better than I expected and more than comfortable. Guides were friendly and alway made sure the pace was suitable for everyone. I would recommend not scrimping on yor first aid supplies as if (when) altitude sickness or another illness strikes you are more or less on your own. The sights are incredible at every stage of the walk and the sense of achievement upon reaching base camp was unforgettable. Special mention to the assistant guides and porters who did a tremendous job and were an inspiration to many. Highly recommend this company if heading to Nepal.
