Hello Bishnu, Namaste! We came back home just yesterday and we are already thinking about our next vacation in Nepal. The trek to Annapurna Base Camp was such a great adventure! We were delighted with the breathtaking landscapes, charming villages but most of all with the wonderful and friendly Nepali people. The trek was so enjoyable and fun thanks to our guide Phurba and porter Dan. Those two guys did an excellent job! All the way they took perfect care of us and we had a great time together. Phurba shared with us his knowledge about Nepali culture and Sherpas' life, making our evenings in lodges very interesting. During our stay in Nepal we were also amazed by Kathmandu and its historical sites, such as Pashupatinath Temple. We are sure that we still have many treasures to discover in Nepal so we hope to return one day to your beautiful country. We appreciate high quality of services provided by your company and thank you for all your kindness and friendship. Wishing you all the best, Iwona, Tomek, Gosia and Waldek from Poland.
