Trip Review

Sam Le Butt Posted Date : 06 April, 2024

Fabulous experience, Himalayan local guide took care of everything! My friend and I recently hired a guide for the ABC trek and it was an incredible experience. The company organized all the permits and bus tickets, and were always easy to contact and quick to respond. Our guide was from near Kathmandu but had done the trek a good few times before, and made our journey very smooth and easy. He did all the ordering and accommodation sorting, and was very sweet, patient, and helpful, carrying some of my things when I was struggling with the altitude. He pointed out the different mountains and villages and did his best to answer our other questions about the region with the English he had. Would 100% recommend for a professional, easygoing guide, though if you’re looking for more in-depth knowledge about the region/history/nature, I would be explicit about this when booking!
