My husband and I spent a month in Nepal and had the opportunity of two treks with the Nepal Hiking Team. We started with the Langtang Valley Trek, which was an incredible "warm-up" to the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Short Trek. Please refer to the separate review for that amazing experience. After hiking above 16,000ft at the summit of Chorka Ri, we were well-prepared for ABC. This trek is a breathtaking loop up a 3,300-step staircase leading to several spectacular vantage points (hello, Poon Hill!) before a thrilling approach to the base of Machapuchare (Fishtail) and the Annapurna range.
Each day brought new and increasingly stunning views as we neared ABC. On finally arriving, we didn’t feel small but rather privileged to stand in awe of the mountains we had spent a week reaching. Reaching the base camp would have been enough. However, Nepal Hiking Team made it truly outstanding.
Our guide, Santosh, and porter, Sabin, flawlessly guided our experience. Their expertise in trekking strategy, topography, botany, and life made this the journey of a lifetime. Thank you, gentlemen. And a big thank you to Balaram and Ganga (the masterminds behind Nepal Hiking Team) for everything you do.
From your grateful clients, Dante & Caleb
