My friends and I had never done a multiple day trek before—our experience was limited to only one-day weekend hikes. But the Nepal Hiking Team made everything smooth and super accommodating for us. On the first day, I underestimated the challenge of the trek and got quite sick due to the altitude and moving too quickly. Thankfully, our guide, Yubraj was incredibly supportive and shared the best tips that helped me recover quickly. After that, I wasn’t sick and fell well, and we all successfully reached Annapurna Base Camp with no major issues (apart from some sore legs!).
Our porters, Gurbinder and Krishna, were amazing, very kind, and we couldn’t have done without their help. By the end of the journey, we felt like we had made real friendships with the team. They even taught us a great fun card game that we’ll definitely play back home. Ganga, our first point of contact over email, was super helpful and made extending our stay in Nepal a breeze when we decided to stay beyond 14 days.
This ABC trek was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and was made all the better and memorable with the Nepal Hiking Team. If anyone is interested in trekking in Nepal, 100% recommend them!
