We picked Nepal Mountain Trekkers to support us in doing Annapurna Base Camp Trek at the beginning of spring break because they came highly recommended and had the trip advisor ratings to back it up. It was our 12 year old son’s first experience trekking in the Himalayas and we wanted someone we could trust. It proved to be a good decision because the day we left Pokhara he was really sick with a gastro issue. We set out anyway hoping he would recover. Without the support of the NMT team I don’t think we would have made it through the first few days. Our guide and porters were flexible and helpful in adapting our plans based on how things were going, his health, the weather etc. As a result of some good decisions we had the most amazing trekking experience, full of beauty, peace, challenge, fun and laughter. Just the best we could have hoped for. After we got back, there were some other things we wanted to do in Sarangot, Chitwan and Nagarkot. They advised us and helped us find and organize the rest of the trip at relatively little cost. We are already thinking about our next trip and it’s a no brainer for us to work with these guys again. A quick side note is that soon all trekkers will need a guide. There is a big difference between guys that you can trust and some of the other companies out there that might take advantage of you. Not saying there aren’t other good ones but just that there are some that think more about the money, than your welfare and what you need to have the best time possible.
