Our Annapurna trek (9 days) was organised so perfectly that we didn’t have to think about much other than what to eat and when to be ready. All of which was explained to us every step of the way.
TB (our guide and general boss man) and the porters were just delightful, always looking out for our wellbeing and general comfort (in somewhat uncomfortable environments at times) and they have become lifelong friends to the four of us (middle-aged women) who trekked together.
Our time in Khatmandu and Pokhara (either side of the trek) was also organised perfectly from arriving at the airport to our departure 3 weeks later. TB was even prepared to ‘shop’ with us and help us navigate the complexity of retail in Nepal.
Whilst barely noticeable, TB made changes on the trek and constantly sought out the best possible accomodation and routes to suit us and make sure we saw the majesty of the mountains and surrounds.
Absolutely nothing was too much trouble and we felt so safe and secure in their capable hands, right down to the multi cups of tea to keep us warm and hydrated, ice water for sore feet, the odd massage, fires lit just for us, being lifted up steep terrain and virtually carried across the odd suspension bridge when fear might have stopped us moving on.
I can’t recommend them highly enough, taking on such a challenging adventure requires true, experienced professionals and they were every bit of that.
Thank you so much to the whole team.
