Trekking Review
Mardi Trekking
From: London Reviewed Date : 6 May 2018 3 Excellent 3 ReviewsWe had a great time with the trek team, who both looked after us well. Our guide Ram was very good at adjusting our schedule on the trek, to make the best use of the sometimes bad weather, and taking account of our abilities.
The tea houses were better than we expected and were generally well organized too. The hotels organized in Thamel, Pokhara, and Bhaktapur were all perfect for us. The trek up through the forest to the final mountain ridge was very enjoyable, and we did get some fine views of the rain, hail, and snow.
5 Star Experience and Service
From :California Reviewed Date : December 22, 2016 3 Excellent 3 ReviewsThis was my first time in Nepal and taking a hike of this length. Our trek lasted 7 days went along the Annapurna panorama and Poonhill. The views were indescribable! At times it felt like you were looking at a poster or Macbook screensaver. Although parts were challenging, overall the experience was incredibly rewarding. Also a great workout! Everything was planned out so we could enjoy the journey. It gives you peace of mind knowing you have a professional guide, good food, and proper accommodations. Special thanks to Ammar and our guide Ram - He is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and kind. He went above and beyond any expectations.
