  I just finished my time trekking ABC with eco holidays and wanted to share my experience. Pros: - Dhruba is really kind and helpful - he let me borrow the sleeping bag and coat for an extra week after the end of my trip which really helped me out. - The scenery on the trek is amazing and the tea houses you stay in are all pretty decent with nice food etc even though I travelled during the off season. - All arrangements are smooth - there was no waiting around for transport etc. - My guide was Anup and he went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable - asking if I needed any drinks/ if the room was ok for me / if I was tired etc. he had clearly trekked in the area for a long time and knew the terrain well. I always felt very safe and at ease. Cons: - Anup was practically very helpful however his English was very very limited and he was unable to answer many basic queries. For the price and the advertisement for a well English guide, I would have hoped for a higher level of competency. Most questions I had about the terrain I had to either research on google or ask other guides that we met along the way at the tea houses who were much more adept at conversational English. - On the last day we were rushed straight from Jhinu into the jeep back to Pokhara and there was no chance to see the hot springs as stated on the itinerary. I was really disappointed about this as having spoken to people in Kathmandu about their trek, the hot springs were one of their highlights of their time in Nepal. - Communication pre trip could have been better. The hotel in Pokhara was fine ( although only 2 stars when I was told prior to travel it would be 3). The only other thing I would say is that you pay for your meals included so you feel pressure to have a big breakfast/ lunch/ dinner to get your moneys worth, however at such an altitude I found I was not actually that hungry. Plus due to the rigidity of the itinerary it meant sometimes we would stop for lunch around 11 in the morning so I wouldn’t want to eat anything and would just have to wait for the guide to have lunch. You also have to pay extra for your hot drinks etc - These are just things to consider when thinking about booking an all inclusive package trip. - The journey back to Pokhara is advertised as a luxury tourist bus however it was a very standard coach rather than the tourist buses such as baba adventure that offer couch suspension seating. This was fine but i was sat right at the back so it was quite uncomfortable. Also I never received the cap and t shirt as stated on the website. Overall I enjoyed the trek, just want to be completely transparent as I feel relative to the cost of the trek (including tip for the guide), there were a few factors that sadly fell a bit short of my expectations.

  The best Short Trek with spectacular views of Himalaya. We enjoyed very much during our Nepal Trek. Annapurna Base Camp, Ghandruk and Pokhara is the highlight of this Trek. Our Guide Rakesh was the best who take care our necessary things during Trek.

  An unforgettable experience for any adventurous soul! I recently completed the Annapurna Base Camp trek as a solo female trekker, and I must say, it was an incredible journey that I will never forget. The breathtaking views of the mountains, stunning landscapes, and rich culture of the Nepalese people made this trekking experience a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. The Annapurna Base Camp trek is challenging, but the rewards are worth it - from sunrise views at Annapurna Base Camp. As a solo female trekker, safety was a concern for me, but I felt completely safe booking through Ecoholidays Nepal and along the trek. Mr.Dhruba (owner of Ecoholidays) is extremely friendly, responsible and helpful, the local guides were very supportive, knowledgeable, and professional, making my journey stress-free and enjoyable. The accommodations along the trek were basic but comfortable, and the food was delicious and nutritious. The tea houses provided a perfect opportunity to meet other trekkers and exchange stories about our experiences. Overall, the Annapurna Base Camp trek is an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend to anyone who loves adventure and nature. If you're a solo female trekker like me, don't let safety concerns hold you back because Ecoholidays will definitely keep you safe. You can experience this amazing journey and create memories that will last a lifetime.

  The Annapurna Base Camp Trek was incredible. From the day I landed in Nepal, Dhruba and his team were very helpful and easy to deal with. I was even picked up from the airport at 11pm at no extra charge! Sagar, my guide for the trek, is very experienced and looked after me so well. Couldn't recommend Eco Holidays more. Thank you again!
