    · March 12th, 2020
    It was an amazing trek to the Annapurna Base Camp. We enjoyed every single moment. Despite our first attempt to climb such a high altitude, the trip was not that tough. Accommodations were basic with no private rest rooms but whatever we got was superb to rest after a challenging day, I believe. Instead, was a lifetime experience, I believe. Beautiful views of Fishtail, Annapurna Mountains and off course the friendly people. Thanks to the team of Oriental Journeys, our guide Mahindra for giving us such an wonderful and rewarding experience!

    Just finished our majestic Annapurna Base Camp Trek excited to say I wont be forgetting about it. Definitely it will give me a long lasting memory. Despite the rainy season I fully enjoyed. What a fantastic — and very challenging! — experience. My guide Nabin was superb throughout, always there to help in any query. Friendly and professional. Views were spectacular and well worth the long hike up. Would recommend to anyone has the dream of seeing the Himalayas up close and personal. Thanks Radhika and Oriental Journeys team for perfect arrangement.

    It is difficult to believe how beautiful the views you experience on this trek really are, even after actually doing it. We were lucky enough to have clear blue skies and sunshine for almost the whole 11 days, with just one foggy afternoon and one rainy morning on the way down. We loved the people, nature, mountains and views all the way. What really made the trek even better, though, was our experienced guide. Aneel from Oriental Journeys was honestly outstanding, doing his utmost to make our experience as comfortable as it could be. He enjoy hiking with and we will definitely be seeing Oriental Journeys again somehow when we go back to Nepal !
