North Annapurna Base Camp Trek Review
North Annapurna Base Camp Hike just superb
We met Ammar in 2010 and arranged some hikes for our friends sometimes. In 2019 September, we hike the north Annapurna base camp with a tent trek.
Ammar suggested an optional visit to Kali Gandaki valley taking some extra days but we were tight in our hiking schedule so we descend Pokhara via road-long ride. If you are planning to hike Nepal to achieve a wilderness experience then visit the north base camp Annapurna route.
Our Guide was a Pasang, a local Sherpa guide from Everest who helped us arrange the best hiking gear for camping trips. Ammar, owner of the agency answered all our questions and also arranged everything like booking a hotel in the city, porters, cook, guide, all permits, and Ghasa to Pokhara jeep ride. Once again, thank you, and looking forward to going on another trip with you guys.
