ABC Trekking
My husband and I trekked to the amazing Annapurna Base Camp in October 2016 with Umesh our guide hired through Gokyo Treks and Expedition. Ammar organized everything for us with perfection. We stayed at Ammar’s home after arriving in Kathmandu. What a nice welcoming. We felt like family.
We had an amazing time with our Tour guide Umesh who has almost 20 years of experience trekking all over the Himalayas in Nepal. We had such an amazing trip. Pictures can not give back the natural beauty of the Himalayas.
It was amazing to be in nature far away from civilization. The trekking was hard but it was well worth the effort when we reached the amazing Annapurna Base camp. All the villages had simple tea houses and plentiful food options. I can not recommend enough Goyko Treks and Expeditions.
Trip of the lifetime !! Thank you very much, Ammar and Umesh for the amazing experience
