Annpurna Basislager Trekking

I did a 9-day trek in the lower Annapurna region with a group 12 people, led by Ram and Dan and a group of awesome porters. I could not have dreamed up a better experience. I felt so safe with Ram and Dan as our guides, knowing that they were going to make the best decisions for our route based on conditions and abilities of each of the group members. They are so kind and knowledgeable, and so generously welcomed us into Nepal and shared the sacred mountains with us. We had wonderful experiences together as a group, mixed with moments of peaceful solitude along the trail knowing that our guides were keeping track of everyone's whereabouts. I highly recommend this experience to anyone, and know that it wouldn't be what it was without Ram's incredible leadership. Contact Ram to be your guide and you will be in the best hands!

My group trekked for 9-days in 2020, through Chommrong, Tadapani, Ghorepani, Tikkhedunga, etc. Ram Shahi helped me hike with confidence and humor throughout the Annapurna Trail trek. Ram is an incredible trekking guide; he’s smart and humble and so kind; he has an encyclopedic knowledge of the Himalayas (his English is excellent), and knows the trails as if they’re the lines on his own hands. Ram is full of illuminating facts regarding the mountains, flora and fauna, local villagers, and so much more. He always has your safety in mind. I am speaking truth when I say that I couldn’t have finished my trek without him. If you’re ever considering trekking Nepal, Ram is your man.

We had an incredible trip to Pokhara and Poon Hill. We only had 4 days of time but it all worked out perfectly. We flew to Pokhara from Kathmandu and were directly picked up from the airport by our awesome guide Mr Ram. Our trekking permits had already been organized so we could go directly to the starting point. We started hiking and went to Ulleri on the first day where we stayed in a nice teahouse our guide organized for us. On our way there, we learned a lot about the local plants, the villages and nepali culture. On the second day we went to Ghorepani where we stayed for one night and went up to Poon Hill early on the next day to see the sunrise. The view was absolutely spectacular. After that we had to walk all the way back which was quite exhausting but out guide was very supportive and we were really happy we did it. After one night in Pokhara we returned to Kathmandu. Everything went as planned and the time frame was also realistic. It was all perfectly organized and we didn’t have to worry about where to stay or about too high prices. We can definitely recommend!
