We booked a 12 day Annapurna circuit trek with The great adventure treks & expedition. In Kathmandu we met our guide Bikram and our porter Ganesh and we traveled to the start of the trek together. During the trek we had a great experience with them. Bikram is an experienced guide who knows the best routes, has experience on what to do in case of bad weather and could tell us about the places we visited. Additionally, he was able to book us in some amazing hotels on the way, and always made sure we had the best experience possible.
Ganesh was our porter, but also learning to be a guide. He is always very cheerful and knows a lot about the trek, but his English still needs some improvement. We really enjoyed talking to him and teaching him some English. In return he could tell us a lot about the mountains.
Overall, we were very happy with the company. They provided us a good price and it was great to have an experienced guide and porter on the trek. Especially when we saw some other guides and porters, we were happy that ours were well equipped (good shoes and clothes) and knew what to do in every situation.
