I am almost 59 and have never been in Nepal before this trip although I was planning to go there for a long time. I have chosen Annapurna Base Camp trek as a one I could still make it; not too long and not too technically or physically challenging. I have found Annapurna Foothills Treks & Expedition on Internet and gave it a try. From the pickup in Kathmandu airport to the ride to the airport 3 weeks later I have experienced one of the best vacations in my life; mostly, thanks to a very good service I have received from the staff of Annapurna Foothills Treks & Expedition.There has never been any problem with transportation, any hotel or tea houses reservations including both MBC and ABC. I have seen many trekkers forced to either go to the next village or sleep on the floor as the October is the high season in the Annapurna region. The guide was very informative, full of humor, and I have received a lot of help with my daily needs from him. In my case, the mother nature has cooperated, and when needed the most - Poon Hill and MBC and ABC - it showed me the beauty of Himalayas. I could not ask for more.I definitely recommend this company and Ngima Nuru Sherpa specifically for trekking and mountaineering adventures in Nepal. If my health allow me to do it again on a different trek in Nepal I will arrange my trip trough them.

I have just returned after almost three weeks of trekking in the Everest region with Ngima Sherpa and his Everest Foothills Ltd Company. Having seen many other groups and guides, I can confidently say that Ngima is by far the most considerate and capable guide that we encountered anywhere in Nepal and that we were extremely lucky to have him and his company!From the time he met us in Kathmandu to the time he saw us off, we felt that we had not just a guide, but a friend who generously and conscientiously looked after our group. Little things matter - for example, in each place we stayed, Ngima had excellent personal knowledge of the various lodges, and ensured that we stayed at the best ones available. He has an excellent and diverse knowledge of Nepalese and Tibetan history, culture, and environment - all of which he shares with an infectious and genuine smile. He gets along well with not just us but also various lodge keepers and merchants in the mountains. We enjoyed meeting and trekking with him. In fact, I am already daydreaming about planning another trip with his company. I have heard nightmare stories of others for whom a guide was more of a buden than a help. As such, I, and the rest of my group, feel doubly and triply fortunate to have encountered Everest Foothills. I especially note this to those who are planning on booking with a western company - honestly, for trekking (including the more serious "trekking peak" trek-climbing) , there is little to no benefit to booking with a western company. I wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend Annapurna Foothills for your Annapurna or Everest region trek!

"Four weeks trekking in the Everest-region are impressing beyond words. And not the quality of your equipment or preparation guarantees for a successful and pleasent trip but an experienced and trustworthy Nepalese guide does:In this regard Ngima Sherpa and his Annapurna Foothill Trekking team are the perfect choice! The organization of our tour was most professional and done with a lot of experience and sensitivity for our needs. There was never a moment when it felt like anyone was just doing his job, a situation you can witness more often than you like along the way. Even in more extreme situations we always felt absolutely safe and sound.But the most important benefits for the tour are Ngimas vast communicative skills and his deep love for his country that he shares with his guests in all its varieties during hours of conversations about geography, botany, buddhism, traditions and ancient customs or the modern political or enviromental situation or any other topic. So each step can be an impulse for a new story, a teaching or a discovery, small or big. While never-tiring of our uncountable questions he really builds an intellectual bridge between Nepal and Europe.In short words: When you arrive in Nepal, you meet a wonderful and caring host and when you leave, you leave a good friend!Namaste and THANK YOU, Ngima!"Thank you once again for the impressing trip in November, I hope to see you soon in Germany or a little bit later again in Nepal,Robert GummlichEngelbertstrasse 4150674 Köln+ 49 172 2569414 mobil+ 49 221 67770510 bürohttp://www.robert-gummlich.deinfo@robert-gummlich.derobert.gummlich@gmx.de

After completing Mera, Amphu Labtsa Pass and Island Peak trip i feel its only right that i write a review of my experience with Annapurna Foothills Treks.I initially chose this company because of the price and they were much cheaper than the UK companies that offer a similar trek and by bypassing the middle man this will always bring the price down to a reasonable level...after completing the trek i feel the number of days offered is perfectly adequate to enjoy this demanding circuit and dont underestimate how tough it can be, but if you fancy a challenge and experience high altitude walking with some climbing throw in then this is the trek for you .The climbing guide Chhongba couldnt seem to do enough for us and constantly made sure we were fed and watered and comfortable ... the porters worked tirelessly to carry our kit and supplies and setup camp when necessaryAgain, using a company i didnt know was a risk but in fact, Annapurna Foothills turned out better than expected and im so chuffed i used themThanks again Ngima, Chhongba and all the porters for a great and enjoyable trip.Colin RoxboroughLymington, Hants, UKPS if anyone would like additional info or would like see my pictures then email mecrox01@hotmail.com

We discovered 'Annapurna Foothills' just by searching online and indeed, this was one company we contacted of many. As soon as I spoke to Ngima though, I knew that we wanted to trek with his company. He was so helpful from the start and made everything easy and clear, something that was very important for first time Nepal visitors such as ourselves. Once we were in Kathmandu, Ngima picked me up from the airport as promised and was around when we needed him prior to making our way to Pokhara. He made me feel welcome instantly and although we had most things arranged ourselves, made it clear that he would have done everything in his power to help us out and make our stay in Nepal as enjoyable as possible. If I ever have friends that decide to go to Nepal, I shall definitely be sending them in Ngima's direction.

We are two people from Ireland . We both are in our sixties. I am Claudia Egremont-Lee Paul and my friend’s name isClaudia Egremont-Lee. We find our guide Ngima (Tour operator) and his staffs very kind and professional. The company we received during the trek is simply wonderful. Ngima has got a good public relation with local people and it made our trip easy and comfortable. We strongly recommend this trip who loves adventure.Trekking Area: Annapurna sanctuaryClaudia Egremont-Lee, UK

Hi Ngima!! Just to tell you how happy we are after our trip to Nepal and Tibet. Everything was perfect, what we preferred the most was the trekking, stay at Pokhara and Tibet's landscaping.Is true that tibetian guide was a bit difficult and that he changed 4 of the 6 hotels that we had in the schedule, but Tibet landscaping and people worth it!!!We don't have anything to say about the program you made for us, was perfect!! Everything has been perfectly planned, days at Katmandu visiting temples, days at Pokhara visiting cave, cascade, museum and stupa. As my knee didn't have any problem, next time we'll make a longer trekking!!We recognize your effort trying to adapt the changes made by tibetian guide.The trip surpassed our expectations!!!Now at work I'm giving copies of your business card to colleges of mine that love trekking.To sum up, everything was perfect. If we have to propose some change that will be the hotel in Katmandu. It is not a 4 star hotel, is dirty, old and the water come out brown. Maybe is better a new, smaller hotel with not a big hall but cleaner (at breakfast, tablecloth and napkins were dirty). That is the only thing we'd change in the whole trip.Thank you very much for our unforgettable holiday.Hoping keep in touch with you,Mónica Cornejomonicacornejo_c@yahoo.es
