Thank you so much for your experience through Annapurna Circuit trek (21 days). Our guide (Ramesh) and porters (Harry & Krishna) were the best; so informative, cheerful, helpful, happy and good to walk together with. The company has really been helpful, organizing everything properly. We will always remember Nepal as a country with amazing nature, astonishing mountains and friendly, beautiful people. We will recommend this trip to everyone we know, an unforgettable memory! Thank you!!
18 days it was an excellent experience, it was hard work but we made it to the finish line and wouldn’t have made it with out our guide Hummas Jackson he made it all worth while. It was a different world for us and I am looking forward to returning to Nepal for my next back!!!!!\ Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Excellent caring guide/porter. Delighted we didn’t join a big group- we met so many different people on the pressure of a large group. Hummas the guide was very supportive & alert at all time.
Thanks a lot for the really well organized trip around Annapurna. We crossed a lot of different landscapes,what we liked very much. The high mountains ( especially Annapurna II ) were very impressive. A big thank you to our guide & porter and to you, Nava, for the great organization, you did for us ! ! Thanks ! ! We really enjoyed in Nepal, please note, it would be great to have enough time in Pokhara as well, it’s really worth to visit . MANY THANKS !
Annapurna circuit was a fantastic trip. Very easy to organize via the website & emails, of which I always had a very fast reply. I went alone after my group got held up, but it was still great & perhaps better as a could go at my own pace. My guide, Surya was very contentious & caring. We always stayed in nice places & the food was yummy. It was great meeting different people from all over the world & hearing their stories. The scenery is spectacular & around every corner is something new to see. Highly recommended this trek, its an experience of a life time. Thanks,
Thank you very much for the lovely trek through Annapurna .We had a wonderful time- and Bhimsen as well as Gopal did a fantastic job!
The trek round the Annapurna was a wonderful experience for me. It was well organized by Nava and Bhimsen guided me safe and competent. He was a lovely, friendly companion and provided me with all what I needed. Thanks so much!!
Namaste!!! This is Stace from Australia. Just a quick note to thank you all- esp. my mate THAKUR for such an awesome experience trekking the Annapurna Circuit is something trek I will never forget. The memories I will keep with me for my lifetime. I loved every moment of the journey + can’t wait to come back someday soon and tackle Everest. Thanking again,
What on awesome experience trekking the Annapurna circuit ! ! I highly recommend Nepal Environmental Trekking. To begin with Nava Raj's professional friendly assistance: great staff put me at ease; provided me with all the info. I needed Shree Ram was a very caring; competent guide. When I was not feeling well he was especially attentive; checked how I was doing many times during the day. I was well taken care of. Compared to my fellow trekkers on the trail who did not have a guide, I felt so much more informed about the people, their way of life, my surroundings, the religion, culture. I originally thought that I wanted to go with a group but I 'm so glad to have been on my own. I could travel at my own pace, program, not feel pressured into keeping up with a group. I could choose to be social or not. All trekking companies are not the same. Nepal Environmental is first rate. HAPPY TRAILS,
Our 21 days trek of the Annapurna circuit was awesome. Our guide ANG DAWA SHERPA was a huge factor to the great time + memorable experience we had. At all time he was professional, knowledgeable, strong + sensitive to our needs - everything you want in a guide. He intimately knew the mountains + the village people. His mountaineering background + stories were interesting too, at the end of the trek he left as our friend. We can't recommend him enough. The package put together by Nepal Environmental was also professional, reasonable + of high quality. Our accommodation, food etc, we were very pleased with. Overall we thought that this longer trek was a great way to see some of Nepal.
It's my second time trekking in Nepal with the same company and the same guide, Ang Dawa Sherpa. This time the trek was longer form the first time and the season was different but I enjoyed it much. The rain was not too strong, it was quite refreshing actually, many flowers along the way, fresh food, a warm welcome and nice talk with my guide who knows a lot about the local culture and who has always been helpful in difficult moments (slightly breathing problems) in high altitudes + 4800 walking through landslides, I always felt very secure in his company and would recommend him as a trekking guide. I know that some trekkers choose to go trekking by themselves for financial reason. In my opinion it's a mistake and you would miss a lot. No explanation about anything, no help should a problem arise, no security in case of accident. I have found Nepal Environmental trekking agency very friendly and professional. If I came back to Nepal, I will definitely use the same agency and the same guide. Thank you very much.
Dear Mr. Nava, I would like to express my appreciation and thank you and your team for taking care of us during the Annapurna Circuit trek. Special mention goes to Ratna and his team of porters for ensuring that everyone had a safe, smooth and most of all enjoyable trekking experience. They had gone out of the way to accommodate every little request from all of us. The team has become an integral part of our invaluable experience and I will cherish it forever. Warmest regards and best wishes to all.
Pokhara I have just completed the Annapurna Circuit. It was a wonderful three weeks of trekking in a magnificent nature that we so seldom have contact with. The trek was organized by the Nepal Environmental Treks and Expedition P. Ltd., a company I choose after doing substantial shopping around in Kathmandu. I was thoroughly satisfied with the services this company provided. I was especially satisfied with my guide, Pradeep. He was extremely professional, knowing what to do in all situations. His encouragement, good sense of humour, and all round positive energy helped me immensely to finish this trek in great spirits. I would recommend him without any hesitation.
Just returned from the Annapurna Circuit Trek in about 20 day’s. We really had a great time! From the day we left to Besi Sahar till the finish in Dhampus. The Thorang-La made a great impression on me: low oxygen, strong winds and the feelings to be among those big mountains just great. One great thanks to our guide, Mr. Sherpa for showing us around and teaching us some Nepali and of course Nepal Environmental Treks (NET) for getting us in touch with this guide. Thanks,
Many thanks. I had an amazing time and the guide and porter were wonderful. Its an experience which I will never forget and I hope to come back one day and do the full Annapurna Circuit or may be even Everest! I will definitely recommend Nepal Environmental Treks to others.
