Annapurna Base Camp Trek

I had the best adventure with my friends doing the Annapurna Base Camp Trek.

When the manager from My Everest Trip picked us up at the airport, we were so excited about Nepal and our trek. We had a few days in Kathmandu before our tour, and Puru was very helpful in ensuring the taxi drivers would not cheat us, showing us good places to eat and shop, and helping with everything we needed. Before the trek, he made sure we had an excellent briefing, and we were amazed to hear he would guide the tour himself and his assistant guide Ratna.  

The trek was hard work and great fun. All the staff joining in on tour was passionate about their work. Some of the porters did not speak much English, but we communicated the best we could and laughed a lot because one of my friends is a bit of an actor and always tried to act out what she wanted to tell them. Puru was the whole trek present and kind, not only to us but to everybody we met; one day, we walked with a group from another company, and Puru noticed that one of the girls was struggling a bit and without a word, he just took her backpack so she could walk more accessible. 

I do not doubt that the people at My Everest Trip, led by Puru, represent modern Nepal with deep roots in tradition, culture, and humility. They are modest people with excellent knowledge of their country.

After the trek, we had plans to stay a few days on our own in Pokhara to relax and do paragliding. Before Puru returned to Kathmandu, he arranged for a nice hotel and our bus ticket back to Kathmandu, where he would meet us and go for dinner.

We are very thankful for the personal service we received; we could not have wished for anything more, except maybe for more time in Nepal, so I think we need to go back and meet all the good and warm-hearted people again.   

I give you my warmest recommendation.

My Everest trip is a top professional and highly valued Trekking agency. Due to my work as a teacher on a Danish “Højskole”, I go every second year to Nepal for trekking. I started to work with My Everest Trip 6 years ago and I appreciate the hard work they put into making our stay in Nepal pleasant.

I did the Annapurna Base Camp trek twice with different groups of students both times with the guide Yam, who always does a great job connecting with the young people, leading the way, and spreading happiness when they struggle on the trails.

Many years of experience and good management place this agency among the top trekking agencies in Nepal and I will continue working with this agency in the years to come. 

I highly value the service offered by the staff at My Everest Trip. Friends recommended the agency and the Annapurna Base Camp trek, and I understand why. All members of the team are responsible and polite people. 

I always travel alone to meet new friends, so I specifically asked for a fixed departure where I would be grouped with other people.   

Ratna, an experienced guide in the Annapurna region, led the group. This shows in the way he manages everything. Before starting the trek, any concern I might have had was blown away the minute I met the guide and the porters. I saw how well the manager treated them, and they were pleased and just as excited to go as I was. After a few days, I spent the evenings playing cards with the porters, who were great fun.

The days in these beautiful surroundings passed so quickly, and I was unfortunate when I had to say goodbye to all my new friends.

I hope to return to Nepal one day and meet all my new friends again. 

I had the privilege to spend four weeks in Nepal in the autumn of 2018. I wanted to do a long trek mixed with relaxation and cultural experiences. I aimed to get out of Kathmandu as quickly as possible after my arrival and start the tour. Puru put up a perfect schedule for me.

The day after I arrived in Kathmandu, we took off for Pokhara, and on day 3, my trek started. This was a perfect option for me as I needed peace of mind, and this trek and the staff that followed me did a fantastic job giving me just that.

After the trek, I spend a few days in Pokhara, visiting beautiful sights and enjoying life. Then I went by bus to Chitwan, where Puru had booked a room at a lovely resort and arranged for activities like jungle safari and bird watching.

After some quiet days in Chitwan, I was ready to face Kathmandu and spend a few days here visiting all the must-sees and shopping in Thamel.

Puru is not only an expert in putting up trips but also an expert in reading his clients and what they need. Customizing this journey down to every little detail, like bus tickets, was just what I needed, and I left Nepal feeling like a new person.
I cannot thank Puru and all his employees enough and will return one day.

I understand why this trek is one of the most popular treks in Nepal and why My Everest Trip is so highly valued by its clients. I had the pleasure to do this trek with the guide Krishna and he did a fantastic job.

All aspects of the trek were very well taken care of by Puru and I could just enjoy every moment of my walk. If I faced an obstacle on the way, Krishna would help me to overcome it in a nice and polite way. This trek has a long daily walk, but in good company with nice people, it’s not a problem.

I would love to do another trek with all my new friends at My Everest Trip in the future, and I recommend the company to other trekkers, who want good value at a reasonable cost

This is a trek that should be on everybody’s to-do list. I did this trek with sine friends, Before, during, and after The trek, The team at My Everest Trip did a fantastic job making this an unforgettable trip. The trek is a bit hard but Our guide always makes it The Best way for us.

I highly recommend this Company and will Absolutely to here again if I come back to Nepal In The future
Thank you everybody at My Everest Trip. Hope we meet again.

Best trip in Nepal. Puru is the best guide you could wish for. I went to Nepal alone for a trekking trip and to Anapurna with Puru. I was a little scared about the trip, but when I knew Puru everything relaxed.
The best trekking with the best guide.
It is recommended!

I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends Nepal is an incredible country with many different layers and attractions. It’s no wonder this country that’s tucked away in the mountains attracts so many different kinds of people: hippies in hemp clothing with dreadlocks and ukuleles strapped to their hips, old retirees looking for adventure in their moonlight years, adrenaline junkies looking to challenge their selves and conquer some of the world’s most enticing and deadly peaks. Regardless of what sort of person you are when you arrive here, this place will change you! I’ve heard it being said that you do not go to Nepal for a vacation; you go for an adventure. Any adventurer will tell you that if you’re setting out on an experience that’s going to be physically demanding and where you’ll know it will be pushing you to limits you hadn’t come close to yet, it’s essential to have a plan and understand what you’re getting involved with. That, my dear reader, is where my good friend comes to your rescue. Puru is a guide who I met during my first Nepal trek as we climbed up to Poon Hill and then up to Annapurna Base Camp. He was guiding a middle-aged Chinese woman, and our group of three finished our first day off at their heels, talking about the trek and our hopes for the weather. As the girls, he was very kind and patient with us from the beginning, and I asked him various questions about what we were getting ourselves into. Throughout the next week, our two groups were always around each other. Sometimes we stayed in the same lodges in the same towns; other days, we would catch each other on the trails and stop for water breaks. This was all very friendly and kind; Puru was highly knowledgeable about the mountains and willing to help us with whatever questions we had (while still having the self-confidence to laugh if we were asking stupid,  redundant questions and would tell us so). It wasn’t until the end of our trek that I realized what a fantastic man Puru is, what sets him aside from the several other guides I had already met. When we were all at the top of Annapurna Base Camp, we were caught in a heavy snowstorm with a mean wind. There was a group of us close to 10 people at the top, and we were all outside laughing and screaming into the wind that threatened our descent. I wrote about this situation in one of my previous blogs. Still, essentially Puru had taken me aside and, knowing that I was familiar with copious amounts of snow and being in the mountains, told me that it was up to the two of us to get the rest of the group down safely. The snowstorm had erased the trail we had used the day before, so we would have to create our new path down the mountain through the avalanche zone. Puru fearlessly leads the way through uncharted territory with enough confidence to make the entire group, including myself, feel just as confident as he.

One of our group slipped from the edge of our path and began falling, but  Puru instantly jumped from the ledge and caught her from falling too far down the mountain face, me hot on his heels. We weren’t even part of his group, just a crew of tourists he had taken under his wing to ensure that we would enjoy our time and make it through safely. I contacted Puru once we got back to Kathmandu and asked him for advice on planning my hike up to Everest Base Camp. With a great smile and a cup of tea, he welcomed me into his office in the heart of Kathmandu and helped me plan everything I needed for this next adventure of mine. Puru and his team have trekked through all of the areas in Nepal and are apparent experts. He helped me customize my itinerary and helped arrange everything from the flights to what sort of clothing and snacks we should bring. As if that wasn’t enough, after we had booked flights, he could change our flight dates multiple times for us – free of charge. He even arranged for my friend and me to take a helicopter up into the mountains without additional cost – a scarce thing, I’m told! Puru was not just a man looking to expand his business but genuinely wanted to help you have the best time possible in his beautiful country. His company can help arrange any treks you are interested in doing. He is an excellent guide who can take the fittest of the fit and the frailest up these mountains.

But most importantly, he is a great human with a kind heart. Over the few weeks that Puru and I came to know each other, I’m honoured to be able to call him a brother. If you ever go to Nepal and are yearning for adventure, look no further than Puru at My Everest Trip for all the help you could ever need. Check out his website for information on how to get a hold of him and what services he provides to his family.
