This tour was fabulous from start to finish . The guide Binod and the porters Prakash,Suzan,Shisir,and Ramesh were all , fantastic. Binod was kind, professional and very focused on making sure everyone was safe, happy , well informed and had the best trip possible. The trekking was challenging at times but really beautiful, the scenery ,really stunning . Binod and his team gave us time to appreciate the natural diversity of the Annapurna and it’s beautiful people . The Chitwan National Park was also truly lovely an addition to the trip that was relaxing and fascinating. This trip will always be a treasured memory for me , it was diverse , exciting and fantastic fun shared with lovely likeminded people from around the world and our team of fabulous Nepalese guides and porters made it a trip of a life time .
