An Unforgettable Trek with Santosh in the Annapurna This trek in the Annapurna was an incredible experience, and meeting Santosh made it even more special. From the very beginning, I knew it was going to be a great adventure. Santosh is an exceptional guide. He knows the mountains by heart and shares his knowledge with passion. Thanks to him, I discovered not only breathtaking landscapes but also Nepalese culture and the kindness of the local people. The trek wasn’t easy, with steep climbs and long days of walking. We walked fast during the day, but every effort was worth it. The snow-capped peaks, forests, rivers, and small villages made the journey magical. Santosh always knew when to motivate, when to slow down, and when to take a moment to admire the view. The conversations, the laughter over a hot cup of tea, and the stories we shared made this adventure unforgettable. This trek will remain in my memory forever. Namaste from Switzerland Maud & Luigj

5 out of 5 stars

Very nice trek! Our guide Amrit was very attentive to our needs (breaks, food, etc.). He reserved accommodation for us as well as places to eat with very beautiful views. We were delighted to have done this activity and to have discovered this part of Nepal. I recommend this activity with my eyes closed. Please be aware that this is not a hike and that it requires a certain physical condition. Also plan a larger budget than in the city for food on average 25 euros per person per day (tourist rate)

5 out of 5 stars

Snow peak and tours is a fantastic company. Just finished the trek with Santos and had a brilliant time, felt very safe and it is clear he has a lot of experience. Would highly recommend
