Uttam is the best! I opted for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek over 5 days, Uttam was exceptional and took great care of me. He had a wealth of experience and knowledge on the mountain and the local area. He ensured the accommodation, food, service and trekking was always satisfactory from me. It felt as though I had a mate with me the whole time and we became good friends by the end of the trek!

One of the best decisions of our life to go with this activity and operator. Anandraj and his team were super helpful in planning and coordinating the itenary. Me and my wife had a lovely time up in the mountains. Our guide Bishnu was one of the friendliest and understanding person we’ve ever come across. He kept us safe and cheered us up throughout the way. He is a great personality and we highly recommend to ask for him specifically. He can truly transform your experience and a great company to have. We will be doing more activities with this company due to the start of a great relationship we feel.
