It was a great experience to trek with Raj and Smile, who were attentive, kind, patient and fun company. I did this trek as a solo female and felt lucky to end up with this little group (Raj even took me to the airport himself on my last day). This was a fulfilling--and challenging!--trek. Would definitely do something with this company and these guides again.

I had the best experience doing the Annapurna Base Camp trek with Pratip (our guide) and Raju (our porter). They were full of information about the mountains, the place, the Nepali culture and they were very kind and friendly too ! They made sure we were safe at all time while helping us if needed (thank god for those extra blankets!). And they asked what we wanted or gave us alternatives. Thank you so much !!

The trek was phenomenal, being in the Himalayas, walking amongst mountains that are gigantically tall. It was a lot of walking, so be prepared. Pratip was the best guide ever, ensuring we were safe and answering any question we had. Even when conditions turned for the worse, we were well equipped due to him.
