Experience the Himalayas the Way you Want - I was fortunate to trek with Madu, his wife Pramila, and two of his friends on a customized tour to Muktinath. Madu made the experience as stress free as possible, as he took care of all of the logistics, from the bus rides, lodging, and ordering food. He also was a wealth of information about the area, introduced us to some of the local culture around the Mustang area, and allowed us some freedom to explore. I'm really grateful to have visited so many Tibetan Buddhist temples, to walk under the 108 water taps at the Muktinath temple, experience a Hindu aarti ceremony, hunt for shaligram on the Kali Kandaki, go cave exploring, and just be in the Himalayas with a caring and trustworthy guide. Whether you want a cultural experience or to trek the Himalayas, Madu will ensure you have the experience of a lifetime. He's a great guy, and even better human being. I've met a guide, and made a good friend.

Great trekking experience with Madhav - Madhav is a great guide and amazing person. He knows what he does, by heart. And always keen to make sure his customers are comfortable and having a great time. We did the poonhill trekking and it was a lifetime experience for me.

Perfect Manaslu Trek - We have been with 2 other friends trekking around mont Manaslu for 12 days. Madhu the guide build up a team of 4 trekers with a great spirit. He tries the most to be into local stays more that tourist ones. And we all thanked him for that. Always smiling, I think he can make you do a lot more that you think you can. Power of smile and happiness ! He cares about the group he has. I will keep a great memory of this first trek in Nepal! I can only recommend this to all curious people about Nepal and discovering new landscapes, wishing to be together but not too many people. Thank you Madhu!

Great Guide, Great Friend and the most reliable service one can find. Trust me, in terrains like the Himalayas, you'll be gratef - I went with two of my best friends, all excited about a trek in the Himalayas, not knowing what it entails. I had no preparation apart from the flag I took that I would take a picture with when we are at the Annapurna Basecamp. What came later was terrifying (to me) to say the least. I found out that I have a fear of heights, and have a much weaker heart than I imagined. However, I still managed to go till Machapuchure Basecamp, which is just two hours less of ABC, all because of how fantastic Madhav, the guide was. He held my hand throughout, ensured I am able to march on without feeling guilty or ashamed of my lack of courage unlike my friends, and had a big smile all along. We can't thank him enough for the wonderful time he gave us. He wasn't a guide, he was more a friend we found on the trek who made it even more memorable. I will not go trekking without him, and we already have plans for Mardi Himal!

Great trekking experience with Shree in the Himalayas - I am glad that I decided to book a tour with AAA Treks and Expedition. I was my first time to go to Pokhara last April 2019 and my guide Shree was very professional and fun to trek with. The views were not that clear due to the fog but during the end of the trip we were able to see Mt. Annapurna and Mt. Machhapuchhare. I cannot wait to go back book a tour again! Highly recommended!
