Adventure - I had an amazing trip of 18 days around Annapurna Circuit with 4 of my friends. We flew all the way from Delhi. Our guides, with their deep expertise, made the experience seamless, leaving us free to soak in the beauty and forge unforgettable memories with friends. Thank you, team, for making our adventure so special.

Great trek with outstanding experienced team - We had a very good experience with Hari and his Team. We had a case of altitude sickness and needed to change plans. And there we found all the team shining in their roles. We could choose between several options and were supported in any with valid information and great expertise. Only the poor English of our guide was a little inconvenience for both sides. Anyway, thank Hari and his Tram we experienced the outstanding nature of the Annapurna trek.
You’ll find cheaper options for trekking the Annapurna, but get your money’s worth with this choice.

A perfect trip in every way - This was my fourth trek with Shiva Shreshta from Accessible Adventures and like the earlier treks this was also perfect in every way. Basically from the moment I landed at Kathmandu airport to the time I'm dropped off there, Accessible Adventures takes care of everything. We enjoyed a wonderful trek from Syange to Muktinath over 9 days - with beautiful views all long. Shiva is a great guide to have along, because along with his expertise in guiding clients on treks, he is very knowledgeable about local customs, religion, politics etc. We had a very nice time walking together discussing a lot of interesting topics which made the trek additionally enjoyable. Transportation, food, lodging - everything was planned excellently and as a result the whole trek was extremely enjoyable.
As I mentioned above, I have done many treks with Shiva and Accessible Adventures, and have also sent many of my friends on treks with them. They have always ensured the best experience for my friends and myself and I will recommend them to everybody who wants a great experience in Nepa.

A great adventure on Annapurna trek - Our trip was on Annapurna trek, with Tilicho Lake, Mesokanta La Pass and Chulu Far East, a 6050m peak climb. It was a 21 days adventure going through some beautiful small villages - Chame, Ngawal, Manang, and having the most extraordinary view of Annapurna from Upper Pisang. The lodges where we stayed had great location, with beautiful view over the surroundings, clean and with excellent food. Personally I choose to eat vegetarian during the trek, but I can say that the food was delicious, the vegetables fresh and tasted great. The team was extraordinary, Lalit - the guide and Tilac and Pemba - the porters where so great, taking care of everything, being always one step ahead and making decisions as the moment required. Their presence just made the trek better and we had the best time together! Also, Hari from Accessible Adventure took great care also in the cities we visited: Pokhara and Kathmandu, from the transportation from and to the airport, to the guide that accompanied us in a one day visit in Kathmandu to anything that appear. So thankful to all of them and once again pleased that I choose Hari to manage my second visit in Nepal. Big thanks to you, Hari, and to the entire team!! Looking forward to meet again soon!!!

Annapurna's circuit in August - An incredible trek. Being August, the rains accompanied us for more than one day (and the leeches too) and the mountains were visible for a few minutes but even so the surroundings are spectacular. There are moments of improvement, of fun, of having time for yourself...
We went with Shiva and we are delighted. Respect your space, although you can also have very interesting conversations with him, he is a good board game player as well as a good guide. We recommend it!

Nar Phu Valley the hidden gem - Actually visited Nar Phu Valley first before joining the Annapurna Circuit. Was amazing almost having the whole ‘Hidden Valley’ to ourselves where there were no crowds (and no roads!). Mr Uru, my trekking guide, was amazing in setting the pace and leading me through two mountain passes! Although it was challenging with the sharp ascension over six days, it was truly rewarding with not only marvellous mountain views (Annapurnas, Pisang, etc.) but also enriching tours of ancient Tibetan towns & gompas. Third time in Nepal and always with Accessible Adventure, many thanks to Mr Uru, Shiva, Hari and Himal for what was yet again a memorable journey.

Best trek ever - My girlfriend and I just returned from a 14-day Annapurna Circuit Trek with Accessible Adventure. I honestly cannot suggest it highly enough. Our guide (Shiva) and porter (Bhim) were fantastic and made the trip unforgettable for us. They both spoke good English, making conversation simple, and they both had a terrific sense of humour, making the trip extremely enjoyable. We learned so much about the region from Shiva's depth of information and felt confident in his enormous expertise. He took care of everything for us (from meals to lodgings to permission inspections), so we could simply relax and enjoy the event.Ganesh also made sure we had all we needed and was a great source of laughter while we played local card games! He was a pleasure to deal with and took great delight in his job. The view was breathtaking and well exceeded my expectations. The program is carefully planned out and provides lots of balance throughout. Himal checked in with us every day to make sure we were okay, which put us at rest. He did all in his ability to ensure that we were content during the journey.

Best Trekking - Himal and the Accessible Adventure team went above and beyond to ensure that our group had a fantastic time. Everything was professional, and communication was prompt, allowing our group to focus solely on enjoying an exciting vacation. We never had a problem with the guides, porters, or personnel during our walk. The booking process was simple, and Himal was always available to answer questions and provide assistance. I'd want to thank our guide and assistant guide for their excellent service. I have previously trekked the Everest region and surrounding areas with other companies, but after this trip, I will not hesitate to book with Accessible Adventure. In summary, the entire process and experience was faultless from booking to arrival and then onto our tour, which is a huge credit to Himal and the team. Thank you again; we shall return soon:)

Great company - I completed the Annapurna Circuit, thank you so much to Ram, who went out of the way to make this trip, that I'd been planning so long,and memorable. He was always checking in with me during the hike to make sure I was going ok and if I needed anything. It was wonderful to hear from Ram even after I left the trek, to make sure I'd made next destination Ok and wish me a Merry Christmas.
Himal was great to deal with, answered all questions really quickly, and all plans happened as they said.
Fantastic experience, would do again, made easy by AccessibleAdventure.

Amazing experience with accessible - One of the nicest treks I've ever done was the Annapurna circuit. In 2022, I finished it with my sister (we're both in our early sixties) on a private tour. Accessible Adventure, a highly professional group, organized everything very nicely.
Himal originally gave excellent guidance on the trip.
Shiva, our trekking guide, was knowledgeable, attentive, skilled, and kind. He and Nomoratz, our porter, who carried our baggage with such good humour, made the trip a success for us. The Himalayas are the world's most stunning mountain range.
The walk was rigorous and difficult (more so for me than for my sister), but it was an unforgettable experience. We've learnt a lot about Hinduism and Buddhism, and we've grown to love and respect the Nepalese people. They are fantastic hosts with a fascinating culture that we have loved learning about.
If you are thinking about hiking in Nepal, I definitely suggest this business, our guide, and porter. Those who visit this nation will find genuine adventure, beauty, and cultural encounters.
