Amazing experience! Truly a once in a lifetime trip with an expert guide - My son (16) and I really enjoyed our trip with Pasang and Dorje. Trip guide Pasang is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and did everything he could to make our trip memorable and easy for us. It was very relaxing to have someone knowledgeable arrange the itinerary, lodging, and pretty much everything. I enjoyed chatting with both him and our assistant guide Dorje—they happily answered our questions about Nepal while asking about our lives too.
My only regret is that we came for such a short time—we are already planning our return for a longer visit.

Perfect trip to the mountains, everyone! - Annapurna View Trek is one of the easiest treks for everyone because its highest point is 3201m above sea level. From the top of Poon Hills, you can see the entire Himalayan range. This trek is perfect for flora and Fanna, local file style, rhododendrons flowers, Himalayan scenery, and sunrise and sunset lovers. This trek fits everyone from the age of 8 to 80. The Annapurna View Trek offers a delightful experience for nature enthusiasts, as it allows them to immerse themselves in the stunning beauty of the Himalayas. Additionally, this trek provides an opportunity to witness the unique cultural practices of the local communities residing in the region.

Wonderful guides, beautiful views, outstanding adventure - This was an absolutely amazing trip. Pasang arranged all the details for smooth transport from the airport to my hotel, where he and my guide updated me on additional info for the trek. Transportation and accommodations were all safe and comfortable. Great food at each of our stops. Pasang and Nema are both welcoming, with a great sense of humor, care for safety, and awareness of different levels of support that participants require. This trek is doable with moderate fitness level and some basic training. Pack light! I also brought a water bottle with a built in filter, which made it easy to fill up at the water foundations regularly along the path. Pasang went above and beyond and arranged a quick tour through some of the must see sites and stupas in Kathmandu before I had to get to the airport. I only had a short time to stay in Nepal this trip, but would definitely come back for a longer and more extreme adventure with Pasang and his crew. Cannot thank you enough for making me feel safe and comfortable on this trek!

My awesome solo trip - I couldn't wish for a better trip than this trip I had with Mount Adventure. Pasang has organised my trip so well, it was hassle free for me.
As it was my first multi day trek, I was actually very nervous to do it. The 2nd day trek was the longest, with alot of steps. Of course I thought I couldn't reach Poon Hill as I have read alot of reviews saying how difficult it is. But with the support from Pasang and his porter, I was able to do it. I have also seen other guides who were not prepared for the slippery winter slops. But Pasang who is very experienced in this field prepared crampons and made sure I do the trek safely. His top priority is always safety and making sure we trek and rest comfortably throughout the trip. The guesthouse booked during the trek were also great.
