A Journey to Relieve Emotional Tiredness - I came to Pokhara for work during my stay in Nepal for about a month. I took this tour during one of those weekends. My heart was refreshed by being in touch with nature. And I received energy to live properly from nature. I would recommend anyone who plans to visit Pokhara in the future to join this tour. The guide who was taking care of me was very experienced and always considerate of my well being and pace. I appreciate his professionalism.

Great hike with Kumar - The two-day tour to the Australian Camp with our guide Kumar was incredibly great. Since we were already traveling in the rainy season, we unfortunately could not enjoy such a mountainous view, but our guide, who speaks really good English and also some words German, made the tour incredibly beautiful. We were able to learn a lot about the country in addition to a great route and just enjoyed a nice time with three. Next time we will do a longer tour with Kumar again!

Great experience! - The trek was great! Very doable for someone with some level of being active. Kumar was so helpful during the trip and kept us very entertained. All the work was so worth it and the views were beautiful even with the weather. Was also very quiet as we went during a low tourist season which I definitely liked. Definitely would have to come back for a longer trek.

Memorable visit to an impossible land - It was superb! We did a two-day trek to the Australian camp and Dhampus guided by Rome, a super professional, friendly and very competent guide. The landscapes are stunning and we had the pleasure of seeing the Annapurna mountain range almost cloudless. The Nepalese are incredible people and have a beautiful country! In Pokhara we visited the lake and had dinner in one of the restaurants next to it. Very beautiful! We will certainly return to this country soon!

A peaceful stay in the hills! - I loved every part of this Trek! As a solo female traveler I felt very comfortable with Roman. He ensured my safety and comfort and the overnight accommodation in Dhampus was very clean with beautiful views of the mountains. The owners of the guest house were very kind and welcoming and the food was delicious. Roman is very knowledgeable and passionate, which made the whole experience even better. This is a perfect mix of light trekking and experiencing a glimpse of village life. Highly recommend if you have a short stay in Pokhara!

Breathtaking views and incredible guide - Breathtaking views of the Annapurna mountain range, the trek provided a deeper appreciation of rural Nepalese life and the rich diversity in terms of culture and nature. Roman our guide was kind and so generous with his knowledge and love for the mountains. He tailored each step according to what we wanted to see, hear, eat and experience and we had the best sunrise and sunset hikes. Doing this trek in off peak season was really great because it often felt like we had the entire space to ourselves- the silence and peace after a busy week in Kathmandu was exactly what we needed! I had one of the greatest sleeps of my life sleeping over in Dhampus village and waking up to that view is something that will stay with me forever.

Great short trek - This is a great short trek for travelers who do not have time or are unable to do longer trek. The accommodation was nice and the area very pleasant. The staff at the guest house were friendly and generous. Had a very nice visit. The staff of Breath Nepal were extraordinary helpful. Roman helped with not just this tour but helped us with transportation to our hotel (which was across the lake). He made sure we were comfortable and he made things easy for us. Would highly recommend this business for any of its services.

Unforgettable experience with a true gentleman with incredible devotion to his country - Roman is such an incredible guide. My husband and I had a wonderful two days with him. He was very informative and during our many preceding emails Roman was realistic about what to expect and it was spot on. He was able to adjust his walking pace to suit our changing needs, as the weather was quite warm in the areas not forested. Having so many years experience and intimate knowledge of the paths and accomodation he suggested the best places to stay and eat. As we are quite fit 56 and 66yr olds ( getting over a back issue) we found the ascent easy along sloping paths. The accomodation was basic and clean with a comfortable bed and a neighbour cat that visited us. The descent was more challenging as there were ALOT of steps. We made it down , taking our time but did need several days for our calves to recover , aided by a few massages by an incredible blind masseuse in Pokhara. A highlight of our 2 weeks in Nepal, which has left us wanting to do an extended hike next time!
