Excellent experience in Nepal thanks to High Spirit Treks&expeditions - We, my husband and I, would like to express our greatest appreciation and thanks to the agency High Spirit Treks&expeditions, who planned and effectively managed our trekking in Nepal. I'm not an expert in trekkings - this is the first trekking I do, actually - but their friendly and professional approach, of both their manager Shiva, and their guide and porter, helped us to enjoy this trekking and overcome problems we had to face, due to an  unexpected bad weather and rain who affected a considerable part of the trekking itself. In particular,  I'd like to underline their flexibility in changing the original agreed plan and adapt the daily schedule (time departure, hotel booking, destinations etc.) according to our hiking pace and weather conditions. In detail, as we couldn't reach the final destination of Annapurna Base Camp, we included Sarangkot as additional stop, and add (at our own cost) one additional night in Pokhara, a very nice and peaceful city we particularly liked. From our first contact, Shiva always gave immediate feedback to our e-mails and WhatsApps  and thoroughly checked how the trekking was proceeding.  In summary, we would recommend High Spirit Treks&expeditions, for everyone - even not expert - who would like to enjoy a visit and a trekking emotion in Nepal.

Annapurna Trek, Pokhara, and Kathmandu - My wife and I decided to spend our post-covid honeymoon in Nepal. Without knowing how we can enjoy Nepal in its maximal potential, we decided to reach out to High Spirits. From the first moment, the main focus of High Spirits was make sure we enjoy Nepal and that we spend our time doing what we will enjoy the most. The company organized a private tour in Nepal, visiting Kathmandu, the surrounding area, and Pokhara. Afterwards we trekked the impressive Annapurna circle and Annapurna Basecamp. We were able to enjoy the architecture, culture, and traditions. Additionally, the company made sure that we received the best hospitality everywhere we stayed. We felt supported and listened to at all the time. High Spirits made sure each day was the activity level and activities we sought. Our porter & guide was fantastic. We had to change our route due to weather. We all agreed on the new route and we were still able to see everything we were looking for. High Spirit Treks is a highly recommended company that provided us with an unforgettable experience in Nepal. We will be back for a new adventure with them.
