Magical Nepal / Annapurna experience! - My friend and I did the Annapurna Base Camp trip with Mission Summit and they made our Nepal trip so so magical and memorable, I honestly don’t even know where to start! 1. Planning itinerary - Damu, the founder, was very responsive and hands-on in helping us plan our trip exactly how we wanted it - within our budget and within our trip duration. He was also super attentive and patient in answering every question. 2. Trek - They literally handled everything, from arranging all transportation, to booking our guesthouses every night. We just had to follow our guide and porter, Madan and Santa Gurung. They both made our trek experience so lovely. We felt safe and supported the whole time (important since we were 2 women travelers), and their local perspective was so so invaluable. Made our trek so much more enriching and memorable. 3. Safety - I actually had a medical emergency during our trek and had to arrange evacuation out of Annapurna. And the whole team went above and beyond in making sure I got the care I needed. They helped coordinate with my insurance agency, the helicopter team, the hospital, etc. I didn’t feel scared or nervous because I genuinely felt cared for. Safety is a huge concern when it comes to these kinds of trips, so for how the team handled my situation alone, I would 100% recommend them. They were very professional and helpful every step of the way. Punam, who is also part of the Mission Summit team, even made sure to visit me while I was checked in the hospital alone. I really appreciated that. 4. Kathmandu tour - Once we got out of Annapurna, Punam personally took us around Kathmandu to explore some temples and heritage sites. It was a great experience, and again her local perspective felt so special. She also arranged all our transport around the city so we didn’t have to worry about much else. Throughout the whole trip, the team would frequently check in on us to see how we’re feeling for the day, which was great. Could really feel the passion and care they put into these tours and making sure the guests get the best experience. We were even dropped off at the airport with gifts. I can’t recommend Mission Summit enough! Will definitely come back to them when we do the Everest Base Camp trek next time.

Memorable trekking experience :) - It was a truly amazing experience made even more memorable with the team. Damu, also our tour guide is very well versed with the treks and experienced. He also patiently answers to all our questions and diligently catering to our needs. Not to forget to mention our porter Battha (I hope I get his name right) who was very helpful and friendly throughout the whole journey. The whole trip was well planned with stops at tea houses ensuring we have ample rest prior to continuing our journey the subsequent days. Did my very first trip to Nepal and the ABC trek with them and this has carved deep pleasant memory and I will definitely come back again for other treks! Highly recommended to find them for the Himalayan treks! Excellent service!

Excellent ABC Trek - I did Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Mr Damu as my guide and Mr Bahta as my porter. Trip was excellently arranged. It was customizable and accomodating to personal needs. Mr Damu is the most amazing guide. With 16 years of experience, he is friendly, humble, caring and knowledgeable about the terrain. He even showed us the naturally carved Buddha on the cliff. For me being the first time coming to Nepal and trekking in an unfamiliar terrain, I feel very safe trekking with him. I can enjoy my trek and the view without needing to worry about some others errands. Overall, it was an excellent experience.

Excellent first time experience! - This is the first time I went for a trek this long and with a guide. The experience was very very good. 1. All the day travel, food and night stay were well planned and organised. 2. We had unexpected bad weather, our chopper got cancelled. But our return journey was made very comfortable nonetheless. Most importantly, our guide Damu and his team - Ram and Santa, were well versed with the whole trek route, they kept the pace we were comfortable with, adapted to unplanned changes and did everything to make this the most memorable trip ever.

Perfect!! - We just completed a memorable trek to the ABC! Damu (Damodar, owner - Mission Summit) guided us perfectly well - right from the planning stage till the end! Their team of experienced porters, proper trip planning to ensure acclimatization, tea house booking and food - each and every aspect was taken care off! During our trek, weather played spoilsport - we had to tweak our original plan - and Damu helped us with the same without a frown! Their knowledge and contacts in the region is worth mentioning about! We wholeheartedly recommend Damu and his agency!

Fantastic Tour of Annapurna Circuit - I went on the Annapurna circuit tour with Damu as a guide. He was knowledgeable, thoughtful, friendly and interesting and really made sure I had a great trip. Really hoping to come back to Nepal for another tour some time!

Highly recommended! - If you are looking for a guide and planning to go to Nepal for hiking, this is the sign! Damu and His team are highly recommended! My friends and I enjoyed our ABC trek. He communicate so well, precise details about the day to day activities. He provide affordable packages! Thank you so much, Damu!

Wowmazing Experience!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - We expect to experience the spring season when we arrive and do our ABC trek. But it was cold and unexpected snow fall welcomed us on our trek to the Annapurna Base Camp. Even though we didn’t expect this kind of weather, Mission Summit Trek team prepared and ensure that we are safe and enjoy our 9-day trek. We really had a great experience with the help of this team. Definitely we will get Mission Summit Trek when we push our Everest Base Camp trek plan. Namaste!

Best Ever! - For the many reasons it could have gone wrong, my Annapurna Base Camp trek actually turned out to be my best trek ever. All thanks to wonderful Globe Adventure Club buddies and Mission Summit Trek team. I decided to join on the last minute for a supposedly summer hike. Without much time, I wasn’t able to check hike details and conditions. What it actually was a snowy trek and rains in the afternoon for which I was ill-prepared. Good thing, Mission Summit planned it well for us, from the cozy accommodations, scenic routes, well planned schedule and even our logistics. Our itinerary allowed us to enjoy the trails (not too tiring) and we were able to camp before the afternoon rains. We stayed in comfortable tea houses for the night. All thanks to Damu’s connections, we had no problem in securing and even got the comfortable accommodations. Heard that some fellow trekkers were not able to get beds in base camp. Mission Summit even provided sleeping bags for us. As for the trail route, I enjoyed the village hops and the friendly locals. From there, scenic views of farm lands, mossy forest, rivers, waterfalls, and snow capped mountains unfold. The side trek to Poon Hill gave the panoramic view of the Annapurna range before the climactic hike to base camp. Much of the credits is also owed to the porters, who not only carried our bags but they even entertained us. They were with us all throughout the trek, unlike the other group who had problems with their porter abandoning them (they had to redistribute their loads and had to go slower). Every meal, our porters even surprised us with a plate of fruits or biscuits to go with coffee/tea. The experience was one for the books. And we have Mission Summit Treks to thank for.

ABC trek review - Amazing trekking experience brought to you by Damu and crew. The friendly nature of the expedition team made me feel like traveling with friends you know for a long time.
