Thank you Krishna and Global Adventure Trekking - I would like to say a big thank you for organising our trip to the Annapurna’s and your guide you supplied - Bidham was fantastic, he spoke English well, was quite funny and explained what the plan was each day, we then gave our input- depending on how the kids ( our daughters were 12 and 14 years old) were feeling and he was more then happy to change the plan to suit. The meal stops and the accommodation he recommended were all great and we really appreciated his help with finding great places to stay and negotiated prices. As we got closer to the pass, the kids were getting cold and tied- so we decided to take a Jeep from Chame to Manang to let the kids get a few extra rest days before going forward-it worked well. Pass day was another big day for us, it had snowed a lot the day before and was really cold and Bidham was a bit concerned, we had a chat and it was decided we would join a bigger group for safety and he would help and look after my youngest daughter Poppy for the day and I would focus on Holly our other daughter, we left at 430am and Bidham didn’t leave Poppy’s side until we walked into our hotel in Muktinath- 10 hours later and for that I’m very thankful, he went above and beyond to look after my daughter And make sure she was ok and enjoyed the day as best you can. We’re now sitting in Pokhara getting warm and relaxing after a great Annapurna circuit Trek organised by your company. Thank you again, Regards, Daryn, Beck, Holly and Poppy

Wonderful tour of Nepal - Wonderfully organised trip with a professional guide in the mountains and an excellent city guide for Kathmandu. We spent nine days hiking the marvellous ABC trek and stayed in tea houses and enjoyed the stunning view of the Himalaya. The fare well dinner was a great moment of reconciliation with our coordinator Mr. Dahal who brought everyone together. Many thanks to all of Global Adventure Trekking. I’m looking forward to another visit of Nepal.

An arduous trek accomplished with a most efficient support - I got this trekking tour as a last minute option without knowing what I got myself into. I thought I would be part of a group and when i learnt I would be on my own at first I got cold feet... How wrong I was. You wouldn't have found me a more suitable  guide in this unknown endeavour for me than Krishna Simkhada, a passionate and thorough proffesional. People like him are far in between... Where to start, a thorough professional. I used to work as a tour guide, for 4 years back in my home country Albania and I know what I am talking about. He explained everything to me about the trekking and adjusted it according to my physical capabilities. I have done a bit of trekking but this one was very tough. I am sure I wouldn't have completed it without his patience, care and encouragement. And I am immensely grateful. There was nothing that he couldn't do to make my trekking as doable and enjoyable as it could be. He took care of all aspects of trekking and hospitality. He took care of me as if I were his very old sister or his aunty. The mutual trust developed from the very start and now I consider him as a very close and reliable friend. Having completed this trek it has led me thinking of taking trekking more seriously, going around the mountains in my home country Albania and Europe and, why not coming back, and doing some more trekking and of course I know who I am going to book the trekking with...Global Adventure Trekking and of course Kriss, if he is available. People like Kriss would make any employer proud...He has certainly made me proud. People like him are like golden dust and a priceless asset for any company. Thank you for making this trek unforgettable. All the best Majlinda

Agency in Khatmandú - When I arrived to Khatmandu I've discussed with a lot of agencies around, trying to find the best service. While talking with Krishna, I knew that this agency was going to be the one. He took care of small details, and we closed the deal. He even lent me another backpack that they had there, not to damage mine. The trek was amazing, and the porter-guide was helpful. I missed some more explanations, but I was happy to share the experience with him. When I returned to Khatmandu, Krishna was waiting for me with a gift for having succeed! Thank you for everything :)

Mardi Himal Base Camp - Where do I even start, from the very first email I received from Krishna Dahal the MD of the company the service has been so professional and all my questions (yes there were many) answered so quickly and detailed. I’d recommend Global Adventure Trekking (GAT) any day. From the minute we got off the plane in Kathmandu we were looked after so well, by the time we’d got to our hotel in Thamel on arrival it was about 6pm – no problem to Krishna he kindly took a portion of our USD’s (15 of us) and went and exchanged it for us into Rupees getting a better rate for us than we would of got at the airport. He arrived back at the hotel about 20 minutes later with 15 small packets with Rupees for us. Our every need was attended to. Nothing was too much trouble. Rajan our guide took us shopping the following day pointing out the best stores in Kathmandu to buy trekking clothing even waiting with us whilst we shopped. We originally booked to do Annapurna Base Camp but because of the severe weather they’d recently experienced and the tea houses being damaged we were advised to change our trek to the Mardi Himal Trek. Personally I think we hit a luck as this trek was awesome, we couldn’t have wished for anything better. We relied on our wonderful guides Rajan and Netra to guide us safely at all times, they never put our lives in danger. The eldest person in our group was 74 years old, it was so touching to see how one of the porters held his arm in the one section where we walked in fresh snow. The porters that GAT used were amazing, these guys are so strong, they carry such heavy loads and do everything with a smile on their faces. I am humbled by these men. All our accommodation on our trip in Kathmandu, Pokhara and the 8 nights in tea houses was outstanding – the accommodation in the tea houses far exceeded my expectations, each tea house offered a clean bed with sheets, pillow and a huge comfy duvet. The food was also outstanding considering everything had to be transported by either a Nepalese man/woman/child or donkey. GAT spoiled our group on our last night and treated us to dinner and gave us each a lovely shirt as a memory of our wonderful time in Nepal. I already have a group interested to trek in Nepal in March 2020. My one friend looked at all my photos and sent me a message to say he wants the information to do exactly what I did - he has signed up already! I'm definitely no done with Nepal - I absolutely loved my experience. Thank you GAT for taking care of our group and for looking after us so well. You guys are absolutely brilliant. I know we'll remain friends for life and see you in 2020! A big year for tourism in Nepal.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek exceeds all expectations - It's not often a trip surpasses your expectations. Krishna from Global Adventure Trekking was fantastic. Friendly, professional and so helpful, he totally made our trip and trek stress free. I truly cannot recommend G.A.T. highly enough. From the pick-up at Kathmandu Airport, organising a last minute change of itinerary after we decided we would like to stay in Pokhara another day (they arranged a flight back to Kathmandu), he really went above and beyond what I imagined. Kriss our guide on the ABC trek was brilliant, so organised, professional and knowledgable. We felt quite nervous before the trek, wondering if we were up to it, Kriss really gave us confidence and took all the stress out of it, all we had to do was walk and be overwhelmed by the stunning scenery, no worries about where to stay, how to pace ourselves etc. We really enjoyed getting to know both Kriss and Krishna our porter over the 9 day trek. I highly recommend both the trek and Global Adventure Trekking.

Absolutely impeccable service and highly recommended for trekking in Nepal - I contacted Global Adventures on the recommendation of my good friend Rick who had previously trekked to Annapurna Base Camp with Netra as his guide. I can honestly say that this was the best recommendation and one of the best experiences of my life so far. Netra went above and beyond the call of duty in order to ensure that I had the best trekking experience possible. Everything was taken care of from my arrival at KTM airport to every meal and guest-house / tea-house along the way. The Annapurna Base Camp trek is in no way an easy option but it is perfectly achievable for most fit walkers with the right equipment and lots of willpower, Netra absolutely went out of his way to make sure that my 12 days of trekking were as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. I trusted him from Day 1 and was never disappointed. The overall cost was incredible value for the care and organisation involved from their side. I also made a life-long friend in Netra and his family/colleagues, and will definitely fulfil my promise to return to Nepal to visit them and see more of this wonderful country! If you're considering paying a visit to Nepal then please make sure that you contact this agency, as they will organise whatever trip/tour that you want...to suit your needs. I seriously can't recommend them highly enough!!!! Thanks to all of the team at Global Adventures for making this such a life-changing experience.

Great experience - We had the pleasure to first visit Chitwan through this agency and then did a trek to Poon Hill. We had a great experience overall and Khrisna was very helpful in selecting the things that fit us. In Pokhara we were picked up by our friendly guide Dipendra who went with us the whole trip to Poon Hill. He was a great company and even went the extra mile in helping us booking an other hotel in Pokhara. Upon returning to Kathmandu we met up with him for drinks. Would recommend!

Great experience to finish these 9 months travelling around the world - If you are looking for a good agency for your trek in Nepal, you have just found it ! Krishna the manager was very patient and helpfull, and had clearly understood what we were looking for. Our guide, Netra, and our porteur Deepok were perfect : very professionnal, king and attentive. They both know very well their job, country and culture. Thanks again for the experience !
