ABC in July

Raju Nepali was an excellent guide, and I would highly recommend him for the Annapurna Base Camp trek. As someone who enjoys trekking and has experience with similar hikes, I found that the biggest value of having Raju as my guide was not only the walking itself, but everything around it. He took care of accommodation, meals, and all the small details, which made the whole trek completely stress-free. Raju is kind, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about the people he guides. He knows many people along the route, which makes arranging things in the villages much easier and creates a very welcoming experience. I did the trek during the monsoon season and was pleasantly surprised by the weather and the beautiful views we still had. Thank you, Raju, for making this trek such a memorable experience!

ABC Trek 5 Days / 4 Nights — Feedback & Review

ABC Trek 5 Days / 4 Nights — Feedback & Review We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek, a 5-day, 4-night journey that exceeded all our expectations. Our group of five was expertly guided by Prakash Rijal and supported by three dedicated porters throughout the entire trek. From the very first day, Prakash demonstrated outstanding professionalism and genuine care for our group. He was always attentive to our pace, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and safe on the trail. His knowledge of the route, the mountains, and the local culture enriched our experience far beyond just walking — he truly brought the Himalayas to life for us. What impressed us most was how Prakash and the porters looked after every detail. Whether it was adjusting the pace for those who needed more time, offering encouragement on the steeper sections, or sharing stories and laughter along the way, they made us feel like family rather than just clients. Their warmth and hospitality reflected the very best of Nepali culture. The three porters were equally remarkable. They carried our bags with incredible strength and endurance, always arriving ahead of us with smiles on their faces. Despite the challenging terrain and altitude, they remained cheerful, helpful, and professional at all times. We truly appreciate their hard work and dedication, which allowed us to enjoy the trek without worry. This trip was filled with joy, breathtaking scenery, and unforgettable memories. We felt safe, well taken care of, and genuinely happy every single day. The teamwork between Prakash and the porters was seamless, and their combined effort made this one of the best travel experiences any of us have ever had. We wholeheartedly recommend Prakash Rijal as a guide for anyone considering the ABC Trek or any trek in Nepal. His professionalism, friendliness, and passion for the mountains are second to none. A huge thank you to Prakash and the entire porter team — you made our Himalayan dream come true! Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) With heartfelt gratitude, A group of 5 happy trekkers

Great ABC trek with Bikash

I did the ABC 5-day trek in April 2026 and had a really good experience. My guide, Bikash, was great throughout the trek. He was friendly, patient, and always checked that I was doing okay. He knew the route well and made me feel safe and comfortable, especially on the tougher parts of the trek. I also really appreciate the porter, who worked very hard and was always kind and helpful. Both Bikash and the porter made the trip much easier and more enjoyable. The views were beautiful, and overall it was a very memorable trek. I’m grateful to both of them and would definitely recommend this experience.

A Majestic Journey to Annapurna Base Camp: A Solo Trek Made Seamless

Heading into the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek as a solo traveler, I naturally had a few apprehensions about how the journey would unfold on my own. However, looking back, choosing Cordial Trek was hands down the best decision I made. From day one, my guide, Bikash Shrestha, went above and beyond to ensure every single one of my needs was taken care of, making me feel completely safe and supported throughout the entire adventure. The trek itself is no joke; it is physically demanding, and the endless, steep stone stairs were a true test of endurance. But whenever the trail got tough, Bikash was right there, offering encouragement and pacing the journey perfectly so I never felt overwhelmed. Having such a professional and attentive guide by my side made all the difference. The hospitality along the way was another major highlight. The tea houses we stayed at offered full facilities, surprisingly good food to fuel the days, and views that were simply unforgettable. Waking up to those landscapes made every steep climb worth it. Reaching the base camp and standing before the majestic, panoramic views of the Himalayan mountain range was an absolutely magnificent, humbling experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Cordial Trek and Bikash Shrestha to anyone seeking a safe, comfortable, and deeply rewarding adventure in the Himalayas.

Annapurna BC

I joined the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek in April 2026. Our guide, Bikash, had a great sense of humor and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. He was very reliable, always looking out for the participants by carefully managing the trekking pace, providing support at the lodges, and even helping me deal with issues that arose after the tour. He consistently put the needs of the group first and made us feel well taken care of throughout the journey. I highly recommend Bikash as a guide.

Perfect for a medium-level trek or a first experience

Excellent trek to Annapurna Base Camp! Everything was very well organized from start to finish: transportation, accommodations, meals, and logistics. A big thank you to our guide, Bikash, for his professionalism, kindness, and attention throughout the journey. The landscapes were absolutely stunning, and the experience will remain one of the highlights of our trip to Nepal. I recommend it without hesitation!
