Awesome trek

The trek was really well organized and our guide (Raj) was the best guide ever. It was unexpectedly cold for this time of year and we were provided with sleeping bags and warm jackets just in case. The porters were really sweet too, the whole crew seemed to be super attentive and helpful to us. Any problem we had was resolved and Raj took care of pretty much everything. Our group had 8 people in it, and sometimes there were troubles with people not feeling well due to altitude or just interpersonal differences between us, the crew always had something to help. I really enjoyed the trek!

Operator response

Dear Yulia, Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the Annapurna Circuit Short Trek with your family, and we'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Raj. "The best guide ever" will make his day. The weather can be so unpredictable up there, so we're glad the sleeping bags and warm jackets came in handy. Looking after a group of 8 through altitude and the occasional group dynamics takes a caring team, and it means a lot to hear that Raj, the porters, and the whole crew took such good care of you. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Nepal for another adventure soon! Warm regards, The Adventure Bound Nepal Team

An Unforgettable Annapurna Adventure with an Amazing Team

I had the chance to do the one-week Annapurna Circuit short trek, and I can only recommend it 100%! This experience was absolutely incredible, both for the beauty of the landscapes and the perfect organization of the trip. A huge thank you to my guide Santosh and my porter Tikaram, who were simply exceptional. Always kind, attentive, professional, and full of amazing energy, they played a big part in making this trek unforgettable. I felt safe and perfectly supported every step of the way. I really recommend this trek, and I already can’t wait to go on another adventure with Santosh and Tikaram!

Annapurna circuit

Adventure bound have been a great company to go through. They made booking super easy and flexible. They were also super clear with instructions and tasks we needed to do before going on the trek. Our guide Rabin was amazing. He was super friendly and kind. He made an effort to make the trip as comfortable for us as possible and was super honest and approachable. Would recommend adventure bound as the trekking company to book through and try to get guide Rabin

Recommended Adventure bound (Annapurna north circuit)

Adventure bound service and travel schedule. We learned about this travel agency from friends. Communication before departure, service on the go and climbing skills are very smooth and professional. We six invited two guides and three porters in total. (Main Guide: Raman, with Guide: Mohan and threeporters : Sanu, Krishna and Santosh) The English of the guide and the English of the travel agency contacts are very good, very stress-free in terms of communication, and also respond very quickly (usually less than half a day), the travel agency has hostels in Kathmandu and Pokhara, for the trip out of A to B helped a lot, the price of the hostel is fair and clean, we are first in Kathmandu to stay one to two nights after renovation and then depart, down the mountain directly to Pokhara's hostels. In terms of fitness, it is also very appropriate to respond to emergencies. This time, although we chose the best season for the dry season, but we also experienced about three days of storm snow on the mountain, Guide will be patient to communicate with everyone the current situation and various alternative options. Safety is no problem. The path also introduces all the mountains as well as the flowering grass on the road and various Nepalese cultures. We enjoy this trip very much! The tea house chosen by the company is also good and delicious 😍, and the group fee is not especially expensive, if you come to Nepal again, you will choose this company again.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your detailed experience with us. We’re glad to hear that the Annapurna Circuit Short Trek was smooth and enjoyable from planning to completion. It’s great to know that clear communication, professional guiding, and our team’s response during unexpected snow conditions helped keep the trek safe and well managed. Thank you for recognizing Raman, Mohan, and our porters for their support, and for the recommendation. We would be happy to welcome you back to Nepal again.

Fantastic Annapurna Circuit Short Trek

Our Annapurna Circuit Short Trek was an amazing experience for my daughter and myself. Our guide Santosh was very knowledgeable, patient and understanding to our needs and was always very enthusiastic with an attitude that kept us motivated at all times. All the lunch places and nightly stays at tea houses were great and all went to making a very memorable experience. To top it all off, we had great weather the whole trip with snow falling on the trek up to High Camp and then a perfectly clear day for the trek over Thorang-La Pass. A fantastic trip full of wonderful memories - thank you Santosh and Adventure Bound.

Operator response

Dear Tony, Thank you for this lovely review! We're so happy the Annapurna Circuit Short Trek was such a memorable experience for you and your daughter. Santosh will be delighted to read this. Knowledgeable, patient, and always motivating is exactly what we hope for in our guides. And it sounds like the weather truly delivered, from snowfall up to High Camp to a clear day over Thorong La Pass! Thank you for trekking with us. We'd love to welcome you and your daughter back to Nepal for another adventure! Warm regards, Adventure Bound Nepal Team

Unique Experience with great effort by the guide and organisation

The entire trip was very well Organised since we were short on time we decided to go with an agency. Probably this time best decision ever. If you are lucky you get Raj as a guide. I have never experienced so much effort sympathy and laughing to not only enjoy the countryside as it is but also getting in touch with the culture.The trip is tough even for trained hikers and it was nice to have a person all the time taking care of what is happening next. Absolute recommendation thank you very much !

Operator response

Dear Alessandra, Thank you for this wonderful review! We're so glad your decision to go with an agency turned out to be the best one, and that everything felt well organized despite your tight timeframe. Raj really is one of a kind, and it's lovely to hear how much effort, warmth, and laughter he brought to your trek. Connecting with the culture along the way, not just the scenery, is exactly what makes these trips special. And you're right that the trail is tough even for seasoned hikers, so we're glad you always had someone looking out for what came next. Thank you for the recommendation. We'd love to have you back in Nepal for another adventure! Warm regards, Adventure Bound Nepal Team

Great 11 days with Thorong-La pass crossing

11 days trekking from Jagat to Jomsom with flight to Pokhara. Beautiful tour with so many great impressions. Good organization by organizers and on site by our friendly and helpful guide Sandip. Accommodation was fine and the food always good. It was exhausting but we had a lot of fun. Living in the lowlands and crossing a pass at over 5,400m: It's okay! Christian

Our experienced guide Raj made this trek unforgettable!

Hiring the company Adventure Bound with Laxman’s friendly support and the experienced, funny and caring guide Raj was the best decision ever. Together with his porter Beesal, we had so much fun during the Annapurna Circuit trek. Raj knows where to find the best accommodations with excellent food and comfortable rooms (especially for couples!). He also cared for other travellers and welcomed everyone with an open heart on our journey. The ascent to Thorong La Pass was surprisingly tough due to strong winds in the morning which is unusual. But with the support of Raj and Beesal, we made it to the top! They became true friends on this trip. Can’t wait to book another adventure soon!

Operator response

Dear Kornelia, Thank you for this heartfelt review! We're so glad that booking with Adventure Bound turned out to be the best decision, and that Laxman's support made everything feel smooth from the start. Raj and Beesal will be so touched to read this. Finding the best tea houses, looking after couples, and welcoming fellow travellers with an open heart is exactly the spirit we love to see on the trail. Thorong La can be unpredictable, and those morning winds are no joke, so congratulations on making it to the top with Raj and Beesal by your side! It means a lot that they became true friends along the way. We can't wait to welcome you back to Nepal for your next adventure! Warm regards, Adventure Bound Nepal Team

Beautiful and unforgettable - Anapurna!!

Devi Raman Aryal- you were the best guide ever! Thanks so much for your friendly, polite and professional support. I was out with Raman for 14 days and we did the Anapurna Circuit and then the Poonhilltrek together for 2 days. It was just incredible! The views are amazing! Raman was very accommodating and left nothing to be desired. For the pass crossing he prepared us optimally, so we had no problems whatsoever. I was super happy. Thanks Raman, Mr Laxman and our team for this great vacation.
