“My trekking partner and I took on the challenging 17-day Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek with Exciting Nepal Treks, and it was hands down the toughest but most rewarding adventure we’ve ever done! Our guide, Suman, was a true professional—his knowledge of the terrain and his calm approach to difficult sections kept us going. The remote nature of this trek required real expertise, and Suman had it in spades. He made sure we stayed safe, always checking in with us as we crossed high passes and navigated glaciers. Our porters, Ramesh and Hari, were nothing short of incredible. They carried our heavy bags like they were weightless and always greeted us with a smile despite the tough conditions. Exciting Nepal Treks provided us with top-quality gear, including crampons and down jackets, which were essential at higher altitudes. I could not imagine doing this trek without Exciting Nepal Treks, and I would recommend them for anyone up for a serious challenge. This was truly a 1000/1000 experience.”
