best Local Company

09-Jul-2019

Great from start to finish, and I really enjoyed the Poon Hill Trek. Easy to communicate with and answered all my questions in a timely manner. As a single traveler I was matched with another single traveler to share a room and the group as a whole was fantastic. We had well organized tours and our walk in the Annapurna region was well organized with friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. The whole trip was very sociable.
