Trek Central is one of the best companies which will create your wonderful trips!!! ...Trust me!!!! Because we had a wonderful time hiking with Ganga and my lovely Porter - Hari in May 2023. We did 11 days in Nepal and then 7 days Annapurna Base Camp hike. The hiking was great. We met great people, ate nice local foods and saw incredible views. Besides that, Ganga was knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful and funny. Also, Hari was nice, hard working and taking care of our stuffs. We enjoyed our time with them. Thank you for organizing our trip so well and taking care of all the aspects of a fun vacation. You were extremely professional and well behaved in your services which made our trip absolutely amazing. Thank you...Thank you...and Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️

An unforgetable experience! Starting with the Boss-Sittal, continuing with an extaordinary guide-Saffal that took care of every detail of the trecking and last but not least a very capable sherpa-Pandee, we had a really strong team. I will most definetly return for more trecking with them!
