                    Annapurna Base Camp Trek March 2023

                    We cannot recommend this trip enough. Flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara to Kathmandu was spectacular thru the Himalayas and the trek route was dramatic beginning in the lower forests garden and foothills before climbing up to MBC & ABC trail offered unforgettable scenery, lodges were comfortable all overnight stay and provided incredible food with plenty of variety available. Our entire Nepal spirit crew Tony, Jhalak, Bisal, and Susil were incredible, Poon Hill was the best highlight point to see the beautiful sunrise with the whole Annapurna Himalayan ranges. 2023/03/27

                    Memorable Annapurna base camp

                    We were seven travelers from Australia and went on 9 days trek to Annapurna base camp with the best company. Everything from communication with Mr. Ram was incredible. The Trek guide we had Tony was the best guide and knew very well about the region, people along the trek were jealous of how amazingly funny, and informative, and all porters were friendly and helpful, we could not have had a better team. We had the best mountain views every day and wasn’t only a mountain vista, we think this region must be famous for its ethnic culture, River, flora fauna/ Annapurna conservation. We enjoyed bathing in Jhinu hot spring, flight KTM-PKR was short and scenic the Nepal Spirit Adventure truly made our trek most memorable, we recommend this company 100% and will be returning using the same company for other adventure activities!!
