I did the Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Access Nepal in June 2016. In short: Access Nepal made this an incredible experience. Overall the company is run exceptionally well. Sadhana responds to emails extremely quickly and in a very detailed manner. The information that I received prior to the trek matched 100% what I experienced during the hike.
The trek itself was great. The guide (Santosh) and the porter (Giri) were both fantastic. They were extremely friendly, knowledgeable about the region, and fun to hang out with (which is important giving the length of the trek). The tea houses were clean, comfortable a nice, the food was delicious and plentiful and the views were spectacular. In short: I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Access Nepal team and I always had the feeling that I was well taken care of.
One final thing: bring hiking sticks if you have them. Some sections of the trek have very steep stairs which can be slippery when they are wet. You can do it without (most people that I met on the hike didn’t have any trekking poles) but if you have a busted knee (like I do), hiking sticks will make your life better.
THANK YOU SO MUCH to Access Nepal for the Adventure of a Lifetime!
