Annapurna Ghandruk Trekking with Jungle Safari at Chitwan National Park

I need more time to organize my trip to Nepal. Puru from Above the Himalayan Trekking helped me make the most of my short time here.

I took the best view of the Annapurna Ghandruk trek. After my trek, I went to the Chitwan National Park.

They both were spectacular, and I recommend them to anyone visiting Nepal. They arrange every aspect of pick-up and drop-off, food, accommodation, and activities.

I enjoyed my time here and owe much of that to Above the Himalayan Trekking.

Thank you

Ghandruk Trekking the best trip in Annapurna

Puru suggested a Ghandruk trek that suits me very well. All the guides that were with us were very professional. They knew everything about Nepal´s culture, and all the places I saw were excellent.

The agency officials were very polite and competent. The tour guide, Anju, was excellent, showing us Kathmandu, the temples, and the stupas; we loved her! During the trek, Phurba and Sunil were perfect.

They told us all about the small villages and the local culture. Even though we went during a season considered not the best time to visit Nepal, we were lucky.

The weather was great; it did not rain. I had a great view of Annapurna South, Machapuchare, and Annapurna III. Meeting the local people during the trekking was the most exciting experience.

Come back very soon!

Annapurna Ghandruk Trek in May

I had a great trekking experience with Puru and his staff. I spent a day in Kathmandu exploring the city. After going for three days, Ghandruk treks through the Annapurna region.

The tour guide in Kathmandu was terrific. He was upbeat and friendly, had tons of good info, and made for a delightful day around the city.

On my Ghandruk trek, I went with Hari as my guide, and he was awesome. We are about the same age, and he was easy to joke with, so we got along incredibly. As well, he knew all the good places to stop for views. He chooses the best place to eat and to stay overnight.

Puru himself also did a great job checking in with me. He made sure I had everything I needed. He answered any questions and made sure everything went well. All the accommodations were always up to or exceeding expectations.

Thanks again, guys! I’ll get back there someday to see you again.

Annapurna Ghandruk Trek - Best trip

I had only six days in Nepal, so I contacted Above the Himalayas to see if they could arrange a trip for me.

Puru promptly replied and organized everything, including internal flights, airport transfers, and hotels. I didn’t need to worry about a thing. I also found the prices quoted to be reasonable.

I did the three-day Ghandruk loop in the Annapurna region and had a fantastic time. My guide, Jyoti, was amiable and helpful.

I wasn’t very keen on my first hotel in Kathmandu (Shree Tibet), and when Puru came by to say hello, I mentioned it.

After my hike, he booked a different hotel for me when I returned to Kathmandu. Overall, I was pleased with the level of service. Puru listened to all of my comments and queries and took action in response.

That’s not always the case, and it was very much appreciated!

Annapurna Ghandruk Trek + Pokhara And Kathmandu Tour April

We only had time for a brief holiday (10 days) in Nepal—an idea to have at least a little trekking. We looked on their website for information on short trekking for kids.

They include ones suitable for kids (our daughter is 7 yrs). We contacted them with a brief outline of what we wanted to do. Ghandruk Trek is ideal for kids.

Surprisingly, we got the same evening response (despite the time difference). We enjoyed his comments/suggestions. From then on, it was some “fine-tuning,” and we felt very comfortable.

We’d arranged to begin & end Accommodation in Kathmandu and used their day trips. Upon arrival in Kathmandu, they agreed on everything. Even some very last-minute changes (such as squeezing in a flight to Mt Everest. They arrange it before departure for Pokhara) flight.

The accommodation organized was full as promised. (during trekking rooms with own bathroom). The guide had good English knowledge.

Both he and the porter were very friendly and helpful. We had a splendid holiday and recommended Above the Himalayas.
