We booked the Annapurna Circuit Trek with Himalayan Local Guide for 2 persons. Chitra Gurung, our main contact, was responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, and made prompt adjustments to our itinerary on short notice just before departure — no small thing given the complexity involved.
We are extremely pleased with our guide, Bashanta Gurung. His care, attentiveness, and sound judgment made this trip a genuinely enjoyable experience. He managed all logistics seamlessly — from securing the best available rooms each night to pacing us appropriately through the high-altitude sections — and always had our safety in mind. Vinod, our porter, went beyond his role, helping with photos and sharing his own trail food. You feel like you're travelling with close friends.
We unreservedly recommend Himalayan Local Guide for anyone coming to Nepal.
