My husband and I did the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. Our guide, Raaj, was excellent. He was organised, capable, reliable, reassuring, encouraging and always happy. He was well prepared and told us to get crampons for the Base Camp which turned out to be essential. We met other trekkers who did not have them and it would have been more difficult and dangerous without them. Raaj involved us when decisions had to be made and he really wanted us to have the best experience possible. We always felt we could trek at whatever pace we were happy with. We also couldn't have done it without Bharat, our porter. He was also always cheerful, looked out for us and even played us beautiful music on his flute. Amigo made it very easy to tailor the trip to our wants. Niti was so prompt answering my questions and she made it very simple to arrange everything. Amigo's day trip of Kathmandu was excellent. Niti organised a great trip to Chitwan and airport pickups and dropoffs all went smoothly. It was a very memorable adventure. We are so glad we did it and very happy with Amigo Treks.

I highy recommend Amigo Treks. Our trip was very well-organised, everything has been taken care of. Our guide, Niraj, was knowledgeable and fun to be around. Also our porter, Arjun, was amazing and super friendly. The trek is an unfogettable experience, with changing landscapes, local villages, beautiful bamboo forests and even hot springs. We had our entire itinerary, accommodation and food organised for us I recommend Amigo Treks to everyone thinking about a trek in the Himalaya. Thank you for the amazing experience!

Excellent company and would highly recommend anyone traveling to ABC to book with them! Me and my friend just completed ABC trek in first week of November and whole trek was fantastic. Would like to thanks Neeti as she was helpful and courteous and big thank you to Suman our guide and Jeevan our porter. Suman looked after our every need and exceeded our expectations.

I am a solo traveller. I was worried about this trip as I pushed out my trip from Easter to Aug due to my back issue. However Aug was monsoon season and the trekking may be difficult. When I arrived Kathmandu, Tika explained the trip details and expected weather condition. He is friendly, professional, patient and fast response (email) . During 8 days trek, I went with Ranjan (tour guide) and Gopal (porter). They know the trek very well and told me what I need to pay attention to next 2-3 hours trek (up/down/ lots of bridges/ pay attention to leeches etc). We walked like a “sandwish” and I was always in the middle which they tried their best to make sure my safety. In some areas which have a lot of leeches, they put salt on my shoes and checked my shoes, trekking pole, pants every 2 mins to ensure I am “leeches free” (I am serious. They did this!) I was well protected and I didn’t get any leeches bite even in monsoon season. Thanks Ranjan and Gopal! When I arrived base camp, I had headache. They always checked my condition, reminded me to wear enough clothes and drank water. I was being taken good care of. since I travelled alone, they did respect me a lot. They are willing to teach me Nepali. I had a wonderful trekking experience. I am so lucky to trek with them. Definitely I will come to Nepal again (EBC 😌) and will join Amigo! I don’t know how to express my gratitude. Really thanks for Tika, Ranjan and Gopal.

Just finished relaxing and enjoyable ABC trek with 16 year old son and treasure the experience. We enjoyed the company and laughs with our guide Nerij and porter Deepak who worked well together and were excellent. Nerij was mindful of our welfare, trying to get us to eat and drink more and advising us what to expect each day and at ABC. He also liased well about altering the itinery slightly which suited us well.We were very lucky with the weather and had amazing clear views especilly at ABC which was really a bonus as the walking is just great in itself. Estimated times from guide were accurate and plenty of rest stops if needed. Though working , walking either up or down the days were most pleasurable and satisfying.Love walking in Nepal and very happy with all Amigo staff and service.

We were wondering which company to book with to the the Annapurna Base Camp trek in March/April. We sent out 5 emails to 5 different trekking companies, and Amigo Treks & Expedition stood out from the beginning. The follow-up prior to coming to Nepal was very informative, extremely helpful and prompt. Our guide's name was Rajan and he was very knowledgeable, experienced and helpful. We always felt safe and comfortable in the teahouses where everything went great! Raj always put us in the mood and was a great leader and motivator! Our porter Promod was always a very reliable and sweet guy, we were very lucky on every front. I highly recommend this company and I also recommend that you ask for Raj as a guide! You will not regret it. Have fun and Namaste

As first time trekkers we really did not know what to expect and was first attracted to this site due to the extent of the reviews and the fact that the company is based and run by Nepaliese (Tika) We booked the 8 day Annapurna Base Camp trek (23rd Nov +) and was very well informed and organised from the start, the whole team delivered 100% We would like to thank Tika, Dinesh Lamichhane our Guide and Shunda our porter for making the trip fun and memorable; who as well as excellent organisational and communication skills made everything seem efortless and adapted to meet our needs. The Trek was as described but far exceeded our expectations as far a natural beauty, flora and fauna! I cannot see why anyone would pay more when all of the accomodation and food within the sanctury is restricted and made standard (for hygiene and logistical reasons). there is no first class...! but accomodation is clean and tidy with amazing views and communal dining which gives you a chance to meet others who are all in the same boat! You do need to be fairly fit for this and need to have put in some effort in advance.. up to 7 hours trekking a day with some long sweaty accents... but soooooo worth it! If you are still reading this.... What are you waiting for... BOOK IT! Thank you once again and hope to see you again Amigo's. Ross & Snowy - (40 yrs ish)

Here's a picture of us, our guide, Navaraj, our porters Sudip and guide assistant? Nabaraj enjoyking dinner together on our last day at Pokhara! Thankful to have Nava and his team with us on our 7 day trek to Annapurna basecamp. During our journey trekking up, Nava never hesitates to share stories and pointing out the various mountains to us..love all the stories, jokes, adventures and experiences that he shared with us over our meals or tea time! He is a great story teller..somehow you'll just wanna listen to him when he speaks. Definitely a down to earth man with big dreams and a big heart. We are incredibly blessed to have him as our guide during this hiking trip..he constantly check on us, making sure that we are well physically, whether we have sufficient clothing etc..😊😊😊 I was experiencing intense cramps on the day when we are reaching the Annapurna basecamp, hence I was walking at "tortoise" pace. Yet, he didn't rush me but simply encouraged me" It's okay, Bistari, Bistari.." Bistari means slowly slowly in Nepali..😊 I was ultraaaa bistari during a couple of days but Navaraj just follow behind me step by step, ensuring my safety and well-being. Thank you Nava! Couldn't be more grateful to have you guiding and helping us with all the lodging & preparations! Definitely recommend Nava and his team to those are looking to join a trekking trip!

Our group of 5 decided to embark on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Amigo Treks based on the cost and reviews online, and we now are satisfied customers ourselves! Everything was seamless and fuss-free from the start: communication with Tika, meeting Tika & our guide Nava the day before the trek, and throughout the entire 8-day trek. I will like to specially commend Nava for his attentiveness and professionalism. We have no problem communicating in English. As an experienced guide he possessed knowledge of the various treks through Nepal, accurate information on how much longer we have to walk for the day and encouraged us each step of the way. He ensured we felt okay and were well-fed. I had a bad headache in the middle of the night at base camp and Nava didn't mind me waking him up for some medication. Even after the trek he assisted with accommodation at Pokhara when we decided last minute to extend our stay, made our bus bookings and met us on his off-day back in Thamel to bring us shopping for some gear! Our team of porters were excellent as well; Sudip and Deepak were full of energy and smiles, and made sure we have our backpacks at the end of each day. Nabaraj as an assistant guide was also excellent, walking with us and helping with meal orders. The rapport among the entire team was good and we had much fun and laughter sharing snacks, stories and mingling! Thank you Amigo Treks, we are glad to have made it to base camp with this team and when we are back in Nepal for more trekking we would be looking forward to share the adventure with Nava, Nabaraj, Sudip and Deepak again!
