There are so many choices of routes that you can keep coming back here and never see the same things twice. I trekked to Annapurna Base Camp, also known as the Sanctuary trek due to the proliferation of flora and fauna, and it was utterly breathtaking. We walked for around six hours each day and stayed the night in local guesthouses en route. The villages were incredibly friendly. I never would have attempted this on my own, but Nepal Dreams made it seem so easy. Everything was taken care of from the moment I arrived and they also gave me some great advice before I went too. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I had the time of my life, and Nepal Dreams made it all possible." Katie Law - London |
