In the fall, I went on a trek around Annapurna with Amrit. He was a very attentive, helpful, and smiling guide! He chose the best accommodations for us and showed us beautiful locations. Everything was clear and understandable! I really enjoyed our trip. Thank you!

Did my first ever hike in the Langtang region with Amrit as a guide. While I had no experience at all, Amrit guided us all the way and helped us get to the top! He's a very kind, funny and knowledgeable guy who's really at home in the mountains. It was a hard but very fun week full of laughter, games and listening to Amrit singing Nepali songs and showing us some of his dancing skills. Next time I'm in Nepal I'll take him as a guide for sure on other treks! Unforgettable experience and definitely recommend him
