My first ever trip to Annapurna base camp was with Mountain World Treks last February. And we're lucky enough to have Saligram as our guide. Very experienced, knowledgeable and good decision making. He's very attentive to the group needs(food, water, meds), knows our pace, always entertaining along the way (we had lots of good laugh), and the best of all, took great photos. Even if you don't take much photos, i bet Sali would have at least 1 great photo of you. As for the treks, you really have to be there to know what it's like. All i can say is it's worth it. So if you want to experience the Himalayas and have a great time, go with Mountain World Treks. They'll take care of you from the moment you arrived at the airport until you went back to the airport. I'm sure this is not the last time i'm joining them. Gotta try Annapurna Circuit Trek after this.[ Back ]
