5.00Absolutely brilliant service from start to finish with Breakfree adventures. Very organised and kept good contact throughout. The trek itself was great, our guide was patient and knowledgable. The overnight stay in Ghorepani was again well organised and comfortable. Thankyou for a very memorable trip.

5.00In October 2018 my good friend, Eike Hansen and I undertook a 12-day trek in the Annapurna region of Nepal. It was a great experience; not just for the amazing mountain scenery, but also for the glimpses of rural mountain life, the kindness of the people in the villages, and the sharing of mealtimes in the tea-houses with people from every part of the world. The trek would not have been possible without the support of our Nepalese trekking company, Breakfree Adventures and their excellent staff, Ramesh (guide) and Deepak (porter).
