Unforgettable mountain experience - 5-day ABC trek in December

5.00We recently completed a 5-day trek to Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) organized by Cordial Trek and had an amazing time in the mountains. I'm very thankful that our guide, Nilakantha, was arranged for us. He was outstanding: not only highly experienced, but also kind, thoughtful, and deeply insightful. Reaching ABC in three days was no small feat. Between the endless stairs, the effects of altitude sickness, freezing nights, and lack of sleep, it was both both physically and mentally challenging. Throughout it all, Nilakantha and our wonderful porter, Naryan, supported and encouraged us constantly, showing great awareness and care for our wellbeing. Despite the challenges, the trek was incredibly fulfilling. We enjoyed stunning mountain views, saw many beautiful birds, and experienced the Himalayas in a way that felt truly unforgettable.

5.00The guide Om Raj and the porter Shakti were both so helpful and cheerful so it was the great experience all the time during the trip. The guide tried to make our wish even ton the difficult situation like at the basecamp or on the way trekking. The view from the basecamp was amazing! The view between MBC and ABC is wonderful so you can enjoy even on the way to ABC.

5.00It was my first Himalayan and my first Annapurna trek, and I was moved from start to finish. Our guide terens tamang and the porter were very dedicated to support us, so we were able to trek with great peace of mind. They also applied for permits during the trek on our behalf, which was very helpful. I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity.

5.00Thanks to a lovely guide with a good sense of humour and kindness, and Mr Porter who always cared, we made it to the ABC without any worries. I'm so grateful that I'd like to ask both of you to come to Nepal again! I was also able to rely on him to guide me around the mountains and deal with my illness. The guides and porters made the whole five-day trip comfortable and enjoyable. ABC is so much better than I ever imagined and the whole time and scenery still haunts me as I descend. It's a place I want everyone to visit.
