I had such an amazing trek to the Annapurna Base Camp through Poon Hill. Since I didn't do it in the high season I avoid the crowds and I believe we got a pretty good weather for the season we were in and even if the afternoons were cloudy the views in the morning were incredible. Many thanks to my guide and friend Birman Tamang, who made this experience unforgettable and adapted to my pace and needs every time. Since we were faster than what we planned in the beginning he changed the route on the way so I could make the most of my trek.
Totally recommended!!

ABC with Trekking Team Group was an outstanding choice! With so many companies to choose from it is difficult to determine who will be best suited to your needs- especially online! While in Thamel I spent the weekend before our family trek comparing companies and I found TTG to be most accommodating, professional, experienced when discussing various trekking options. Our trip to ABC with TTG was the best value out of the 6 companies I compared and looking back I would not have changed a thing! Our guide, Hari, was exceptional- patient, knowledgable, well-spoken. Overall, very pleased with Trekking Team Group and the experience!

Three of us walked off the street into the T.T.G.'s Thamel office and from this friendly start put together a nice 10 day package starting from Pokhara and trekking to Annapurna Base Camp and back. Care and attention were put into our itinerary starting with three initial meetings and our finalised, reasonable all-inclusive price included our guide, food and guesthouse lodgings; With some being simple, spartan rooms and others more complete, depending on their altitude, relative remoteness, road access and building supplies. All were adequate.
Our guide, Hari, was perfect for us. Speaking good English and ample knowledge of local Nepalese customs, culture and history, geography, flora and fauna, mountain stats and trail insights. Hari was kind, fun, kept us at a good pace, and in the end we all felt as if we'd known him longer than our near two weeks together. I would definitely hire up again with Hari and Team Trekking Group for our next Nepalese adventure. Outstanding !

I can't say enough about our friendly knowledgeable local guide Hari who lead us on our 10 day trekking adventure to ABC, as well as the professional, friendly service provided by Trekking Team Group from our first meeting. We were able to discuss and arrange all the important details of our trek within a day of our arrival to Kathmandu. The next day we were off and trekking. The company was very professional, and arranged all of the logistics for us as we had requested, without any pressure to amend our plans. We were able to relax and enjoy the experience and the beautiful Himalaya at our own pace. It was wonderful and I will definitely request their services again on my next (I'm certain) visit to Nepal.

I have been to Nepal many times and even though it is possible to arrange everything directly when you are in the country, if you want to save both time and money, I would advise to do it with the help of a local company. People from the Treeking Team are able to take care of your accomodation as well as transport, if you are planning a longer trek, they can offer you every service and help you need. I would like to thank them all and recommend their service to everyone planning his tour to Nepal.
This is ADVENTURE travel, and many of the trip destinations in this site are remote areas, within under developed countries, where events are less predictable than is usually the case in. The unexpected is the norm in these areas and, despite painstaking planning and organization, our adventure trips can never be taken for granted like regular trips. Many of the places that we visit do not have the same quality of emergency health and safety services that you are used to in the developed world. Internal flights can be canceled, road transport is generally uncomfortable and unreliable, and hotels often do not approach the standards of the West.
IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THIS, YOU SHOULD NOT TRAVEL WITH US. This unpredictability also means that the itineraries that we put forward for each of our trips should be seen as statements of intent, rather than as contractual obligations. A variety of factors, including weather, transport difficulties and political instability, might dictate that we change any itinerary. The trip leader will make any changes that are necessary, after consultation with the group. Only rarely will such changes be significant, and we will always do everything within our powers to minimize the effects of the enforced changes. We cannot be held responsible for the results of changes or delays, irrespective of how they are caused.
