Fantastic 23 days Trek - Annapurna Circuit and Nar Phu Valley

We did a 23 days hike with Trekking Team Group in October 2018.
We were 100% satisfied with the overall experience of the trek. Everything was neatly organized. Communication beforehand was very quick efficient and in a timely manner. Upon arrival in Kathmandu we were carefully taken care of every single day. First by the agency (sightseeing/ evening dinner in Kathmandu) and later by our fantastic, very knowledgeable and experienced guide and porter. We booked a group trek but since no other people signed up for the same itinerary the trek was carried out as private trek without additional cost.
I am glad to have chosen TTG as operator and would recommend undoubtedly to everyone that plans to go trekking in Nepal.

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!

I have had a wonderful experience with Trekking Team Group.The care and attention given to everyone was 'over the top', and the pricing was extremely reasonable. Additionally I participated in a 10 person 22 day camping supported trek to Nar, Phu and Tilicho Lake areas. The scenery was stunning, the leadership and support was way beyond expectations, the value was tremendous, and the overall experience was completely off the scale! The area we trekked in had such a variety of landscapes, cultures and natural beauty that each day was exciting and new. Hats off to Goku, Arjun, and all the other TTG staff. Experience could not have been better.
