Thank you very much for your overwhelming review. We are happy that you loved your trekking in Nepal. We hope that you will give us opportunities to make your future trips successful as well. We are always at your service, to make your stay enjoyable and memorable one. Feedback such as yours is therefore much appreciated. Greetings, Ngima and Annapurna Foothills Team.

Ngima, Tashi and co. provided us with a great experience touring around their country and made sure we were well taken care of along the way. They provided us with knowledgeable guides for each of our destinations who went out of their way to ensure that we were getting the most out of our vacation

It was a great adventure to climb Island Peak with Annapurna Foothills Treks & Expedition. It was really well organised. We met our awesome guide (Ngawa Sherpa) in Chukung and next day went to base camp. Then, we had training day with short trip to high camp and back. Ngawa prepared us also to use fixed ropes. During the summit day we felt always safe. Ngawa was really professional, open and friendly guide. I strongly recommend climbing Island Peak with Annapurna Foothills.

My wife and I and a friend recently did the Annapurna Circuit and Annapurna Sanctuary treks with Annapurna Foothills Treks and Expedition Pvt. Ltd. It was fantastic. The level of organization and effort that Ngima, Tashi and the rest of the personnel at Annapurna Foothills Treks put into making our trek the best possible was unbelievable. From our first contact and throughout our entire 24 days in Nepal, it was clear that we were in the hands of experienced and caring people. We are hoping to do another trek next year and we will definitely hire Annapurna Foothills Treks again.

We had a fantastic 22 day trek of the Annapurna Circuit and up to Annapurna Base Camp. Annapurna Foothills Treks took care of us very well from beginning to end. Owner Ngima was very responsive to our initial email requests for information and continued to answer all our questions once the trip was booked. Once trekking, our guide Tashi was a gem: professional and knowledgeable. He took great care of us and very important to us was flexible in rearranging our itinerary on the go to meet our interests. And at the end, we were well taken care of all the way to our flight home. We are considering another trek in Nepal and will definitely book it with Annapurna Foothills Treks - no question about that. Thank you again, Ngima and Tashi for a fabulous trek.

Since the arrival on Kathmandu airport, this company arranged every of our needs. They are really a problem solving company and we did only had to think about fun.Our Guide "Dawa" was amazing not only as an experienced guide, as well we did much appreciate how he was working hard to get us the best room in every guesthouse, often the only room with bathroom available on town was for us thanks to Dawa. The agent (boss) based in Kathmandu Ngima, was booking tickets, solving issues and making our life easy. The price was reasonable and the service was five stars.Visited October 2016

In October I hiked the Annapurna circuit trek incl Tilicho Lake. We hired a guide by Annapurna Foothills, a local Nepalese trekking company. From the first contact via email all went perfect. Ngima, the owner, is one of the nicest people who I met in my life so far. He organized also some domestic flights for me as well. In total I'm happy and satisfied to have chosen this great agency. I can recommend this company without any doubts. If you would like to have an amazing hiking trip so get in contact with Annapurna Foothills!!!!Visited October 2016

When you want to go on a trekking trip to Nepal there is a host of international and local Nepalese companies offering their services. It can be quite bewildering which one to choose, actually. A way to decide which company and which trek you should decide on is of course to compare web sites and, even more important, to read other travellers' reviews.Annapurna Foothills Treks have a very professional and inviting web site with loads of valuable information. On top of that this company gets only the best of reviews. We decided to try and send an email to Annapurna Foothills Treks to enquire about a trek to Upper Mustang to take place in July 2016. This review hopefully explains why we made the right decision to go along with this company. Prior to our arrival we had a very good communication with the company's managing director Ngima. Ngima was very responsive to all our emails and questions regarding everything related to our trip, and Ngima even had suggestions to slightly alter and further tailor-make the itinerary to accommodate our interests.Arriving in Kathmandu we were met by the company's representative, the very friendly and knowledgeable Tashi.We were not in the best of moods, however, as half of our luggage had somehow got stuck in Istanbul where we had our connecting flight to Kathmandu; the lost luggage included half of our trekking gear, of course. That made it impossible for us to go on our trekking tour that was due to start two days later. Again Ngima and Tashi were extremely helpful in calling airport and airlines representatives for us to enquire as to the whereabouts of our stuff. They also drove us back and forth to the airport the next couple of days when news were that our luggage should be "on the next plane", all in vain though. Our 10 days permit to Upper Mustang had previously agreed and fixed dates so Tashi and Ngima had the bother to constantly renegotiate the dates on the trekking itinerary on top of rebooking and pushing our domestic flights. As a military coup suddenly happened in Turkey we thought that we might never see our trekking gear again. So we had to make the decision to buy all the missing stuff in Kathmandu. Ngima was again very patient as he drove us around the various outdoor stores in Kathmandu and helped us replenish our gear list, giving us valuable recommendations along the way. We didn't have to buy or rent new sleeping bags as Ngima lent us two professional sleeping bags for free. Those sleeping bags proved very valuable keeping the cold mountain nights at up to 3800m at bay.The trip to Upper Mustang was also amazing. The mountain scenery was nothing short of spectacular and we enjoyed our walks at altitudes going up to and sometimes beyond 4000m. It was easy to see that trekking groups from other companies were also assisted by some skilful and knowledgeable guides. But it was also clear for us that no group had a guide in the same league as ours. Our guide Dawa was a true expert, experienced and a treasure chest of information on the mountains, nature and the local culture. Dawa was very good at reading our stamina and fitness level and knew when small breaks were due. Besides his mountain competence, and equally important, Dawa had a wonderful sense of humour. We had many a good laugh on the trek. It can sometimes be challenging to spend 12 days in very close company of people you don't know that well. But we never felt like that with Dawa and our porter Minbadhu. They were both very gentle characters and it was also nice to see how well they got along with the local Mustang people we met on our way. The trekking tour we had bought did not guarantee ensuite bathrooms. But Dawa always tried to find a guest house where we could have a hot shower in a bathroom of our own. We were always happy when we got lucky there. We always felt in really safe hands with Dawa, yes, a bit pampered actually.One day Dawa got a text message from Ngima back in Kathmandu with photos of our lost luggage that Ngima had picked up for us at the airport when it eventually turned up. Due to the delayed start to our trekking tour plus some later weather-related delays while on the trek we had to cancel some of the hotel reservations we had made for the last week in Nepal, after finishing our trek. These were reservations we had made ourselves beforehand, i.e. not through Annapurna Foothills Trek. But even here our friends at the trekking company were helpful beyond their duty. In order to make use of the "free cancellation" through booking.com we would have to cancel while we were still in Upper Mustang. As there was no internet connection in the area the only thing for us to do to save us losing money was to send a text message with our login and password to Ngima back in Kathmandu. Ngima logged in for us and made the cancellations, saving us a lot of money. You should normally never share your login and password with anybody! But this example just shows how much we trusted Ngima, a trust that was warranted.When we came back to Kathmandu Ngima invited us home to dinner to meet his family. Tashi was also there and we got to meet Ngimas lovely wife Tenzin and their aunt and children. They were all really eager to hear about our experiences on the trek and this was a very nice way to end an eventful trip and say goodbye for now.As should be clear from this review, we are very grateful to Annapurna Foothills Trek for making our trip to Nepal an amazing one, full of good and warm memories. Ngima and his employees all went above and beyond to make our stay in Nepal a pleasant one. If you plan to visit Nepal, check in on Annapurna Foothills Trek's very informative web site and send them an email - you won't regret it!Louise and Anders,Copenhagen, DenmarkVisited July 2016
