Vincent & Ming

We found our guide and porter to be extremely helpful and accommodating. Because our mother is 61, we took two extra days to complete the trek (recommended). We enjoyed having a knowledgeable guide to help us stay where it made sense. We are all Jain vegetarians, but our dietary needs are always met by delicious food. Regarding the trek itself, Annapurna and Dhaulagiri are two of the world’s treasures, and we will be returning to the Himalayas again. Since the guiding company handled all logistics, we just had to show up in Kathmandu and hold on for the ride. A guide isn’t essential if you’re a logistics expert and a capable trekker and navigator, but for us, it was well worth it. Nepal is an amazing country!
