Wonderful experience in Nepal.
I did Annapurna Circuit with 9 friends in April 2019 and it was amazing. The landscapes are breathtaking, the weather was perfect and our guide Mr. Nick and the four porters Ram, Hari, Pabin, and Shiva were always ready to help us with everything we need. I would like to thank all of them in this way. I send you a big hug from Australia and all my friendship. I can not wait to meet you guys again. For sure we will come back to Nepal and we want Nick to be our guide again. Thank you Overland Trek Nepal Team for everything!
