My recent Annapurna Circuit Trek via Poon hill with my son and daughter was absolutely beautiful, thanks to Happyland Treks and our fantastic guide. Our guide was a true professional. He was always there to be sure we were safe and comfortable. I needed help often since at this time of year it was very icy but thanks to him I never had a problem. Having him with us was very reassuring because I really felt that he would be able to handle any problem should it arise. His knowledge of the mountains, kindness, and fun spirit made each day special. He even taught us a fun Nepalese card game that we all played together at night.
Indescribably Beautiful
To quote “Extreme”-More than words!!! Simply amazing, sublime trip me and one friend undertook to Nepal to do this trek in May with Happyland treks. First of all, I have to talk about the “captain” of the team, one who organized absolutely everything for us and made us feel very welcomed. He was a truly polite and gentle person to deal with, besides being very knowledgeable about the country’s history and customs. Really, my friend and I were thrilled with the whole trip as well as the service of these guys. Really, I cannot stress enough, if you plan on going to Nepal and doing any trek please go after Happyland Treks.
Annapurna Circuit Trek via Poon Hill was excellent. I visited Nepal in March and completed the 20day trek on the Annapurna region. Probably one of the best vacations I ever took! Breathtaking views of Annapurna with rhododendrons on bool. Our guide was one of the best in the business. His English was excellent, and we had very clear communication over email while making the trekking plans beforehand. He spent time with us, actually getting to know us. He has extensive knowledge of the area and a great sense of humor. We are very grateful for Happyland Treks to provide us such a fantastic guide.
