超棒！it’s amazing
今天四月跟朋友們，共8個女生一起來爬ACT，雖然我們的體力算沒有很好，但過程嚮導 Sudam👍🏻、還有Sunil 一直很專業的照顧我們，幫我們注意任何突發狀況，提醒我們要穿保暖等，好貼心，尤其Sudam全程都保持都專業。 以及還好有四位Poter：Saroj1 、Saroj 2、Syam 、Mangal親切又專業的協助，才讓我們在這趟旅程中留下令人難忘的回憶！真的很謝謝他們 大推～～ This April, eight of us girls came to hike the ACT together. Although our fitness level wasn’t the best, our guides—Sudam 👍🏻 and Sunil—took great care of us throughout the journey. They were always attentive to any unexpected situations and constantly reminded us to stay warm. They were incredibly thoughtful, and Sudam, in particular, maintained a high level of professionalism from start to finish. We’re also very grateful for our four porters—Saroj 1, Saroj 2, Syam, and Mangal—whose kindness and professionalism made everything so much easier. Thanks to all of them, we were able to create such unforgettable memories on this trip. We truly appreciate everything they did for us—highly recommended!! 👍🏻
World heritage tour
We are group of five people book tour with The Great Adventure. We visited swyambhu ath, patan, pasupati, Bouddhanath. Kathmandu Daurbar square. nepal is rich for culture and world heritage site, our guide was very informative and we had great time.
Best trip in my life
my family is Reccomanded by our friends who did tour with this company. we are lucky get Nissan as our guide for our trip. driver Ram also very best and skillful . we alwaysfell safe abd happy during trip. we Reccomandanymore to this company.
One of the best treks of my life! My guide, Binod, is so sweet and passionate about his job and knows everything. Without him this would’ve been such a different experience, because he always makes sure you’re happy and comfortable. The organisation was also perfect so I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Perfect👌
I recently completed the Ghorepani – Poon Hill – Tadapani – Ghandruk trek (3–4 days), and it was an unforgettable experience in the Annapurna region. The landscapes were incredibly diverse—lush forests, peaceful mountain trails, and beautiful villages—ending with the charming atmosphere of Ghandruk. The highlight was definitely the sunrise at Poon Hill, with stunning panoramic views of the Himalayan ranges. A big part of what made the trek so smooth and enjoyable was our guide, Mr. Binod, our Porter Mr. Tubonat and Mr. Chandra. He was professional, friendly, and very attentive—always managing the pace well, checking on our condition, and making sure everything was organized along the way (tea houses, breaks, and route guidance). His support and calm attitude made the journey feel safe and comfortable from start to finish. I highly recommend Mr. Binod if you’re looking for a well-guided, stress-free trekking experience in Nepal and tour The Great Advanture.
What an amazing experience i had with the great adventure team. We went to ghorepani and poonhill trek. The view was magnificent and breathtaking. The hotel and accomodation were really good and comfy. The porter waa really helpfull. Couldn’t wait for next trip with great adventure trip
