Unforgettable Trek with Outstanding Support – Highly Recommended!
I had an absolutely incredible trekking experience with Great Adventure Treks. Every detail was covered top to bottom, making the journey seamless and completely stress-free. My guide, Aitey, and my porter, Denis, were exceptional. Some sections of the trek were challenging and even a little scary for me, but they were with me every step of the way, offering guidance, encouragement, and expert care. I felt completely safe and supported throughout the entire journey. The company always made sure I had the best rooms and transportation, which was greatly appreciated and added to the comfort of the trip. I cannot overstate how fantastic it was that the manager, Mani, helped me with my last-minute Indian visa. Without his assistance, I would have been in a very difficult situation - potentially losing time, money, and facing a lot of stress. His quick, effective help saved me both stress and costs and ensured I could continue my journey smoothly. Mani’s responsiveness and dedication went far beyond what I expected. Everyone part of this company is extremely friendly and personable which always adds to the experience. I can say without hesitation: this was the best trekking experience I’ve ever had, and I would 100% recommend Great Adventure Treks to anyone planning a trek in Nepal.
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
