The time spent in Nepal is truly eye opening. The trek to Annapurna takes you through a progression of landscapes and genial towns. Breathtaking views!

Kim led an awesome trip. It was so nice to have great hikes each morning and then have a group that ended up feeling like family each afternoon (dhumbal!).

The ABC trek was incredible! I have a few "bucket list" trips on my list and this was one of them. These types of trips can be tough to plan and organize but the people at Active Adventures were there to answer all my questions every step of the way (thanks Miriam and Tory!). The support in Nepal was great as well--from the guides, to the porters, to the drivers, to the tea houses! The trekking can be strenuous at times , so I really appreciated the teamwork that made the experience seamless and memorable.

Nepal was everything I expected and then a whole lot more. Yes, the mountains were huge, the colours vibrant and the trekking sublime. But also, the local Nepali people were beautiful, friendly and generous. Nepal is one of the poorest nations on earth, but you wouldn't know it when you sit down and have a masala tea with the porters and the tea house staff. Their nature is to treat you as a welcomed guest and when you make a little effort to learn their language and interact, it makes the whole experience so much richer. The best part about travelling with Active is that they have developed an amazing model where a western (usually Kiwi) trip leader works alongside a Nepali guide and team of porters - this balance works so well to bridge the cultural gap and educate us (the guests) on a deeper level. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

This trip exceeded all my expectations - guides, the scenery, the difficulty, the camaraderie, the people and the pure awe of the Himalayans. Nepal is a poor country that is rich in tradition, humanity and pure beauty. The Nepalese are so very generous and showed their kindness every day. The guides and porters made sure everyone had the best experience. They were always supportive, engaging and encouraging. This was definitely an once in a lifetime experience I will never forget.

Our Active Adventures Himalayas trip was close to indescribable. The mountains, the people, the food - everything about Nepal was beyond what we imagined and the Active Adventures guides and porter team were the icing on the cake, looking after us in every possible way from the moment we arrived to when we departed again 2 weeks later.

The trip exceeded my expectations in every way. The Annapurna region provides the stunning scenery with its towering peaks and deep valleys but it was our guides Dan and Arjun who really made the trek a superlative experience. Of course, they efficiently handled the “nuts & bolts” of the tour — the rooms, the meals, the flights, transport, and all the little things that ensured an enjoyable and worry-free tour. But it was their enthusiasm to share Nepalese culture with us that really made the whole tour exceptional. I had experiences and interactions with the local people that I would have NEVER otherwise had on my own. Overall, a top-notch experience that I will never forget!
