What an unbelievable experience! Once again, Active Adventures does an amazing job with their adventures. This experience was more than words can express because of our guide-Sudeep and our porter Kadir. Sudeep has the passion, knowledge, commitment and truly the love of the mountains to make sure his clients experience the best of the best of his beautiful country. Along with Sudeep, Kadir greeted us each day with a smiling warm good morning. I was very humbled that Sudeep and Kadir called me ama, which means mom in Nepalese.
We were family for 14 days and the memories will last a lifetime!
Everyday they made sure we were taken care of - We truly had a remarkable time! Nepal has a special place in our hearts -
We look forward to going back to Nepal when Mustang opens up! Dhanyabad

I would love to thank you for an incredible experience - I found the trip challenging but very much appreciated the Active Team's support along the way. They could not have been more helpful! We were given first hand experience of the Nepalese culture - something I will always value.

The Annapurna Sanctuary Trek (AST) was a wonderful melange of sights, sounds and serendipitous moments. From the brilliant color and clamor of Kathmandu, to the crisp, clear morning at Machapuchare Base Camp, our trekking experience was unique and memorable. Our group was an interesting combination of people from across the globe, and as we hiked, we learned about our fellow trekkers, our guides, and about the lives of the Nepalese people, literally passing their doorsteps in the picturesque mountain villages. The AST is full of surprises. It was challenging, it was fun, and it was very gratifying.

Thanks to group leaders, Dan and Arjun, I was able to complete this sensational journey with pride and dignity. The hiking was difficult for this 75 year old, but it was also exhilarating to trek so close to the powerful and magnificent peaks. Enjoyed the consistently good and satisfying meals and congenial company of the group.

The Annapurna Sanctuary Trek was absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed getting up early every morning and going outside the Tea house for the most exceptional views in the peace, quiet and serenity of the early day. As the upper peaks of the Himalayas slowly reveal themselves along this Trek, I was always in awe that I was going to walk to that place and experience it in full.

Thoroughly enjoyed this adventure of a lifetime. We had always wanted to trek the foothills of the Himalays and immerse into the Nepalese culture. All of this happened and more. Totally taken by surprise at the amount of hiking (up down thousands of stairs) necessary to be at the base of these majestic giants, but if you want to touch them you have to hike six days to get there; making this hiking achievement the most difficult we have yet experienced. "All of the familiar signposts are not there"...making the reality of having truly been on an adventure so real and so never happened before. All of this was the result of an extremely qualified God given truly gifted leader, D.K., followed by the best people I have known Arjun, Bahrat, and the six other porters that teach lessons in life on humility, love, and perseverance. To the inn keepers at tea houses, how wonderful, fresh, wholesome the food prepared was...they make the best French fries. The rest will live in my head and the views of Annapurna 1,2,3, South; Machhapuchhare, Hiunchuli--great times with fellow hikers (now friends)...I'll take them all to the next world.

This trip was spectacular in every way -- challenging trekking amid the jaw-dropping magnificence of the high peaks, exposure to the warm and gracious Nepali people and culture, expert leadership and strong comraderie of the group. Simply said, an A++ experience.
