Reviews summaryThank you, THRILL HIMALAYA, for arranging our 5-day, 4-night ABC trek with Tilak as our guide. The company was incredibly responsible even before our departure, providing detailed and prompt responses to our inquiries and regularly reminding us about necessary equipment. This made us feel very reassured before we even left. The day before our departure, the guide met us at our hotel and provided us with duffel bags in advance. From day one, we were so grateful for our guide Tilak's leadership. We had no prior mountaineering experience and our physical stamina was relatively low, but the guide patiently accompanied us at our own pace, never rushing us, even when we walked slowly. Although the journey was challenging, there was no pressure, and we are very thankful to the guide and porters for helping us complete the entire trip. Even though we walked slowly, sometimes until dark, they never complained and ensured we reached the teahouses safely. The teahouse environments and food each night were excellent, and we even had a perfect night at the ABC teahouse. Throughout the entire process, we were grateful for their dedication and assistance; they went above and beyond their job duties, providing immense security and encouragement. They also tried their best to meet our needs; out of the four nights, we only had to share a room for one night, which improved the quality of our rest. We were so fortunate to choose THRILL HIMALAYA to help us complete this trek. While the scenery was beautiful, I believe I might have given up halfway without THRILL HIMALAYA's assistance and arrangements. Two days after completing the trek, they even delivered our certificates to the hotel. Everything was perfectly executed, and the arrangements truly exceeded our expectations. Thank you all! If we ever trek in Nepal again, we will only choose you! Thank you, guide Tilak, thank you, baby porter. THRILL HIMALAYA TREKS team is the best!!
I wish I could give more than a 5-star rating for Thrill Himalaya, as they truly exceeded all expectations. From the start, Mr. Pravin was organized and proactive, helping with every concern, even beyond their usual service. During the trek, both Mr. Pravin and our guide, Mr. Ram, maintained open communication and kept us informed. Mr. Ram was exceptionally patient with my slower pace, sharing valuable trekking tips that made the journey easier, and their frequent check-ins made us feel genuinely cared for. Ishwur, our amazing porter, not only took great care of our belongings but also served us during meal times and ran errands when needed. Adjusting the itinerary to match our pace without compromising our goal to reach ABC was incredibly beneficial. This Thrill Himalaya team is truly outstanding, and I highly recommend them for an unforgettable trekking experience!
Thank you Pravin, the tour guide of Thrill Himalaya. He led us to the Annapurna Camp (ABC). Although the weather was not ideal during this 7-day hiking trip, it rained from time to time, there was more water in the mountain stream than usual, and the mountaineering route was more difficult than expected. But instead of asking about our physical condition and paying attention to our needs, with his leadership and arrangements, all five of us teammates felt safe, trusted each other, and had a good mountain climbing experience. When we arrived at ABC, we even saw the beautiful Snow Mountain Fish Tail. Peak, snow-capped mountains and starry sky at night, this scenery makes everyone forget the tiring journey. It is really a wonderful and beautiful memory. Next time I plan to climb Mount Everest Camp (EBC) in Nepal, I will ask Thrill Himalaya to lead the team. Thank you to the tour guide Pravin and the two porters. .
It was an absolutely unforgettable experience trekking to Annapurna Base Camp! I had meticulously planned this trip with my parents, both in their 60s and 70s. The itinerary was exceptionally well-crafted, striking the perfect balance between distance and climbing. We were able to reach the tea houses comfortably around 4 pm every day, sometimes even earlier. Although my mom found the second day quite challenging, our guide Pravin provided unwavering encouragement and support throughout the journey. Thanks to his guidance, she triumphantly reached ABC! I must also express my heartfelt gratitude to our porter, Bashu (pronounced 'Bah-shoo'). His immense patience and willingness to wait for us during difficult sections were truly commendable. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend this trip to anyone seeking a manageable level of difficulty while immersing themselves in the awe-inspiring beauty of nature!
It was my first time trekking in Nepal so I am getting really worried. But the staff and the guide are really supportive and knowledgeable to answer my questions even before the trip. As a solo traveler, there is no porter going with me but the guide is willing to help me with my bags. Without them, I would not have completed the trekking. The weather becomes sunny upon reaching the base camp and the scenery is breathtaking.
I spend 7 amazing days during trekked, saw beautiful Annapurna mountain range, and the guide Ram are helpful, he also explained a lot of things about nepal.
our guide Gokarna was super helpful and friendly. he even helped with fixing our shoes when our hiking mate had the shoe sole falling off. 10/10 would recommend going with this agency if you are looking to start on your ABC journey! our porters were awesome too and really amazing.
Pravin was very accomadting to our needs providing execellent service and ensuring our trip is a fun one. Our guide, Ram, and porter, Basum, also were very helpful during our 7 days hike and ensured all our needs like food, shelter and even safety were met. glad to have crossed path with them. Thank you!
Pravin is very responsive and the guide Gokarna being very insightful and helpful toward my group! great trip and very enjoyable!
They have a really nice guide! He provides anything we need at the mountain, also provides us the certificate. Best tour and travel!
Good to know
Planning your 5-day Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) short trek? Here are essential practical tips and safety advice to ensure a smooth Nepal trekking experience:
Layering & Weather: Himalayan weather changes rapidly. Pack breathable moisture-wicking base layers, an insulating down jacket, and a windproof/waterproof outer shell for high-altitude comfort.
Hydration & Acclimatization: Stay hydrated with 3–4 liters of water daily to prevent altitude sickness (AMS). Bring reusable water bottles and water purification tablets or drops.
Cash & Daily Essentials: ATM access ends at Pokhara. Bring sufficient local cash (NPR) to pay for device charging, Wi-Fi, hot teahouse showers, and trail snacks.
Footwear & Trekking Poles: Break in your waterproof hiking boots before starting. Trekking poles are highly recommended to protect your knees on steep mountain stone staircases.
Flexible Departures & Same-Day Return: Convenient pickup and transfer options are available starting from Pokhara or Kathmandu, returning seamlessly on Day 5 via private 4WD Jeep.
