We hust got back from 12 days trek from Annapurna Base Camp and it was hard work but amzing. After Meeting Basu we decided  on his recommendation to do the Annapurna Base Camp trek. We were looking for the somethings more remote, which is exactly what we found at Annapurna region on our trek. The charming village at Ghandruk, Sunrise from Poon hill, peaceful surrounding with beautiful nature and the stand face to face with Mt. Annapurna are highlights of this trek. From the first minutes to the last we enjoyed our story in Nepal and Basu made it possible for us. We heartily recommemd this Adventure Himalaya Circuit travel agency to everyone in Nepal.

私たちは日本のトレッキング愛好家グループなので、ヒマラヤトレッキングのためにネパールに行くことにしました。ネパールでは初めてでしたが、カトマンズでの初日、プラカシュさんに会い、私たちの計画や行きたい場所について素晴らしい話し合いをしました。それから私たちはアンナプルナベースキャンプで10日間のトレッキングに行きました。私たちが旅行を計画するために彼らに信頼を置いた地域についてあまり知らなかったので、私たちは失望しませんでした。素晴らしい、たくさんの美しい山々と天気が完璧だった10日間、私は心からお勧めします!私は彼らを訪ねるためだけにネパールに戻ってきます。
