      ABC trek organized by welcome Nepal treks

      Overall experience was superb! My guide Mohan explained everything we needed to know about the hike, all the trekking routes, details and viewpoints. It was a memorable trekking trip. Most of the tea houses were basic but are clean and had best view. I had amazing days during the trip. I will remember those days and moments forever.

      Welcome Nepal treks did a fantastic job and went beyond and above to make my trip comfortable and memorable. Our trip was filled with joy. I will recommend everyone to do Annapurna base camp trek in Nepal.
