Organizing the trek With Mr. Naba in Kathmandu with easy, honest and with no pressure. We booked a guide through him for the Annapurna Circuit for our family, including our two daughters 11 and 13. Mr Naba was also accessible if needed while on the Trail.
Our guide Prakash was very kind, patient and professional. We enjoyed our time on the trail with him and felt safe with his guidance. He seemed to have many connections in different villages as he is a loyal guide who returns to the same teahouses and restaurants.
Accommodation: always figured out in advance and good choice of teahouses.
Service: always helped with ordering and serving food and communicating things to hotel owners. Have good reminders to order food in advance so we didn’t have to wait.
On the trail: if we needed extra support like horses or porters, Prakash was very good at organizing.
Safety came first and was willing to take time to acclimatize when we needed or wanted to. Suggested we take an extra day in Pisang because of headaches.
Took initiative when our daughter was cold and sick by finding warm water, tea etc .
Helped carry our sick daughter on his back for a bit when she felt sick at the pass.
Informed us of what mountains we were looking at on the trail.
Took us to see hot springs in Chame and different sites on acclimatization days. Green lake, glacier view hike etc.
Prakash did a good good job. He speaks English which helped us organize our trek.
