Great experience !!
16th October, 2022
My mom and I booked the Langtang trek with Dilip Karki as our guide. He was caring and thoughtful about our security and the success of our journey. Every home stay and restaurant he chose was clean and food was always good. We would recommend booking through Annapurna Encounter and even more having Dilip as a guide.

Great 8 day trek in Langtang Valley
26th September, 2023
Our trek with Annapurna Encounters was incredible! They helped organise our 8 day trek in Langtang valley with very short notice. Our guide Norbu Lama was super friendly, kind and made our trek so enjoyable. We are new to trekking so it was reassuring to have Norbu guide us in the mountains. Great company and would recommend them for trekking in Nepal!

A trek to Remember
17th October, 2024
My girlfriend and I recently completed a seven-day trek through the Himalayas in the Langtang Valley with Annapurna Encounter, and it was an incredible experience. The trek was stress-free and well-organised from start to finish. Our guide Ramesh was exceptional. His extensive knowledge of the region and its culture made our journey even more enriching. He was not only an expert in navigating the trails but also a fantastic motivator, helping us reach an impressive altitude of 4,773 meters as we summited Kyanjin Ri. His enthusiasm and passion for the mountains were contagious, making each day memorable. I highly recommend Annapurna Encounter for anyone looking to explore this beautiful area!

It's been a great adventure
24th December, 2024
Had a great experience along the langtang trek in late December. Me and my guide Lama trekked through the beautiful surroundings all the way to Kiangjin Ri. Lama is very friendly and does everything in his power to make me feel comfortable. He has great respect and enthusiasm towards nature and has an adventurous spirit!
Definitely recommend this company and Lama as a guide! =)
