      Truly a life changing experience

      Jan 2025 • Solo

      Traveled to Nepal alone to trek to the Annapurna Base Camp with the company Access Nepal Tours. I truly can recommend this agency as everything was excellent organized from collection at the Airport in Kathmandu, Pohkara, Nepalgunj and back. Changes were not a problem, Sadhana replied and changed immediately as required. Trip was 100% perfectly organized, stressless and very safe. Suboth my guide was fantastic, very helpful, patient, experienced and respectful. Also Sudeep was very helpful and respectful. At the end I spent 4 days at Bardia National Park were I saw a tiger and 2 leopards. Also overthere everything was well organized by Sadhana. Overall thanks Sadhana, Suboth and Sudeep for making my dream come true. I would strongly recommend Access Nepal Tours.
