Namaste!
This with a great pleasure that we write these few comments concerning our stay in Nepal organized by the ‘Adventure Travellers Club’. By no means these few sentences can cover the wealth of experience and impressions that we are taking back home and will carry in our memories forever. First, the legendary friendliness of Nepalese people, from guide to passerby, is truly exceptional. We’ve felt safe & welcome wherever we went. Next, the beauty of the country and it’s people is unique & wonderful.

Finally, the professionalism, kindness & friendship demonstrated by the staff of the ATC have been remarkable and we 2 would definitely recommend this company to anyone visiting Nepal in the future.

Special compliments to Mr. Ramesh Duwadi – our guide, for his professional, good natured & friendly manners, great knowledge & skills, endurance, wit & sense of humor. It was a fine pleasure hiking with him to the EBC for good & bad weather. Mr. Prakash Sapkota has been very patient with us during months of e-mails correspondence about details of this trip and has met all our requests.

Thank you very much.

We completed the Annapurna Circuit and the Sanctuary Trail to the Annapurna Base Camp, as well as 3 days of White Water Rafting, and Sght-seeing in Kathmandu & Pokhara. Our trekking guide ‘Govinda’ and porters ‘Sitaram’ did everything they could to make our trip a pleasure and helped with some adjustments to the itinerary.

Their friendliness was exemplary. In fact, the some qualities also apply to our guide in Pokhara and on the river, Bharat to Ramesh, who guided us in Kathmandu at the beginning and at the end of our
vacation.

As a result of our satisfaction, we are planning the Everest Base Camp Trek in the next couple of years. We had a great time, and Ramesh was very patient while I shopped for ‘Kurta Salwar’. We loved our trip and are sad to leave.

Thanks for treating us good.
The trip was great, totally kicked my butt but totally worth it. You guys were great and
completely made the trip worthwhile.

Namaste!

Dear Bharat,

It’s long time ago since we came back home but…here it goes our comments so you can put it in your “testimonials” section if you want:

• Amazing trek for 2 weeks. Best trekking experience ever. Nothing stays the same after this trip.
  
• Everything was very easy with ATC, since the very beginning when we started to plan the trek til the end of the trip.
  
• Any inconvenience or change in original plans were gently and efficiently solved by our guide Kabi, a very charm and professional guy.
  
• The house guests were among the best possible in every town we stayed in. Food was better than expected. Being under ATC hands was a quality guarantee for us.

Overall, the trip was outstanding.

We also send to you some pictures for you to consider. Could you please send to us Kabi’s and Arjun’s emails (we have lost them) to send the Thorung La pict.

Kind regards, many thanks and we wish you a very happy 2010 !!

Namaste!

Thank you for an unforgettable trip and a wonderful experience in Tibet & Nepal.
The scenery was spectacular, especially the rafting and the drive through Himalayas. I have thoroughly myself.

Dear Prakash
I just wanted to email you to tell you how much we enjoyed our annapurna circuit trip. We booked at the last minute and we couldnt have been happier with the service

adventure travellers club provided for myself and my two friends from the pick up at the airport to the endless great service for the following three weeks.our guide, dendi sherpa was amazing. he looked after every need we had and was extremely entertaining and enjoyable to travel with. i would and have highly recommended your company to everyone i meet. i could not fault the company or the trip in any way, it was perfect. I have now the fondest memories of Nepal and it was all down to the work of your guides and porters.

Many Thanks,

Dear Adventure Travellers Club,
Just a quick note to say that our Nepal Trip was an absolutely incredible. Well organized & the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.
We were very pleased with the our guide and management team, we couldn’t have wished for better.

Such a nice trip!

Dear Bharat,

Thank you so much for the 10 days Nepal tour. It was an unforgetable experience and your company made it very enjoyable for my group. Our guides were fantastic and everything went smoothly. The jungle safari was absolutly amazing.

Thank you again for giving us this amazing journey and we will see again next year.

Regards,

Hi ATC

I had an unforgettable and amazing trek with my great guide, Mr. Deepak Nepal the views of the Himalaya were breathtaking and I would love to return to Nepal again to see more of this beautiful country.

Namaste!
We had the most wonderful experience in Nepal with ‘Adventure Travellers Club’ particularly with Ramesh and Sadhu Ram who gave us a good insight into Kathmandu & Nagarkot. The mountains were spectacular! We will most certainly come again to Nepal many many more times and get in touch with you.

Thank you for your company, guide & service.

Best regards,

To Prakash & ‘Adventure Travellers Club’

To me, honestly speaking, first time experience in Nepal trekking and it was the best experience I ever had in my trip. Best coordination on the part of Adventure Travellers Management/staff, very helpful & dedicated & professional in dealing, guide was very good in his services, esp. during trip, coordination, explaining historical places etc.

Thank you for your best services & dedication.

Best Regards,

Namaste!
Thank you all at ‘Adventure Travellers Club’ for organizing a fantastic experience second to none. A particular big thanks to our guide, ‘Govinda’ and porter, ‘Ram’, who were always helpful, informative but most of all, entertaining! The 4 day ‘Ghandruk Valley Trek’ was unforgettable and I will certainly consider coming again, perhaps & trek ‘Annapurna Base Camp’.

To Prakash, Ramesh, Bharat & the Team,

My family and I received excellent service of your company. We started our 4 day tour from Lumbini. This is our first visit to Nepal. It is nice to have friendly and well mannered professional team especially someone is in a foreign land. We thoroughly enjoyed your company and the way you put every effort to show wonderful places in your beautiful country.

Best wishes for your future.

Thank you very much & kind regards,

I did the ‘Annapurna Circuit’ in November of 2008, for me that was the perfect time of year to go. At that time, there aren’t as many trekkers and the weather was perfect. I would say to someone that is considering doing the circuit or trek around the region, “Go for it, you won’t regret it”.  An amazing life experience.

Yesterday, I returned to Kathmandu from Pokhara after having completed the ‘Ghorepani Trekking’. It was a great experience, from the moment of arrival at the airport (and pick-up from the airport) to now (6 AM when I’m about to leave for the airport). The welcome was warm, the people ever more so, the service very professional and the views of the mountains unforgettable. I honor all who helped me experience this! Certainly, I will be back in the near future!

To: Prakash, Ramesh & the team at ‘Adventure Travellers Club’.

Thank you so much for your dedicated and professional service! Our trip ran smoothly, thanks to your staff, and the wonderful porter you arranged for us. We had a spectacular visit to Muktinath, clear weather, great food, and of course the overwhelming hospitality of Nepalese people. Especially, appreciated all your help with our tickets, visas, trekking permits etc.

Very best wishes to you & I hope your business flourishes.

Namaste!
Thank you very much for such a lovely time. We had such an excellent break to ‘Ra Ra Lake’.  Total paradise! Look forward to coming again.

All the best,

Namaste!
Thank you for very much for an excellent time. Our trip to ‘Ra Ra Lake’ was organized perfectly. Everyone was very friendly & great to be with. Hopefully we will see you all again next year for Phoksundo Lake.

All the best and thank you once again.

Namaste Ramesh & Bharat,
Thanks so much….great trip! Amazing scenery, loved the culture. Am a ‘Dal Bhat’ pro now. Thanks to Deepak & Deepak for a safe fun trip.

Cheers,

Namaste!
We thoroughly enjoyed our trek with ‘Adventure Travellers Club’. At the planning stage, they were very flexible in terms of routes on offer and very competitive on costs. It was a very well organized trip and our guide provided an extremely comprehensive service and his attentiveness was overwhelming.

We will certainly be making a return visit to Nepal in hopefully the not too distant future!

Namaste!
We have had a wonderful week of sightseeing in Nepal whilst our eldest daughter is trekking to ‘Everest Base Camp’ with her school. Thanks to Jenny for our day in ‘Kathmandu Durbar Square’ for all the interesting information.  ‘Naniram’ & ‘Bhairam’ had the tough job of trekking with us in Pokhara as we were drenched in pouring rain from the start; the leeches took a liking to us!!

Fantastic walking to ‘Sarangkot’ (I need to be fitter for all those steep steps though!) and then the ‘World Peace Pagoda’.

Great guides: Lovely characters, helpful & informative.

Many thanks, Ramesh for helping throughout our stay, for taking us up to ‘Nagarkot’ during your ‘Dashain Festival’ (we hope you feel better soon).

Happy Dashain!!

Had a good time, great experience. GHANDRUK accommodation and staff were great, very friendly and happy.

Thanks so much

NAMASTE!!

Thank you for a wonderful trekking in the beautiful Himalayas. This will be an experience for us and we are so pleased with ‘Adventure Travellers Club’, and especially with our guide, Suraj.

Thank you,

I am very pleased we choose ‘Adventure Travellers Club’ as our organizers of our trip to Gokyo. We all feel we spent a marvelous time on the trip. Beautiful weather, beautiful mountains & good food.

And in particular, an excellent guide in ever aspect.

Thank you Suraj (the Trekking Guide) & thank you ATC!

We were very happy with the service provided by ‘Adventure Travellers Club’. Replies on our requests (emails) came very prompt as well.

Hi!
We had a fantastic time on the Everest Base Camp trek and were well looked after by our guide and porter. Would thoroughly recommend Adventure Travellers Club to anyone looking to trek in Nepal.

Regards,

We had really good time in Nepal, a nice and amazing trip to Gokyo Ri Chola Pass and Base Camp. The best weather, a helpful and friendly guide and porter. It was all well organized, thank you very much for the great support.
We are sad that we have to leave Nepal already. We came back.
Greets from the Swiss,

Namaste!

Every body at ATC,

This was by far the best trip I have ever taken in my life. Every single detail was perfect and very well organized. This was my first trip to Nepal and it is definitely not my last as I look forward to bring my family and friend next time I come over. I wish I had a little more time, but the last 7 days with you guys have been amazing.

Thanks to both of you for taking care of me as a member of your own family and I really appreciate it.

If you ever come to the U.S, please email me at and I will be glad to show you guys around.

Take care and best wishes,

Namaste!

We really enjoyed the trip. All was really spectacular. The view was amazing and the foods really loop. All the people were friendly and welcomed us so we really had an unforgettable time.

Thanks,

Dear Adventure Travellers Club.

I hope the information reached you that I had a spectacular time whilst in Nepal and Bhutan!  Thank you for the effort to provide me with the great service and catering I received.

Regarding feedback:  I’m an easy customer, so I have not much to report.  Ramesh is an excellent guide and companion, and although it’s difficult to compare him to the first Ramesh that accompanied me for the Gosaikunda trek, there is a gap that can only be ascribe to Ramesh’s vast experience.

Many thanks for the spectacular month I spent in  Nepal, it was nothing short of epic and an unforgettable experience, I would like to extend my gratitude to Jenny, Ramesh Duwadi and Ramesh Sapkota who accompanied me for the Lo Manthang and Gosaikunda Pass Treks and catered all my  needs and more. Everything was planned perfectly and executed better.

Many thanks to Adventure Travellers Club for  your offer on a return trip to the area.  Please do not hesitate to refer any potential customers to me.

Thank you and best regards,

Namaste Prakash,
My friend, I do not know how to thank you enough for a great time in Nepal. You have fantastic team.

Name:  Pete & Alex Gosnell (50 & 55 years old)
Trip:  Kathmandu Sightseeing– Annapurna Sanctuary Trek – Royal Chitwan National Park - Kathmandu
Overall Experience:  Excellent 5* plus

1. We were met at the airport and escorted to our hotel.
2. It was suggested to us to take the Kathmandu tour on day 2 rather than at the end of our trip. A great idea.
3. We were picked up by our guide and escorted to our tour start and handed over to another very competent and knowledgeable guide for the rest of the day. Then dropped off back at the hotel.
4. On day 3 we were introduced to our trekking guides and taken to Pokhara.
5. Once in Pokhara at yet another fine hotel we were helped by our guides to make some final purchases before the trek.
6. On our trek our 2 guides could not have been more helpful. Full marks go to them.
7. Once back in Pokhara our guides made sure that we had our tickets to Chitwan.
8. When we got back to Kathmandu from Chitwan we were met at the bus stop by an ATC rep and again escorted to our hotel.
9. On our last day we were given more advice on what to do and where to go and then finally picked up and given a very personal send off by Jenny the ATC rep/guide.

Comments:  The trek that Adventure Travellers Club organized for us was the standard across the board. It was my own acclimatization problems and gastric problems which led us to cut our trek short at Bamboo. Altitude problems have no age or fitness barriers. If you get it you get it, if not, you are lucky. The ATC organization was absolutely fantastic. One of the great things they did was to have a rep meet us and escort us to places. Getting off a bus with all your gear in Kathmandu and not knowing where to go is no fun. But it never happened to us.
     
Suggestion:  If you are thinking about doing a trip to Nepal, do it with these people. They are friendly, helpful and give you a great personal service. We had excellent communication before and after the trip. For us everything was in the price we paid them. All hotels and teahouse accommodation, all meals on the trek (whatever you wanted from the limited menu) (but not in kathmandu) (and you pay for your own coke/fanta on the trek) all transport to and from and all preplanned tours. We purified all water either bottled or tap. We took lots of just incase meds but forgot sleeping tablets which we feel we needed. If you have time in Pokhara, go paragliding, microlite flying and if you go rafting make sure you go to a LOCAL river not one 2 hours away like we did. We met lots of people and made a few friends which we are already in contact with. But always remember one thing when on your trek…………do everything as your guides say……….slowly, slowly.  Because we never got to ABC as planned we will go back to Nepal in 2009 and guess what folks……………We are going to go back with ADVENTURE TRAVELLERS CLUB. Why? BECAUSE THEY WERE SO GOOD TO US.

HI Ramesh,

Thank you very much for taking such good care of us in Annapurna. Big thanks to Bhairam for carrying Kelly’s bag. Even with the less than spectacular weather, we still really enjoyed the treks. If you find yourself in Hong Kong in the near future, please let us know, we will take you on some city green treks.

Everyone at Adventure Travellers Club was very helpful in putting together the trip and my guide was very accommodating. The entire trip was a refreshing break from the ordinary, in which it seemed anything shy of the weather could be fixed at the drop of the hat. The scenery was unlike anything I have ever seen and I look forward to my next trip in Nepal.

I have just returned from Ghorepani Trekking with ATC, my guide Bhairam was amazing and for me one of the highlights of the trip, in all of my travels he was by far the best guide I have ever had. The services on the trek where great and I had a really good chance to interact with the local people and experaince their culture. I was very impressed with the freindlyness of the people. A highlight of the trip was my summit of Poon Hill, I have an everlasting impression of Annapurna that will live with me for ever.

I highly reccomend Nepal as a top travel and trekking destination, it surly was the trip of a life time and thanks to ATC for making it happen.

Cheers,

Dear Adventure Travellers Club,

Thank you so much for the Tibet  Everest Base Camp tour. It was an unforgetable experience and your company made it very enjoyable for me. My guides were fantastic and everything went smoothly. Everest Base Camp was absolutly amazing. We camped near the base camp for the night and met some great people.

Thank you again for giving me this amazing journey.

Regards,

I had a most exhilarating trek this spring to the Mount Everest Base Camp in no small part due to the professionals at Adventure Travellers.  From a welcoming tour of Kathmandu highlights and my 1st nights lodging to the detailed info about trekking routes and tea houses, Adventure Travellers Club was a fantastic help every step of the way.  Taking 21 days to explore the Khumbu (enough for acclimatization and rest days as well as spur trails and high passes) greatly enhanced my trek. I highly recommend the Gokyo Valley as a beginning or end to an Everest Base Camp Trek.  I was also quite taken with the views from Chukkhung Ri during my side trip to the Chukkhous Valley.  Beware however, the Kong-Ma La is not for the pussy-footed, it’s quite a trip indeed!
 
I can’t think of a more exuberant destination than Nepal.  The most magnificent Mountains colorful and ancient culture, in short an experience not to delay.

Thanks again to Adventure Travellers for making this all come true.

Sincerely,

Adventure Travellers Club provided me with the once in a life time opportunity. Coming from USA to Nepal was a real eye opener for me as I have never traveled internationally before. I enjoyed top guides and stunning scenery, giving me friends and memories I will never forget in my life time. Adventure Travellers Club are a superb organization, they were fit, informative & fun!
 
I suggest to any one wondering to chase their dreams that Adventure Travellers Club won't disappoint.
 
My Annapurna circuit trek with Adventure Travellers Club left me awe inspired! magnificent backdrops everyday beautiful local culture, where else in the world can compare Peru, Colorado, Yosemite, Banff, Chamonix, yes all are amazing but Nepal trek was an excellent informative, cultural experience I will never forget!

Thanks a lot and much love,

Thank you so much for your time and effort to make our short vacation wonderful, Our Guide Ramesh was a romantic person, he made our trip full of fun and enjoyment, please say thanks a lot for taking care of us in the remote areas. We were far from home and worried about doing 21 days trekking, but Ramesh made us forget about our home and enjoy the beautiful and breathtaking places we went to, we couldn’t believe how fast our days went passed. We hope to see you guys some day again and would like to trek in another region next time. Thanks for the smiles and the good times.

Your Friends,

It was a wonderful experience. I didn't think I would make it after the 1st day because of the long climb but thanks to the support of my guide I made it and for me I feel as if it was a huge achievement. You were very pleasant company and I would certainly do another trip with ATC

Dear Adventure Travellers Club,
I wasn't really looking forward to doing a trek, but you and the boys at ATC managed to make it fun. The food was great, and the accommodation could not have been better. Its pity it was only four days, I can’t wait to be able to organize my next trek with you guys, and you have got me hooked. I hope to see you again in the summer and to any one else out there, please try ATC, they converted me into a trekker.
