My wife and I did the Annapurna Base Camp Trek in Oct 2023 with Trek Ways Nepal Pvt. Ltd and then used them again for the Kathmandu Valley Rim Trail Trek in November. Tika Regmi was a pleasure to work with and very responsive to pre-trek questions and my many last minute itinerary revisions. We had the best tea house along the trek. The meals were great, especially the fruit they provided us was so nice as other trekkers were asking us if we were VIP. Our guides knew the routes well and, more importantly, were fun to hang out with. A very attentive and professional team made our trekking holiday very special. Thank you, Tika and Chandan Jirel (My guide) for your help. I would definitely use them again.
