Get very fit and don't believe it's suitable for a first Nepal trek

Great introduction to trekking in Nepal with superb scenery and experience of trekking accommodations

I didn't know what to expect but I can say it over delivered every single day - the wildlife we saw each day and close up was overwhelming at times. The passion that Costa Rica has for its national parks and conservation puts the UK to shame.

The trekking through the varied scenery was great. The lodges provided were of good quality. I liked that KE provided sleeping bags and down jackets upon request - this certainly was a positive in my choosing KE. I would recommend arriving in Kathmandu at least a day early - allows recovery from the long journey and there's loads to do/see there too.

While the trek to Panch Pokhari was fascinating we were on a pilgrim trail and so wasn't truly unspoiled and the degree of litter was disappointing. However the trek to the Jugal Himal basecamp was wonderfully rugged and challenging, and especially the return via the rural and unspoiled Tempathang was truly magical. Thus the second part of the trek was the best.

This adventure pushed me like no other, yet was incredibly rewarding. To get the most out of this adventure, be prepared physically and have the right gear. Prepare for harsh conditions, but hope for the best!

Ensure you prepare your kit well and ensure you are physically fit before travelling.

The leader Nat and Chris were excellent and I felt safe in the hand. The drivers and staff in Bolivia were also excellent.

We thoroughly recommend this journey to Annapurna Base Camp. The walking is reasonably strenuous but the rewards are tremendous. It was genuinely a great privilege to be immersed in the place, with its mountains, rivers, forests and people.

We loved all four destinations we visited, and the activities were great. Very well organised with all pickups very prompt. The off grid jungle raft experience was a highlight.

A trek of great variety and beauty but definitely a challenge for the fit and experienced. Variable weather made for tougher than usual conditions, but ultimately gave the trip a different dimension and contributed to a greater feeling of satisfaction by the end. Also, be prepared for a lot of travel. This trek is not in one of Nepal's more accessible regions, which is part of what makes it special.

Scenery amazing, well organised. Just brilliant all round

Climbing Fogo volcano was a highlight. Staying in the village that is being rebuilt amongst the lava that decimated it in 2015 was an experience to be remembered.

My goal was to summit Mera and see the 8000M peaks around me and identify them. Goal achieved, thanks to Anup. Learned new mountaineering skills, and to appreciate the people who live/work in that rugged environment.

From the initial enquiry to the final day in Osaka KE had everything covered. Staff in uk were always helpful and organised everything. Pietro our guide was amazing - never herding but gently guiding and v informative and always approachable and professional. Thanks Pietro for a fantastic trip
