    We did the Annapurna Circuit with Unique Path and our trip was amazing! Everything was seamless: all accommodation was booked in advance and we got good rooms along the route; all our transport was on time and we found our driver very safe; and we were told where to be and when. Babu, who organised our trip, thought of everything and was very flexible and professional. We ended up changing our original plan. All our hotels/ flights / transport were adjusted accordingly. Babu also helped organise a tour of Kathmandu for us. On top of that our guide & porter (Ishwor & Ramesh) were great. They were knowledgeable, fun, caring and aware of mountain safety. We had a great time spending 14 days with them and felt like we were in very capable hands! We can’t wait to come back and do a different trek with them and would recommend to any Nepal visitors!
