An unforgettable, flawlessly organized Annapurna Overland Expedition! We were a group of 6 doing the 8-day Kathmandu to Manang overland Jeep journey, and we couldn't be happier with how it was handled. Managing logistics, teahouse stays, and meals for a group on the rough roads through Dharapani and Pisang is tough, but the organization was seamless from start to finish. Our driver was incredibly skilled on the off-road trails, and the pacing of the itinerary gave us perfect acclimatization for our brutal 4,600m push to Kicho Ice Lake. Highly recommend this team for anyone looking for a well-managed, value-for-money Himalayan adventure!
