The Jiri Trek “"The best and most awe-inspiring month of my life."” Let me start with it was probably the best and most awe-inspiring month of my life. The mountains, culture, and the people who were some of the friendliest I've ever met. I decided to book with Actual Adventure because after a while of searching they had the best tours for the best prices that i came across. After getting in touch with Kedar Neupane I know i made the right decision. He couldn'... See more t have been more helpful, kind, and patient with all my questions. While i was in Nepal i partook in two separate treks through the company. Which i would have had really hard time with if it weren't for my awesome guide and new brother Lakpa Sherpa. I honestly think if he wasn't there with me i wouldn't have been able to do it both physically, and mentally. The first trek being the 20 day Jiri to Everest Base Camp and Kala Pathar. The second being the 7 day Nayapul to Poon Hill in the Annapurna Range. For the money that i spent of the trek i really believe i got the most out of it. I had three meals every day, countless cups of tea, and a room to myself every night. Now trekking in a developing country you need to have realistic expectations of the lodges you will be staying in. If you bring a sleeping bag to throw on the bed to sleep in you will be fine, these village lodge owners give it all they have but that is limited. In the cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara they clearly have the ability to have immaculate rooms. I honestly have no complaints with Actual Adventure or the Trekking I did through them. They were all incredibly kind and helpful. I will most definitely visit Nepal again and without a doubt be using Actual Adventure again and again. Visited November 2015 AUSTIN New York See less...
