I did a ten days Annapurna base camp trek with View Nepal Treks & Expedition. I would highly recommend the company, and particularly our guide Basu. He seemed to know everybody en route so enabled us to meet some local toddlers who were adorable! Also, all worries of huts being full were taken away. The company is Nepal based, so far cheaper than Western companies, but you get at least as good service. The trek itself is absolutely stunning, particularly Machupuchare, which is in view for most of the trek. I’ve done a lot of hiking and nothing has come close to this. We went trek in August which worked out perfectly. Despite some day rain, we had good weather and missed the peak season. The accommodation was better than I expected, we had clean private rooms every night. Bhupendra who runs the company, who have a nice hotel in Pokhara by the Fewa lake looking after by his brothers, the effort to us at the end of the trip which was a lovely gesture.
Anyone traveling to Nepal and want to do trekking in Nepal, do not hesitate to contact them at viewnepaltreks@gmail.com View Nepal and Their team will be the best host in Nepal.
Take care!!

We had an amazing experience with View Nepal Treks & Expedition.We found this company through searching in internet and started to communicate with Mr. Bhupendra, He was so helpful and answer our questions without any hasitation and finally booked our Nepal trip and travel with them. He arranged a great guide with excellent English with full information and I enjoyed the flexibility in my trip. In our trip The guesthouses and hotels chosen were all comfortable and the food was always fresh and good. The communication was great, and we were well taken care of Pick up, flights etc, which was always on time. Also I was lucky to have met so many other inspiring people on the track which was a extra bonus. The highlight was the guide and staff were always happy to help us with a smile as a close friend. We enjoyed the travel in Nepal Himalayas a lot and feel easy when I am in the mountains. Thank you Mr.Bhupendra for making my trip so special which I Never forget, hope to see you again soon.
