First and best trekking experience in Annapurna

t was our first trekking experience in Nepal, and I am delighted that the journey was exceptional. As an experienced trekker, we chose a popular trekking point, Annapurna Base Camp. The famous trek with a reputable trekking agency, Boundless Adventure, was commendable.

The crew members of Boundless welcomed us at Tribhuvan International Airport with warm hospitality. From the start to the end of our journey, they cared for us and managed every logistics. The trek was cheerfulness. Everything was decidedly satisfying, from the drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara to Nayapul to the beginning of the trek. The smiling mountain range, simple villages and way of living, birds chirping, and fresh air were our companions after our friendly guide. We strongly recommend Boundless Adventure and ABC Trek.

Majestic beauty of Ghorepani Poon Hill

I heard a lot about the beauty of Nepal from many of my friends. Luckily, last October, I got to experience heaven with my two friends. One of my friends has already come to Nepal and has trekked through Boundless Adventure, and we also chose the same company for our journey. We planned an extended vacation but had to leave as soon as possible due to some issues. Mr.Dambar helped us a lot while selecting our package. After lots of discussions and going through information about each trekking destination, we chose to go for the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek. The Ghorepani Poon Hill is the best for people like us with limited time. The trek was a perfect mixture of little adventure and nature’s beauty. The early sunrise view and its ray on the summit of the mountain still satisfy my mind—a most recommended trekking destination and trekking agency, Boundless Adventure.

Upper Mustang were breathtaking

My friends and I recently completed the Upper Mustang trek with Boundless Adventure, and the experience was truly unforgettable. From the moment I inquired about the trek to the end of the trip, the team handled everything perfectly and professionally. Our guide was knowledgeable, professional, and well-versed in the history, culture, and geography of Upper Mustang.

The Upper Mustang region was breathtaking, and Boundless Adventure was amazing in customizing our itinerary to ensure we had plenty of time to explore the area. As there were five people in our group, the company gave us a group discount, which made their excellent service even more affordable. We are so thankful for their exceptional kindness and service at a reasonable cost.

Smooth and memorable Langtang Trek

I completed the Langtang Valley trek with my sibling last May 2022. It was our first trekking journey, and Boundless Adventure made it smooth and memorable. Due to our first time trekking in Nepal, we were worried about many things, and Boundless Adventure took care of us dedicatedly. From arranging our hotel in Kathmandu to the Langtang Valley trekking journey, the team didn’t let us feel any burden. Talking about the trek, it was just superb.

From the jaw-dropping scenery of various terrain and mountain peaks to the warm hospitality of the locals, every moment was like a dream. Our guide was highly professional and ensured our safety throughout the journey. I highly recommend this trek and Boundless Adventure.
