I have just returned from Annapurna Base Camp trek with Eve Holidays and I love the experience. Everything went smooth and their service was perfect. Food was great and accommodation was fine considering the fact that it was in remote mountains. Views in the Annapurna trek was wonderful with magical mountains, small villages and tea house lodges and Nepalese rural lifestyle. My guide and porter were very caring and they made sure all the time that i am safe and enjoying my trek. I would extremely recommend Eve Holidays as I found it beyond my expectation and it is operated by a single mom who employs women so that she can help them. I appreciate the small step taken by her towards helping other women like herself.

During our Himalayan adventure, Sabin Dangol spent NINE days with our "mature" group of seven, 60+ trekkers. He was informative about the area and made certain that we were comfortable throughout our trip. We all spent wonderful evenings in the tea houses together where Sabin would share stories of his upbringing and the Nepalese culture. His English is strong! After several days, Sabin got to know us very well ... all of our quirks and eccentricities. He had a great sense of humor through some rigorous days on the trail. He kept our spirits high every step of the way. We appreciated the wisdom of this young man; we trusted his judgment immensely. We highly recommend this intelligent young man: part guide, part naturalist, part Nepalese historian, part psychologist, part nutritionist, ... and a great UNO player!
