Amazing experience @ Annapurna South summit
Many thanks to Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition team for arranging a successful expedition of Annapurna South. Everything was well organized by the team members. All the support from the crew members from carrying all the stuff to serving good and hygienic meals. Everything was just perfect. We must admit that there are several sections which are very challenging and need a high level of technical climbing knowledge. Our Sardar (guide) was Ang-Dendi Sherpa, honestly, e are very impressed with his decision-making ability and technical climbing knowledge. Without his guidance, there was no way we could reach the summit of Annapurna South. All the hard work and tiring climb were worth when standing on the summit !! Believe us !! Overall, teamwork was excellent, no complaints concerning staff managements and everyone in our group was feeling great after conquering the summit of Annapurna South, as an achievement of a lifetime. We strongly recommend Nepal Guide Treks and Expedition for those wanting to conquer the high mountains of Nepal.
Wishing Best of Luck !!!
