I should first tell you about the owner, Raj Kumar Thapaliya, he is a very gentle soul. Very friendly and always ready to help.
The tour, Annapurna Circuit, he arranged for me went on without a hitch. Both my guide and the little chap who helped me in carrying most of my stuff were very good, though their English might have been somewhat better.
Still, I definitely would reccomend you to get in touch with Absolute Adventure Treks Pvt. Ltd. before you start your adventure in Nepal.
PS. I was with Absolute Adventure in the fall of 2013 but below I do not have that choice so I marked October 2014...:-)))

I highly recommend Absolute Adventure Treks and Raj Kumar Thapaliya if you are planning a trip to Nepal. Raj and I started communicating by email a year before our trip. He gave good advice, answered my many questions and arranged everything so that we could relax and enjoy our trip. His English is excellent and he is very responsive.
We went on a six-day trek through the Annapurna Conservation Area in March 2014. It was beautiful, although a little early for the full flower experience. Being the shoulder season, it wasn't so crowded; the lodges were clean, comfortable and well run and the people were kind and helpful. Our guide and porter took care of all of our needs and modified the trip slightly to accommodate our interests. We had a wonderful time. Raj met us at the end of the trek, had a nice hotel room waiting for us and arranged our travel back to the airport the next morning. It was all easy.
We also visited Chitwan National Park - a must see. Absolute Adventure Treks can arrange many side trips. After my experience, I would definitely trust them to plan my next visit.

Hi Raj!
Namaste! I wanted to send you a more detailed thank-you now that I've returned home. My experience with you and your company was very positive and I would not hesitate to recommend your services. From day 1 you were very responsive to my email inquiries. Electronic communication was essential to me at the time. I especially appreciate your website and the information it contains.
I felt very well cared for during the entire time starting as soon as I arrived at the airport. Once on the trail, I appreciated Nabin's flexibility in our itinerary. Despite being a little older than most porters, he was very capable and I appreciated the fact he had hiked the same route numerous times. We had a great time and I met many new friends.
I think the biggest concern of my trip was the airline flight from Kathmandu to Shanghai. You know it was cancelled the day Nabin dropped me off at the airport. We had been unable to contact the airport to confirm the flight before. Fortunately the rescheduled flight did ultimately depart the following day after being delayed again.
I hope business is good and you had an enjoyable holiday! Take care!

Annapurna Round Trek - September 2008

Dear Raj,
Thank you for organizing such a wonderful trip for us. We all enjoyed the trip very much.
All staff of the trip was very nice. They were friendly, hard working and helpful. We would not finish our trip without them. They helped us come to know more about the Nepal people.
I was very impressed by the kitchen staff that they could provide us good tasting food under the harsh condition of the mountains. I have never imagined that they cleaned the cooking utensils so thoroughly even on the mountains. The cooking utensils shined! I am sure that it won't happen in the China.
The porters were strong and fit guys. Ang Kaji and his brother- in-law were strong men. They all left us a good impression.
I would like to thank Bhupendra & Ram who took care of us in different aspects. They have done a good job! They made us come to know the "lemon and orange” marriage. It is so sweet the orange marriage work so well in Nepal.
Finally I would like to thank Raj who spent time with us, taking us to buy scarf, try the steaks and handle air ticket issues...
4-weeks in Nepal was a wonderful holiday to us. Definitely I would like to visit Nepal again; hopefully it would be next yr.
Cheers,

Raj:
I had a most wonderful adventure on the trek that Northface Trekking arranged. Your service was outstanding to say Nikthe least.
You started by having me picked up at the airport and delivering me to the hotel, with which you had already arranged my lodging.
From there, because your package included everything, I just had to walk and be awed by the scenery. Bhupendra, my trekking guide, knew the flora, fauna, geology, and culture of the region very well. With his knowledge, and sharp artistic eye I was able to snap some photographs of many rare animals and flowers. Many more than I would have seen myself.
Most importantly, upon returning to Kathmandu and loosing my wallet, you helped me with the difficult time.
I am so grateful for your service and caring attitude. I will definitely use your services again, and recommend you to my friends desiring to trek in Nepal.

The arrangement was very good and the price was reasonable for the package. I'me setting fitted to everyone’s abilities.
Suggestion: If provide more price options beforehand are much better, such as rent a van or take tourist bus etc. List out two different tour prices for us to choose, we can choose according to our budget to get different things. That can avoid ague in between group members.
The trekking guide, Bhupendra, is very experienced in trekking and knowledgeable in all kind of things. He is a nice, helpful and smart guy. I would like him to be my trekking guide again next time. Civa is familiar with the history of Nepal and explains clear and detail. He is always so cheerful and friendly.
Raj is a very good leader in trekking and rafting. He is kind, comic and of course handsome la. Raj is a very experienced tourist leader, arranged everything in a proper way and time. He has rich knowledge in the trekking routes that we can get more information about other routes in order we can plan our next trek in advance. Raj is just like one of our friends, very friendly, always talking and sharing with us. He is so smart that even we didn’t tell him he knew what we were talking about and our needs. Raj is very helpful also. He helped one of our friends to the Embassy many times for a new passport even our tour had finished.
I have no doubt to highly recommend Absolute Adventure Treks to any one who goes to Nepal for trekking and rafting. I am sure I will hire Absolute Adventure again if I visit Nepal again.

Words are not enough to thank you for the most pleasurable Trek and the wonderful time we spend with you in the mountains of Nepal 2002.
EDELWEISS -TEAM, from HK and Germany.
After an Internet - recommendation by a Dutch lady. I decided to do my Annapurna - circuit with the Absolute Adventure Treks. And that was I choice I have never regret. From arrival at the airport till departure they arranged every thing well, the only thing I had to do was enjoy it !
Being used to the freedom of traveling by myself, spending 3 weeks high up in the mountains with a guide and porter. With my guide and the strong porter ,we formed a good strong team, I believe. The guide was very good, taking care of every thing, revealing some of the cultural and at the same time giving me all the freedom that is so dear to me. Additional I have to, it is not only fun and convenient to have at least a guide, but also necessary. High up in the mountains, a lot of things can happen that you cannot handle by yourself.
These three week trekking was for me a dream came true; seeing the Himalayas with my own eyes ! and memory that will treasure. If I have possibility, I will definitely come back. Nepal is a rich and very beautiful country with many things to see and experience !
Absolute Adventure Treks, Thanks !Hope to meet you all again,

Raj Kumar of "Absolute Adventure Treks" is a special friend. My wife and I were Absolute Adventure Treks company's first client. He has guided and helped us enjoy all that is Nepal on three previous occasions. His manner, experience and expertise is faultless.
Give his new company a try- I know who I will use on my next holiday in Nepal.
All the best your Australian Friend,

We used the excellent services provided by "Absolute Adventure Trekking". When we climbed the Langtang valley and GinnyGosainkunda over the Lauribinayak pass. Our guide and friend Raj shaved with us once again, so many wonderful memories. His unobtrusive experience gives such confidence. We had so much fun with him and porter. Thank you to "Absolute Adventure Treks". Good luck for the future- we will be seeing you again !
