Anapurna Base Camp Trek via Ghorepani Poon Hill

It was a perfect trip organized by Ram Kumar, the owner of Alpine Eco Trek and our guide Ram Gopal. We booked Everest Base Camp trek and it was not possible to take the flight to Lukla. We are waiting for two days and we were thinking we have not a chance to make something, but Ram and Ram Gopal organized in a few hours another trek to Annapurna Base Camp via Poon Hill with necessary permits, transports, guesthouses, and foods, etc. It was an excellent job from Ram Kumar and Ram Gopal, and all the whole 11 days during the trek were perfectly planned and our guide had done an excellent job. It was fantastic, a great adventure and we highly recommend Ram Kumar and Alpine Eco Trek, thank you very much for this experience. We will definitely come back for the Mt Everest Base Camp trek one day in the future.
