Fantastic, personalized service! An unforgettable way to see Nepal! - Arjun and team is your best choice for exploring Nepal. Just recently completed the Nar-Phu Valley track with Mesokanto-La Pass, two weeks of trekking through amazing villages “off the beaten... read more path” of the Annapurna circuit. Arjun was well attentive to all our needs, answering all questions regarding our trip choosing, booking, packing, and trip prep even months before our scheduled holiday. He was easy to reach electronically and responses were prompt and clear. He made us feel safe on the trek and very welcome in his country. He has excellent mountain skills, and also provided answers to our cultural and way-of-life questions. He was not just our tour guide – – he became our friend! His team of drivers, city guides and porters are all top-notch. The highest of service!
When considering a trekking trip to Nepal, Access the Asia is the way to go if you desire personalized service, reliability.... and overall fun, laughs, and adventure!
