Nov 2013 • CouplesAn excellent travel agency. Even found me a room to rest for half a day when I fell ill and had to cut short my KTM sightseeing on the last day of my trip. The guide they assigned to our ABC trek was extremely knowledgeable of the route and took very good care of us. Highly recommended!Review fromfavoniusTaiwan
Feb 2023 • Solo택시드라이버와 함께 주인로빈이 소개해준 시내구경을 함
좋은차와 좋은안내로 3군데 구경하였음
다음에 다시 올때 안나푸르나와 ABC 트레킹에 대한 상세한 조언을 듣고 예약에 도움을 주겠다고 약속함
좋은 여행사라 생각함
Excellent arrangement by Himalayan Abode brothers – Nabin and Prabin. Thx to our trekking guide Bhuban and porter ramesh and yen taking care of us along the way. We enjoyed the hike very much. Lifetime experience. Highly recommended
Apr 2018 • FriendsEro con un gruppo misto di amici, siamo stati per 16 giorni con Sadhuram Ghorsaine, ci ha accompagnati nel trekking in annapurna ed è stato come un padre. Molto attento e gentile, non ci ha fatto mancare nulla. Ci serviva addirittura al tavolo e non c’è stato modo di farlo smettere. Gli abbiamo lasciato una meritata mancia in tutti quanti.
Esperienza, serietà e molta amicizia, sta facendo un corso di lingua italiana, fra poco sarà pronto anche per gli italiani piu radicali (no english 🙂 )
Ho conosciuto anche il suo boss, persona efficente e ottimo management, l’ultima sera ci ha anche offerto una squisita cena tradizionale nepalese.Trasporti e spostamenti impeccabili, visitate poi Katmandu, Patan e Bjaktapur, per poi passare 3 giorni nel villaggio di Sudal. Esperienza imperdibile e piu bella di tutto il resto, dove si tocca realmente il Nepal, la vita in villaggio, si vive a contatto con loro e ci si immerge nella vita rurale, fabbriche di mattoni, coltivazioni, allevamenti. Alla sera splendida festa attorno a un grande fuoco tutti assieme. Esperienza fantastica, penso proprio che ci tornerò!
Struttura particolarmente indicata per chi fa un viaggio in Nepal per la prima volta.
Enjoy and share your trip with Sadu and the Abode Travels!Review from
Feb 2018 • Solo首次一人旅行尼泊爾，委請旅行社協助，提供妥善的規劃，到達加德滿都之後，從接駁到行程解釋、塔美爾簡單路線介紹都非常詳細細心，是愉快又安心的旅行！
Trekking安排的嚮導是Balaram，對於當地歷史文化、生態都瞭解並解說，讓走路之外與尼泊爾多了連結，吃住也都很好，一個女生的安全疑慮全放下了，很難得很滿意。
謝謝用心！
May 2010 We enjoyed our trekking in the Annapurna region, and our guide was excellent, the tour was very well planned and despite political problems at the time we always felt safe. We trekked at our own pace and were never rushed. The trails are beautiful especially the part through the rhododendron forest. We would recommend Himalayan Abode Travel to anyone wishing to take this tour.
