      4 day Annapurna Ghorepani Trek

      My trip to Nepal was a last minute plan. A week before my departure I contacted Arjun at Outfitter Nepal about a short trek. He responded immediately with a descriptive outline for a 4 day trek. As it worked out, Arjun met me the day I arrived in Nepal, where we made further adjustments to the plan due to certain restrictions I had, and within that same day he obtained the necessary trekking permits, flight reservations, accommodations and transportation.

      The next day we were off to Pokhara with our guide Raj for a hike to Ghandruk in the Annapurna Sanctuary. It was an amazing adventure. Raj was extremely competent, knowledgable, sociable, and cheerfully accommodated requests and last minute changes due to conditions on the trail.

      This was the rainy season so we hiked in rain, mist, fog as well as sun and heat but the experience was terrific, the views incredible and we will have great memories of our adventure thanks to the organizational skills and professional service from the fellows at Outfitter Nepal.
