Best Way to Be into Nature

It was a fantastic trip with the sunrise from Poon Hill and the morning from Annapurna base camp, which pampered us in clear skies and pleasant weather. The guides and porters were fantastic and tried to communicate with their broken English, our leading guide Milan was excellent with his knowledge of mountains and other areas in Nepal. I can only recommend this trip. Make sure you love the steps and the hills and the breathtaking views.
