I trekked to Annapurna Base Camp in 2023 with Petr and Prakash who now run Base Camp Himalayas, and honestly, it exceeded every expectation I had — not just in terms of scenery, but in meaning and depth.
What made the biggest impression on me wasn’t just the snow-capped peaks or rhododendron forests (though they’re stunning) — it was the way the team connected us with the culture. We drank salty butter tea with a teahouse owner whose family had lived in the village for generations, and we met a women’s cooperative making traditional handicrafts. These weren’t tourist stops — they were real interactions that felt organic and respectful.
Petr plans his treks with humility and care, and it’s clear that Base Camp Himalayas is driven by more than just business. They invest in the local communities, pay their porters fairly, and support education and women’s health programs in the areas we trekked through. That really matters.
I came home with a full heart and a head full of stories. If you’re looking for a company that truly respects the land, the people, and the experience — this is the one.

Hey Pete,
This was honestly one of the most beautiful treks I’ve ever done. Not just because of the stunning peaks and landscapes, but because of the cultural connection. It was amazing to hear the stories of the people living in those mountain villages.
Evenings around the fire pit, showing them photos, sharing where we came from, and listening to their life stories, those were moments I’ll never forget. I especially loved the time we spent in the Gurung villages. Life there is simple, grounded, and beautiful. A reminder of how peaceful things can be when we cut out the noise.
This trip was like a perfectly cooked dish: good friends, mountains, and real adventure.
Let’s plan the next one soon!
