Siddhartha Hotel Grand City, Birtamode

A quiet trail, huge Annapurna views and a guide who adjusted the pace to our group perfectly. Booking again next spring.

Travelling through the old kingdom of Lo felt like stepping back five centuries. Permits, jeeps and homestays all just worked.

The turquoise lakes and the view from Gokyo Ri beat anything I have seen in the Alps. Flawless logistics from airport to airport.

Rhinos at dawn from a dugout canoe — unforgettable. Lodges were simple but spotless, and our naturalist guide was superb.

We expected a trek. What we got was a story we are still telling months later. The team felt like family by day three.

The private tour was worth every moment — calm, organized, and full of stories about the valley’s history we would never have heard otherwise.

Every transfer, every teahouse, every permit was handled before we even asked. It made the whole adventure feel effortless.

Our guide knew every hidden turn of the Khumbu. We saw places you would never find on your own, and the acclimatisation pacing was spot on.
