I hiked the Annapurna Circuit trek with my sister and had an amazing time! Ramesh Jirel, our guide, was very experienced and knowledgeable (15+ years of experience). He took excellent care of us and catered to our many requests. I felt very safe in his care. He guided us along the path, told us about the culture, acted as a translator, served all our meals, monitored us for signs of AMS, reserved all our rooms (including a night at high camp and rooms with attached bathrooms)- and he did it all with a smile and a positive attitude. He was very flexible when we changed our plans nearly every day (we were the only two on the tour). He knew the area very well and gave a lot of input. We had such a great time that we may hike to Everest Base Camp with Ramesh in a few years!
