Trekking in Nepal with Annapurna Mountain Treks, and Jhalak Simkhada in particular, was one o the greatest experiences of my life. During both my last visit to Nepal and a previous visit in 2013, Jhalak delivered, again and again, even going so far as to carry me on his back when I injured my knee and was unable to walk out. Both he and the other staff always maintained a happy, welcoming attitude that improved the experience tenfold! I would gladly recommend AMT to any intrepid voyager looking to explore this beautiful country without hesitation.
I have been trekking in Nepal for many, many years and have done most of the major treks, some even twice. Annapurna Mountain Treks is a company I always use to book trekking in Nepal. On almost all of them, Jhalak was my lead guide. What can I say about him? You will not find a better person to guide you. He is extremely knowledgeable about the treks, he is very personable and fun and speaks very good English. It is like having your big brother with you, feeling very, very safe and protected. Jhalak is very respected in the trekking community and he is much liked by the porters and other Sherpas. He treats everybody with the utmost respect, is fair, and is very concerned about the guest and staff’s safety. I totally trust his decisions in every situation.
Jhalak is a family man, a respected Brahmin in his village who works hard to provide education for his children and maintain a good home.
I have always asked for Jhalak to be my guide and was very happy to see his smiling face greet me in Kathmandu on my arrival. I am very happy I met this exceptional human being.
I would highly recommend Annapurna Mountain Treks for all your trekking needs. You will have excellent trekking experiences with AMT.
In October 2017 I did the Everest Base Camp Trek with Annapurna Mountain Treks. I started out flying into Kathmandu and met with Sanjib in the hotel. Sanjib was very helpful in preparing for the trek. The hotel staff was also very helpful. I was the oldest trekker at 63 years old. My trek leader Jhalak was outstanding. He was very supportive and very experienced (over 20 years) in trekking in the area. He became a good friend of mine. The trek was tough but he always had a very positive, supportive attitude towards me and the other 10 trekkers. I would highly recommend Annapurna Mountain Treks and request Jhalak as the group leader!
I am a Nepalese citizen living in Canada who went to Nepal to visit Pokhara specifically with some of my Indian friends. I booked a package for Pokhara, Kathmandu, and Gorkha trip with Annapurna Mountain Treks at a reasonable price, it was an awesome trip. The team was very kind and friendly, lodging and food were excellent, traveling was comfortable.
I recently completed the Manaslu Circuit Trek with Annapurna Mountain Treks company and I was so pleased with the experience I had during the trek. I contacted Mr.Sanjib via email for the information about the trek and he provided me with all the details within a short period of time.
Our guide for the trek was Jhalak who was very friendly and so professional in his work. He led us on our journey with much more entertainment on the way. Potters were also amazing. They helped me a lot during the trek. I got to know them better during the journey through funny interactions with each other. Everything was perfectly managed by the GK company.
I had the best accommodation and transportation service. The most beautiful moment of the trek was reaching the destination after so many struggles and fun during the journey and it was worth everything. The most breathtaking moment was the view of the moment was a glorious mountain and its beautiful surroundings. It was really an amazing trek with amazing people working in this field. I really enjoyed it a lot and will soon visit again and recommend this company a lot.
