Recommendation from David and Patricia Stock
I have been on one trek with members of the "Far above the Clouds" trekking agency. Last year we went on the Annapurna Circuit trek and as I type this we are preparing for the Annapurna Base Camp trek. Last year I had a wonderful experience. We had so much fun and were very appreciative of all their efforts on our behalf. Right from the start they have been very professional in working out the details and prices of the trek. They were very prompt in getting back to our emails and gave lots of suggestions about the process and how the trek would proceed. I was also very pleased on the trek with their attention to our safety at every stage. Last year we had 6 trekkers, 6 porters and guide and all the Nepalese were very personable and friendly. Most had very good English which made the experience more interesting. I am always impressed by the good group spirit all the people of Nepal have. Everyone is part of a bigger group and everyone looks out for the Others whenever they receive something like a chocolate bar or biscuits they are immediately divided among all. And so they are with us trekkers. They are very proud of their country and want you to have a very excellent adventure. I would recommend "Far above the Clouds" trekking agency to anyone looking for a good experience here in Nepal. They will take care of you royally and you will establish lasting friendships and memories for years to come. Feel free to contact me for more information at " davidfstock@yahoo.com " and I will certainly get back to you."
I am a 60-year-old female trekker from the Rocky Mountain region of southeast British Columbia, Canada. For the past six years I have been trekking with Bishnu K.C. or members of his trekking team: Annapurna Panorama, Jomsom to Muktinath Pilgrimage route, Lukla to Tengboche, Annapurna Circuit (twice), Everest Base Camp, and finally the Annapurna Sanctuary to Annapurna Base Camp. Due to the excellent safety considerations, professional attention to details and many kind courtesies provided by this staff,I continue to return to Nepal and this company each year for trekking. During these treks I have observed the respectful consideration the agency has for the porters by providing them with proper clothes for high altitudes and fair carrying loads. The treks I have been on have been customnized to allow careful acclimatization for porters and clients alike. I look forward to continuing my association with the staff of this excellent company. Next years' trek .... the Langtang Himals!! (Please write to me at "patriciaqstock@yahoo.ca" if you would like more information or recommendations.)
Recommadation from Thierry Roquet
I went to Nepal in august 2008. As I am a trekking guide in Central and South America, before my arriving, I was a little worried about services I will find during my Nepal trek. When you have used for 20 years to guide and to leader trekkers groups, it can be very difficult to feel perfectly ok being guided by another guide and having to follow instructions for several days (especially when you are mule headed). In Katmandu, my girl friend and I met our guide Bishnu and part of From Far Above The Clouds Trekking Agency's team with whom we trekked around Annapurna mountains for 12 days. They received us in their office, offered us a nice dinner, there we spoke about all details of the trek and services, in a very clear and friendly way. After we did the trek, and really it will stay for me one of my greater trekking experiences! I really enjoyed Bishnu's personality and professionalism. I found with him and his team what I was looking for: a very serious professional guide, really friendly smiles and relationship, and all information about Nepalese way of Life. For that, I warmly recommend Bishnu and his team!
