When I went on my trip to the Annapurna region, Prakash was a fantastic guide. I went on my journey with Prakash alone and am a girl of 23 years old. I had originally planned to complete the entire Annapurna Circuit, but Ganesh was helpful in reorganizing my journey such that I would instead complete Annapurna Base Camp via Poon Hill for a 10-day walk. I had a great day hiking with Prakash, and he was a fantastic guide who looked out for me so well. On days when we finished early, we went on some exciting additional treks, which was amazing. The Mardi Himal base camp was another addition we made, and it was fantastic! Prakash was really accommodating to all of my needs, adding more treks when I indicated a desire, which was amazing, and he handled everything so well.
Additionally, if you are unsure whether to go with a private guide or a group, I would highly suggest choosing the latter so you may enjoy your journey exactly how you want to!
