We had the best time on our trek with Suraj around the Annapurna Circuit. During the trek, he was our absolute hype king—always keeping the energy up and pacing us perfectly with well-timed water and sweet treat breaks.
In the afternoons and evenings, we got seriously into dhumbal. It turned into a full-on Nepal vs Australia showdown with Suraj and our porter Tuk—such good fun! They both made the trip even more memorable with their great humour and big hearts.
Suraj always made sure we had the best rooms at the best guesthouses, and we were never short on tasty meals. When our flight from Pokhara got cancelled, he went above and beyond to organise a Jeep—and honestly, jamming out to tunes on that ride back ended up being one of the highlights!
Big thanks to Ganga as well—he was super responsive over email and made the whole planning process a breeze.
All in all, we couldn’t have had a better experience. It was everything we hoped for and more, all thanks to Suraj and Tuk!
