Unforgettable and Amazing Trekking Trip

"No worry na"—this was Devi’s signature response whenever we had concerns before the trip. His patience and reassurance put us at ease every time. True to his words, once the journey began, he and his team delivered on every promise. We truly had nothing to worry about—whether it was the trekking progress, meals, or accommodation, everything was taken care of seamlessly. Our group of 4 just returned from a 10-day Annapurna Base Camp trek, and it was an experience to cherish. On one particularly long trekking day, I expressed my doubts about making it to our destination, but our guide, Pasang, simply said, "Don't worry, everyone can make it." His confidence and encouragement kept us going, and with the support of such a patient, responsible, and experienced team, we completed the trek smoothly. A huge thank you to Pasang, Puli, our amazing porters, and the entire Odea Services team for assisting us in achieving our goals. Their professionalism and dedication are unmatched.

Beautiful Moments

During our third trip to Nepal with five friends, we explored Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) and Nagarkot. The Nagarkot Panoramic Hiking Trail treated us to breathtaking 180-degree views of lush greenery and stunning landscapes. Although bad weather prevented us from seeing the mountains on our first visit, the experience was still unforgettable. Odea Services once again exceeded our expectations with their outstanding support. Our experienced guide, Dhakal KN, along with Naveen and the Odea team, ensured a smooth and enjoyable journey. A special thanks to Devi, our Chief, for his expert recommendations on new routes in Nepal. We’re incredibly grateful for another amazing adventure and can't wait to return for more!

I was completely satisfied with my ABC trek organized by Odea Services!

From start to finish, Odea took care of us 24/7, so all I had to do was enjoy the journey the trails, the breathtaking landscapes, and the fresh mountain air.My guide was an experienced Sherpa who prioritized our safety at all times and communicated very well in English. I always felt secure and supported. A big thank you to Devi, who runs Odea. He’s incredibly friendly and thoughtful his small gestures made a big impact on my trip. From inviting us to a Valentine’s party with traditional music, to helping us buy things at better prices, and even sending our postcards these are the things that made my trek truly unforgettable.If I return to Nepal for another adventure, I will definitely choose Odea Services again!

From the warm welcome by Devi in Kathmandu to the airport drop-off at the end, the service was truly excellent.Our trek guide, Ngima, was absolutely amazing.

wonderful trekking trip with the best organizer a trekker could ever hope for!

I highly recommend trekking tours from this organizer. we enjoyed the 10 days trekking to Annapurna base camp on Nov 2025. our local Trekking guide Mingma was very kind, professional, with good English and communication skill. the four porters were calm, stable, thoughtful and friendly. they did their job with so much heart and sincerity. together we were like a little family, and the trip couldn’t be as successful and full of warmth without them. we were lucky to have them taking care of us.
