Superlative scenery on a majestic scale from the lower foothills to the mighty mountain, I walked in total awe of my surroundings. Did my mouth gap open? Yes it did.

Everest Base Camp Trek – September 2011

A strenuous but rewarding trek. Excellent personal fitness is highly recommended though, to get the most out of it.

Everest Base Camp Trek – April 2011 & Chitwan Safari May 2011

“We would both like to thank you for your wonderful guiding expertise. We both feel that your very special personality, your ease of dealing with difficult people and difficult situations, great organisational skills and your general good humour made the whole experience worth getting as close as practicable to “knocking the bugger off”. Nothing was ever too much trouble for you and you were completely selfless in ensuring that everyone in the group had the best possible experience.”
Rob and Ellie – Auckland, New Zealand.

“The EBC trek was an experience that I never dreamt of having and feel very fortunate indeed to have been part of the adventure at my tender age.  The final stages of the trek pushed me to the limits of my physical capabilities – and I have a great sense of achievement.”
Rob – Auckland, (NZ)

“I just think you are an inspiring leader, guide and most of all woman. You are a great advertisement for our sex!! Go Ann!!!”

Everest Base Camp Trek – October 2009

“Firstly a huge thank you, with your guidance and down-to-earth qualities my experience in Nepal could not have been more unforgettable.When we first arrived in Kathmandu I felt completely out of my comfort zone which changed totally when we flew to Lukla and started our trek. I never imagined that I would love the trekking as much as I did however I am under no illusion to how different this would have been without you, Nawang, our shepa’s and our porters. Secondly Ann the trip has left me a changed person and for that I say thank you. Life returned back to normal amazingly quickly when we got back however 4 months later I know I will return to Nepal with my next goal when returning to climb Island Peak.

Lastly Ann I wish you every success with Trekking4Women and if ever you need a glowing reference I would feel privileged to be able to do so. Forever appreciative to you.”

Everest Base Camp Trek  - October 2009

“Ann has a great philosophy and attitude towards the cultures of the people which made a huge difference to our travels with her. Her relationships she has built up with the staff she works with play a big part in the enjoyment of travel with Ann. Wouldn’t hesitate to travel with Ann again when I have saved up…”
Rose – Auckland (NZ)

Everest Base Camp Trek – April 2009
“Ann said to us on day one of the first morning in Kathmandu, that the experience ahead of us would change us in some way …that certainly happened for me and to date when I reflect on the wonderful experience I had, I feel a better person because of it…To sum up in a few words the trek with Ann to Everest was – humbling, gobsmacking scenery, wonderful Nepalese people, great food, great trekking tracks, amazing colours in the ice and snow. The trek took me out of my comfort zone sometimes and challenged me in positive ways. I was so humbled by the Nepalese people in their attitude and compassion they showed towards us, they live such humble lives but are happy and sincere people…I would definitely go again, its a trip that one could do many times and always gain new insights and experiences…. thanks Ann for a awesome experience!”
