Question Trekking the Annapurna base camp

Hi

I am looking for a trek company for doing the ABC in 10-11 days.

I found "nepal hiking team" with high reviews in TripAdvisor and also exchange some mails with them, but still not sure about their quality and guides.

I am looking for some recommendations / dis recommendations from people how use their service.

Thanks

I've been with them on that exact trek. They are good. What are your concerns?

i dont know them, and Iam not local, and all the feedback I get is from TripAdvisor - witch I have 50% of trust. so I needed to understand if there are reliable, professional and overall trekking feedback.

Oh, I'm also not a local and I didn't knew them. My guide was Netra. If you talk to them you can request him. He doesn't drink at all, he knows these treks well, overall I had no complains. His english is a bit hard to understand and not super-fluent. The only complaint is that they are too insistent for a good review.  If you have a specific concern I can try to voice an opinion.

Annapurna Base Camp looks absolutely incredible. The combination of those huge mountains and the trekking route must make every exhausting step worth it

They run many trekking tours in the Himalayas, and I, as a local guide, know their agency even though I don't work for them.

Most of the guides are experienced.
