Annapurna hot spring trek Nepal

I recently went on the Best Hot Spring Trek with Ajeeb Bhatta from Adventure A One Treks and it was an absolutely incredible experience! Ajeeb was an incredibly experienced and knowledgeable guide who made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire trek. The scenery was breathtaking - the hot springs were a highlight! We were well looked after with amazing food and accommodation, and Ajeeb was always available to answer any questions. I would highly recommend this trek to anyone looking for a memorable and unique experience. 5 stars!
