I really liked it. Everything turned out exactly as I had imagined. I saw and experienced the Turkey I wanted: with a multitude of activities, where every day is an exciting adventure. I would like to note that a great deal of thoughtful organizational work is visible, which made the tour interesting and memorable. Thank you very much for that, Evgenia.
This tour will be suitable for those for whom vacation is associated with constant activities, new impressions, and exciting adventures. It will also be a good support for those who decide to try a big hike along the Lycian Trail, as here you can walk its small central section.
Trekking around Annapurna (ACT) with Lika is more than just a trail. I returned from the route and am still impressed. Lika is a true guardian of traditions and an expert on Nepal. Locals call her DiDi (elder sister, mentor)
1. Deep immersion in culture. She doesn’t just lead you along the trail, but explains why stupas were built this way, where these prayer wheels came from, and how to greet locals properly. With her, you understand the soul of the country better, rather than just ticking off kilometers.
2. Efficiency and safety. In Nepal, logistics can easily go off plan (weather, health, accommodation). Lika solves any issues in a matter of minutes. While other tourists in the lodges were arguing about spots or waiting for problems to be solved, we were calmly resting. At the same time, safety is rock-solid.
3. Authority among locals. This is a whole separate topic. Thanks to her 18 years of experience in the region and a very serious approach to organizing every detail, Lika is respected by everyone: from lodge owners to porters. For us, this meant the best service and priority solutions in situations where others got stuck. If you want to complete the trek without any “headache,” but with full immersion in the context — Lika is your person.
At the moment, this is the best group trip we've ever had — everything came together in the best possible way. The program is very well-balanced, in my opinion, and the trekking and cultural parts perfectly complement each other.
Lika is the best! Thank you so much for your support, for organizing our daily life, leisure, and transfers, for the wonderful atmosphere, a huge amount of useful information, and excellent acclimatization.
We’ve traveled with you more than once, and we’ll definitely use your offers again. Strannik is already a mark of quality and a guarantee that the organization will be top-notch!
