Great Himalaya Trail in Nepal

 

ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREKKING

(17 days)

The classic Annapurna Circuit Trekking route along the Marsyangdi, over the Thorong La (pass), 5416m and descent of the Kali Gandaki valley.

This is a magnificent trek in Annapurna region that follows the Marshyangdi khola (river) from the subtropical lowlands to the Manang basin and then crosses the Thorung La (5416m) by descending to the deepest gorge in the world, the Kali Gandaki. The circuit of the Annapurna range is rich in variety and vistas, from the lush green rice paddies of the Marshyangdi to the arid high altitude Himalayan interior, and its ecological and cultural diversity provides the complete trekking experience. As you hike along the way, observing the beautiful mountain scenery and fascinating village life will keep you enthralled, day after day.

TESTIMONIALS

ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREK

"The support staff were very helpful. Sudham and Lakpa were by far the best guide and porter we have come across on the trek. They really made my trek something to remember."

"We were quite impressed with the meeting & handling. Very professional! The trek was very good. Our guide and porter (Ang Kitar & Gopal) were very gentle, good spirited and very helpful. They will provide good support during difficult treks! The camping service was variable but as expected. Our guide was excellent in providing the best possible service from lodges. We knew the standards are limited on such a trek, but they were better than expected. It seems as if our guide picked the best available accommodation. Good support on tickets too. Very good handling from our guide when we came a day earlier to Pokhara from Jomsom, when flights were full.

This is probably for the Nepalese Tourism Ministry. We would like to tell them that its important that trails are maintained. But building roads on the Annapurna circuit would discourage trekkers. No trekker will like to walk on the road with cars!!"

ANNAPURNA TREKKING

"We got to know about Explore Himalaya while browsing the travel sites on the internet. We had a very nice welcome with floral garland and a nice car. Our trek was excellent, well set-up, good acclimatization programme. Guide and porter were both exceptional - top marks to both! Quality of food & hotels was good, surpassed our expectations. Food was always well prepared and hygienic (supervised by guide always).Good service in lodges, all made an extra special effort to provide good service which was nice to know. Our itinerary was very good and excellent, never too much or too little. We had plenty of time to acclimatize. So we always felt good and safe. Overall we had an amazing time, made by your exceptional staff who looked after us all the way."
