I have always been captivated by the majestic Himalayas, and the Annapurna Circuit Trek was truly a dream come true for me. This incredible journey will forever be etched in my memory. The vistas of the towering mountains were nothing short of surreal, and the cultural encounters were truly eye-opening. Navigating through the trek, we gained insights into the local customs and traditions, enriching our experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this trek to anyone seeking an authentic and unforgettable adventure in Nepal.
This 16-day trek through the Himalayas, without reaching Everest Base Camp, is a journey filled with breathtaking landscapes and rewarding physical challenge. With stunning mountain views and varied terrain, it’s a memorable experience for those ready to face the altitude and enjoy the natural beauty of the region.
Llegamos a Nepal con una plan de trekking poco viable y con la ayuda de esta agencia reorganizamos nuestra estancia, resultando todo un éxito. Desde el primer momento, entras en un clima familiar, de confianza y seguridad de estar contratando un buen servicio, gracias a la atención diaria y trato cercano de Gokul. Nos tramitaron los billetes de KTM a Lukla y ante algunos pequeños imprevistos, siempre contamos con su respuesta immediata. En medio de nuestro trekking por libre, contratamos la actividad de ascención al Lobuche Peak. Destacar la flexibilidad y adaptación a nuestras necesidades, y también la profesionalidad de Phuri, gran climbing guide y mejor persona! En resumen, estamos muy contentos con el trato de esta agencia y sin duda lo recomendamos al 100%. Namaste Gokul y equipo 🙏
Enjoy the grandest journey in the land of the Himalayas with our 16-day, guided trek to Mount Everest Base Camp. Your adventure to the base camp begins with a rather scary flight to the mountain airstrip of Lukla, at 2,800m elevation, and passes through the picturesque Sherpa village of Namche Bazaar to reach Gorakshep.
The high point of this journey is the ascent of Kala Patthar (5,500m) from where you can soak up stupendous views of Mount Everest and its surrounding peaks. You will spend most of the trek above the elevation of 3,000 meters in Khumbu and Imja valleys, whose skyline is dominated by the massive peaks of the Eastern Himalayas.
Along the way, you will get the chance to enjoy the culture of the Sherpa people, see ancient monasteries and learn how Lamaistic Buddhism influences the Sherpa life. Beautiful, multi-coloured prayer flags and prayer wheels along with intricately carved mani stones line every hilltop along the route.
Travellers who are physically fit and have a sound health can book this adventure. Some experience in high-altitude treks is preferred. For more experienced hikers who wish to take up the challenge, we suggest an Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lakes trek.
