Annapurna Circuit Trek - 15 Days

My boyfriend and I decided to do this trek and jump straight in the deep end with not much trekking experience let alone at altitude. We couldn't have been happier with Dawa our guide and Ravindra our porter. Right from our pickup at the airport all the way through to our final dinner in Kathmandu, we were always looked after so well. Dawa was also very experienced and knew a lot about the circuit as well as the history and culture of Nepal. We learnt so much and are so pleased we this trek.

The pre-trek conversation was amazing. Upendra, the director of the company answered so many nonsense questions. The whole trip was a beautiful memory for us. Our guide Dawa and porter were very patient, helping and caring. We wouldn't have made the trip without their continuous support. The dinner at the end arranged by the company was amazing. Foods and accommodation during the trek were great especially when we met many other trekkers ending with complaints about their guides and poor quality lodges. Flying home soon with lots of great memories!

Unfortunately, our flight to Lukla was cancelled for 2 days and we decided to divert to Annapurna Circuit Trek as we didn't have more time to wait. It was definitely a great trekking worth doing.

We were so blessed with weather almost throughout the journey (the pass day was not clear). The trek was amazing, a little disappointed as we couldn't do our originally planned Everest Base Camp Trek due to weather, everything else went great! Very happy with the company and their performance!

We were diverted to Annapurna Circuit as our originally planned Everest Base Camp Trek couldn't happen however we are very happy with Annapurna Circuit Trek. Everything was great, we were so blessed with weather and the route was relatively peaceful. The villages specially above Pisang are amazing with great views of Himalayas. A little disappointed with Everest weather but we will be back soon!

I am upset that we couldn't go to Everest Base Camp, however, I am happy that we made all the way to Annapurna Circuit and crossed Thorong La Pass at 5416M which is the highest altitude that I have been to. When the plan to do Everest Base Camp was failed we 4 people decided to go to Annapurna Circuit which was definitely a great recommendation. We will be back to do Everest Base Camp soon! Thank you for a beautiful trekking in Nepal, we loved it!

Thank you, Upendra for inviting me to share my opinion about the trek. Well, I had a fantastic time with you and your company during my Annapurna Circuit Trekking. I am very satisfied with your tour plan and all the services. I am glad to recommend you to other people. Even though the flight from Jomsom to Pokhara wasn't possible, you did a great job arranging alternative way within very short time. It was really a great experience.

Excellent! Great company and excellent trip organizing! Happy to travel with them.

I did the AC mid of April and joined another booking. So in the end we've been three girls (more or less the same age) from three different countries doing a 15days trip together! Starting off as strangers finishing as friends :) The whole procedure beforehand (communicating with Upendra via email, getting all information I've asked for a short time) was really helpful and supportive. Good customer service in the first place, thanks for that! The trek was more than amazing and we've been so lucky with the weather. Our guide KV knew a lot and shared a lot of stories with us. We all got along quite good and it was really convenient for us that we didn't have to worry about anything. The food and the guesthouses have been tasty and comfortable. We've also decided to hire two porters to support us on the way which was a good choice in the end. In case one of us got sick and couldn't carry so much we had a good back up. None of us had any issues with the altitude as the trip was perfectly planned so our bodies could acclimatize well. The only issues what we had with our guide were some misunderstanding in communication - nothing major though (not too sure if that was a language problem or a cultural problem). KV was really keen on doing a good job but sometimes felt disrespected if we've preferred to do things in a different way (e.g. eat something else). I would definitely recommend the company and the trek. I've got more out of this than I've expected. My plan is coming back to Nepal and doing another tour with them.
