Wonderfully organised throughout. Unfortunately I became ill towards the end of the trek, but the team handled everything professionally and efficiently. It was reassuring to see that they had well-established procedures in place to deal with almost any eventuality.

Join us to tackle the full lap, enjoying superb views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains and the ever-changing scenery. Based in teahouses throughout, we spend time in villages inhabited by many of Nepal’s different peoples, both Buddhist and Hindu.
