During the first phase of the Great Himalaya Trail Trek, which was from Kanchenjunga South Base Camp to Makalu Base Camp, we encountered breathtaking landscapes and difficult terrain. The sherpas who accompanied us were invaluable, sharing their knowledge and expertise and adding cultural richness to our adventure. They pointed out hidden waterfalls and offered valuable insights, making the journey both physically challenging and culturally enriching. As we continued on to the next phase of the trek, from Makalu Base Camp to Everest Base Camp, the scenery became even more awe-inspiring. The towering peaks of the Himalayas surrounded us, their snow-capped summits glistening in the sunlight. We navigated through rocky terrain and crossed icy rivers, relying on our sherpa guides to lead the way. Their unwavering support and encouragement motivated us to push through the physical challenges and reach new heights. Each day brought new experiences and opportunities for personal growth, strengthening our bond as a team and deepening our appreciation for the natural beauty of the region.

Annapurna Circuit Trek

The Annapurna Circuit – considered the classic trek in Nepal – is legendary in the hiking community for its unrivalled variety of landscapes. However, few trekking trips complete the route, often skipping the final leg, which means missing out on deserted trails and unforgettable nights in quiet teahouses. We just couldn’t do that. Join us to tackle the full lap, crossing high trails and the formidable Thorong La while 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. Selected departures are led by Valerie Parkinson, Wanderlust World Guide Award winner (Best Tour Leader, 2021), celebrating 40 years of guiding Himalayan expeditions. See Dates & Prices.

The adventure begins with a scenic flight into Lukla, followed by gradual acclimatisation as we make our way through Sherpa villages, including Namche Bazaar, Khumjung, and Khunde. The trek passes through monasteries such as Thyangboche and Pangboche, offering moments of tranquility and insight into Sherpa Buddhist culture. Reaching Everest Base Camp at 5360m (17,585ft) is a highlight, and during the peak expedition season from March to May, you may witness climbers preparing for their summit bids. This Everest Circuit Trek prioritises comfort and sustainability, with stays in Private Comfort Camps and carefully selected lodges.

Our all-inclusive approach ensures that meals, unlimited drinking water, domestic flights, permits, and porter assistance are included, along with a Trek Pack featuring a high-quality down jacket and sleeping bag. Many other treks require extra payments for meals, water, and gear rental, but our inclusions provide outstanding value with no hidden costs. For trekkers looking for the ultimate Everest trek, this high-altitude trekking adventure through Gokyo Lakes, Cho La Pass, and Everest Base Camp is the perfect way to experience the best of the Everest region.
