The Annapurna Circuit Trek is one of the world’s best trek offering varieties than any other equivalent trek, in term of length, in the world. The entire circuit is 131 kilometers (81 miles) and four of the world’s 10 highest summits, which loomed around us here. The route takes us from sub-tropical zone up to the very edge of the arid Tibetan plateau through snow-capped peaks, picturesque farming village, many waterfalls, mist-shrouded valleys, isolated communities and remote monasteries combining the Marsyangdi Valley and the sacred Kali Gandaki Valley.
After exploring picturesque Manang Village, Monasteries and enjoying the tranquility of Mother Nature during acclimatization day, we then trek towards the Throng la Pass. The climax of Annapurna Circuit Trek is crossing the formidable Thorong La Pass (5416m). It is at the very edge of the Tibetan plateau and affords unsurpassed panoramic views of Annapurna peaks. We visit Muktinath Temple, a holy shrine for Hindu as well as Buddhist. Pilgrims from distant villages in Nepal and India come here every year. There are 108 water shoots from springs and a natural gas flame burns on top of water in one of the temples. Hindus believe that Muktinath is the only place on earth where the five elements (earth, wind, fire, water, and sky) exist in their distinct forms. Hundreds of worshipers bathe in the fountains, ring bells, anoint each other’s foreheads, or simply look on reverently. We can also follow their belief if you want to try.
We will then trek towards remote Lupra village and pass the Dhaulagiri Ice flow fall and the world's deepest gorge. The Kali Gandaki River has made deepest gorge between Dhaulagiri and Annapurna peaks. After spending night at Tatopani and dipping in hot springs, we trek uphill through picturesque village to Ghorepani to spend a night to watch magnificent sunrise from Poon Hill. We will spend the final night at Ghandruk, the most picturesque Gurung Village located on the lap of Annapurna range before descending back to Pokhara.

We did a modified 14-day Annapurna circuit in April 2019. The modified itenerary had been proposed by the agency and it was a great alternative to the usual one with condensed great walks and views.Our guide and porter were really nice and always making sure we were ok. They always tried to find us a room with attached toilet, which was nice.One of the reason we went with this company was the no plastic bottle policy. They did sterilized our water (steripen or boiling) every time we asked and we did not have any stomach issue, so we were really happy with that. One of our other concerns about trekking was how the porter and guide are treated : both our guide and porter seemed to be treated ok. The guide had good gears. The porter gears were ok: not the best ones but far from the worst ones we saw. The guide was knowledgeable when asked questions.Most of the trek went smoothly. Our guide was planning things ahead (and thus spending quite a lot of time on his phone). Once we had to wait quite a while for our transportation to pick us up, but it happened only once in the 14 days and I guess it is normal in Nepal on busy days.The communication with Shreehari before and after the trek was great. I sent him my comments when I came back from holidays and he was happy to take notes of my recommendations. Overall we are really happy with our experience. I would most definitely recommend the modified Annapurna circuit.

Befor the trek, communication with the company(the amazing Shree!!) was fluent and elaborated.
In summary ,
Wonderful experience!!

Me and my friend did the Anapurna circuit. Shree really helped us choose a great trip plan for the number of days we had and answered our every question with huge patience. The best was our incredible porter Ajay who was so friendly and helpful, really made the difference between good and great. Thanks a lot!

We had a a really great time on our trek, excellent views and comfortable accomodation all round. Our guide, Hari, was very knolwedgeable and friendly. As it was our first ten day trek, we were a little cautious of the Winter weather and the high altitude, but with a bit of luck (no snow!) and an attentive guide, we felt very at ease. I decided to take a poter later down the road and Hari also helped organised a reliable and friendly gentleman to join us. The Trekking Team Group also help organise donations to a local Secondary School in need of stationary and school supplies, through a great charity called 'Pack for a Purpose'. It's worth checking out if you have some space in your backpack before leaving Kathmandu, all very organised and an easy way to support the community. Thank you for an enjoyeable experience!

This is ADVENTURE travel, and many of the trip destinations in this site are remote areas, within under developed countries, where events are less predictable than is usually the case in. The unexpected is the norm in these areas and, despite painstaking planning and organization, our adventure trips can never be taken for granted like regular trips. Many of the places that we visit do not have the same quality of emergency health and safety services that you are used to in the developed world. Internal flights can be canceled, road transport is generally uncomfortable and unreliable, and hotels often do not approach the standards of the West.
IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THIS, YOU SHOULD NOT TRAVEL WITH US. This unpredictability also means that the itineraries that we put forward for each of our trips should be seen as statements of intent, rather than as contractual obligations. A variety of factors, including weather, transport difficulties and political instability, might dictate that we change any itinerary. The trip leader will make any changes that are necessary, after consultation with the group. Only rarely will such changes be significant, and we will always do everything within our powers to minimize the effects of the enforced changes. We cannot be held responsible for the results of changes or delays, irrespective of how they are caused.
