I could not have more positive things to say about the the team, particularly our guide Ganesh. Ganesh was an excellent and knowledgeable guide, always making decisions with our safety and wellbeing in mind. I was not 100% well during our trek and Ganesh was caring and concerned, ensuring I was well enough to push on each day. Ganesh had great rapport with the guest houses and our porters Ajeet & Anish. I would strongly recommend the team, and Ganesh specifically, to anyone looking to visit the Annapurna region.

Is the Annapurna Trek Challenge Right For You?
Discover if this adventure is right for you
Physical Challenge
This is a strenuous trek requiring good stamina. Summit day to Thorong La Pass involves 8-9 hours of walking at extreme altitude. You should be comfortable with multi-day hiking.
Experience Required
Previous high-altitude trekking experience is beneficial but not mandatory. A high level of determination and a positive mindset are essential.
Comfort Level
Accommodation is in basic teahouses with shared facilities. Expect simple but hearty meals. This is an adventure, not a luxury holiday!
Worried About Altitude Sickness on the Annapurna Circuit?
Altitude Mountain Sickness (AMS) is a primary concern for many trekkers, and rightly so. The good news is that our 16-day itinerary is expertly designed to minimize the risk. We include a crucial acclimatization day in Manang and maintain a slow, steady ascent profile. Our guides are trained to recognize and manage AMS symptoms, ensuring your safety is our top priority.
