From the world-famous Annapurna Circuit linking villages and passes for 14+ days to shorter Annapurna Base Camp treks, we offer bespoke tours run by expert guides that combine comfort and adventure. Read on to discover why we are Nepal's top trekking tour operator.
Conquering the Annapurna circuit trek
Our flagship two-week Annapurna Circuit trek begins in lush, sub-tropical foothills before progressing to the arid high mountains. The diverse terrain showcases quintessential Nepali villages, raging rivers, rhododendron forests glowing crimson and of course, jaw-dropping Himalayan views. The route crosses two 13,000+ ft passes - Thorung La and Kopra Ridge - which require fitness and determination but deliver once-in-a-lifetime vistas.
The Circuit loops up to Muktinath temple, an important Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage site before descending through peaceful villages like Marpha (try the apple pie!) and jagged valleys. Our expert guides pace the trek perfectly while porters carry your luggage between traditional teahouse lodges. Hot showers, cozy beds and hearty meals like dal bhat after each day of trekking promise comfort. With personalized support, Insider knowledge of the trails and a slower pace for proper acclimatization, summiting Thorung La Pass culminating in views of Annapurna I is incredibly rewarding!
Discover Quaint Villages on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek
For those short on time, our 6-7 day Annapurna Base Camp trek transports you directly into the heart of the Annapurna range without covering the entire Circuit. Beginning from Nayapul, the route follows the Modi River via lush forests and farms to the Himalayas Hotel, where the majestic Annapurna South Face towers 10,000 ft straight overhead. The focal point of the trek is Machhapuchhre Base Camp situated at 13,550 ft and encircled by snow-capped Himalayan giants on all sides. Witnessing the sunrise from here, lighting up the icy pinnacles in golden hues, is an exceptional experience.
More moderate than the Circuit, the Annapurna Base Camp trek still offers plenty of challenge while showcasing traditional Gurung villages, hidden Buddhist shrines and grand mountainscapes. Watch avalanches rumbling down Annapurna I and glacier-capped Gangapurna while your guide shares native tales about these revered peaks. Return via bamboo forests and lush rhododendron groves to complete your Himalayan adventure!

We took his taxi to the hotel and he came to see us the next morning and discuss with us our desire to trek the Annapurna base camp.
We went to his office and wanted something very slow, suitable for our small group of 4.
We were quickly to find a suitable trek and arrange everything for the next day’s departure to Pokhara.
We were also helped in advising us on equipment we needed, which is fairly cheap to buy in Kathmandu.
You can get everything you need including lifestraw filter bottles.
We saw some pretty bad guys up there letting their porter carry double of what we had.
