The most stunning trek you can imagine. The Himalaya’s really are great cathedrals of nature. Walk alongside 3 of the top 10 peaks in the world, with an itinerary set up to ensure you succeed at altitude and make it over the amazing Thorong La Pass at 5,416m. Most competitors do the trek in 2 weeks, missing large sections or not acclimatising properly – the 22 day version means you complete (just about) everything.
Annapurna Circuit Trek
Annapurna Trekking
The Annapurnas are spectacular and create a very different setting to the neighbouring Everest region. The former lays claim to the Annapurna Sanctuary – a natural amphitheatre ringed by mountain giants – and the view from Poon Hill. The latter has Everest Base Camp, the Sherpa heartland and the hilltop monastery at Thyangboche. That said, the Annapurnas are probably the most accessible 8000m range in the world, and contain some of the planet’s most spectacular treks. The foothills are just a short drive from the lake town of Pokhara, and Annapurna Circuit Treks in these lowlands are suited to most hikers.
Both offer big mountain panoramas; the Everest region is perhaps more stark and rugged in appearance, as most of the trekking here is above the tree line. What you cannot escape in either place is the fabulous warm hospitality of the Nepali people and the superb support of our experienced staff on the trek.

Jim Studer Annapurna Circuit TrekAn incredible trek during a less crowded time. Drier and cooler at this time of the year though (crossing the pass we started at -5F).
Liz Smith Annapurna Sanctuary TrekThe trek far exceeded expectations and a few days rest and relaxation at the end was the icing on the cake. The variety of scenery enroute, the great team of guides and porters and the camaraderie between the group made for an all round wonderful experience . The standard of food and accommodation tho basic was surprisingly good and the pace of trekking and breaks was spot on for everyone . We were extremely well led and looked after and learned so much about this wonderful land and its people.
