I am interested in doing the Annapurna circuit walk beginning around 12 April this year. I am a 26 year old guy from New Zealand, have done quite a bit of hiking here and am pretty fit. Intending to carry all my own gear. Is guiding this walk a service that you offer, and if so can you please provide some details including itinerary, cost, inclusions/exclusions plus anything else you think is relevant? I would prefer accomodation to be sorted by you, am happy to sort out food myself as we go or have it included too if that is easier. Happy also for suggestions of alternative walks, just want to do a ~2 week hike where I get to see amazing views and meet cool people. Ideally would be with a group but open to not being in a group. If you do do groups, what is your typical demographic and group size?

The route we traveled was an amazing transect, starting on gentle paths through terraced fields to steep tracks winding through precipitous gorge country.

I recently completed the Annapurna Circuit Trek with Sherpa Expedition, and it was truly a life-changing experience! From the moment we began, the stunning landscapes captivated me — lush valleys, rhododendron forests, terraced fields, and, of course, the towering snow-capped peaks of the Annapurnas. Every day brought new beauty and adventure. The trek was challenging but incredibly rewarding. The highlight, without a doubt, was reaching Thorong La Pass, standing at 5,416 meters — the highest point of the trek! The view was beyond words, and the sense of achievement was overwhelming. Our guide was knowledgeable and ensured we were well-prepared, safe, and comfortable every step of the way. The culture and warmth of the local villages along the trail were another highlight. We met kind-hearted locals, enjoyed traditional meals, and learned about the rich culture of the area. This trek is a perfect blend of natural beauty, physical challenge, and cultural immersion. I highly recommend the Annapurna Circuit to anyone looking for an adventure of a lifetime. Sherpa Expedition made the journey seamless and unforgettable. Can’t wait to do it again!Show more

Annapurna Circuit Trek with Sherpa Expedition - A Journey of Connection and Inspiration Embarking on the Annapurna Circuit trek with Sherpa Expedition was a journey that touched my heart and soul in ways I never imagined. From the first moment I met our guide, I felt a deep sense of connection and trust that set the tone for an incredible adventure ahead. Sherpa Expedition's passion for the mountains, respect for the local culture, and unwavering commitment to our group's well-being made this trek a truly special and memorable experience. The Annapurna Circuit is a trek that offers not just physical challenges but also moments of profound inspiration and reflection. Sherpa Expedition's careful planning and thoughtful guidance allowed us to immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Himalayas, connect with the warmth of the local communities, and push ourselves beyond our limits to reach new heights. The sense of accomplishment and camaraderie among fellow trekkers made every step of the journey meaningful and rewarding. One of the most poignant moments of the trek was visiting Muktinath, a sacred pilgrimage site revered by both Hindus and Buddhists. Sherpa Expedition's insights into the spiritual significance of the place, coupled with the stunning mountain views and peaceful atmosphere, created a sense of serenity and reverence that left a lasting impression on all of us. The opportunity to witness the blending of faiths and cultures in this remote mountain sanctuary was a powerful reminder of the interconnectedness of all beings. Sherpa Expedition's care and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the trek. From ensuring our safety on challenging trails to arranging comfortable accommodations and delicious meals, our guide's professionalism and expertise shone through at every turn. His genuine love for the mountains and the people who call them home added a sense of authenticity and depth to our experience, making it more than just a trek but a journey of the heart. In conclusion, trekking the Annapurna Circuit with Sherpa Expedition was a transformative experience that left me inspired, humbled, and deeply grateful. The beauty of the Himalayas, the kindness of the locals, and Sherpa Expedition's expert guidance and unwavering support made this adventure truly unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend Sherpa Expedition to anyone seeking not just a trek but a profound and meaningful connection with the mountains and the spirit of adventure.Show more

The Annapurna circuit trek with Intrepid was probably the best things I have done in my life. The guides were so nice, knowledgeable and well organised. The route we traveled was an amazing transect, starting on gentle paths through terraced fields abutting lowland forest, to steep tracks winding through precipitous gorge country, out into open pine woodlands in broad valleys, then into the alpine and eventually a landscape devoid of plants - just rock scree and massive mountains - mountains that take your breath away and change the way you see the world. Mountains that turn from an icy blue to a fiery orange with the first rays of sun. Giants that constantly loom over you and are worshiped by the the locals. You have to go and see this!Show more
