Annapurna Circuit Trek - 10 Days

I had a wonderful time on the 10-day Annapurna Circuit Trek. Every day brought something different, from peaceful villages and rivers to huge Himalayan peaks and high mountain landscapes. Race was an excellent guide who was always available when we needed help. His knowledge of the trail and local culture added a lot to the experience. Definitely a trek I would remember for a long time.

The Annapurna Circuit Trek was absolutely beautiful from beginning to end. I loved seeing the contrast between the lush lower valleys and the dry mountain landscapes higher up. Riddhi was friendly and professional, and his guidance made the difficult sections much easier. The trek was physically demanding, but the scenery, local villages, and mountain views made every day worthwhile.

This was one of the most rewarding trekking experiences I’ve had. The Annapurna Circuit has some demanding sections, but the views make the effort worthwhile. Race was very supportive throughout the journey and shared interesting information about the villages, mountains, and local lifestyle. The entire trek felt well organized, and reaching the high pass was a proud moment for me.

I really enjoyed the Annapurna Circuit Trek. The scenery was incredible, especially as we climbed higher and the landscape changed from green valleys to dramatic mountain terrain. Riddhi was an excellent guide and always kept an eye on our pace and comfort. The 10-day itinerary was challenging but very rewarding, and I came back with some amazing memories.

The 10-day Annapurna Circuit Trek was an unforgettable experience. The changing landscapes, mountain villages, and spectacular Himalayan views made every day exciting. Our guide Race was very friendly, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the trek. He made sure we were comfortable and explained the local culture and places we passed along the way. Crossing the high mountain pass was definitely the highlight of the trip.

Annapurna Circuit trekking with Alliance Treks was great experience. My guide Riddhe and Porter Res was terrific. I recommend this company to other people and I come again.

Alliance Treks & Expedition was true to everything they promised. My wife who loves to hike but not at high altitude joined me for 6 days of exploring Kathmandu city and three days of hiking outside and around Kathmandu. Those three days hiking were magical with Guide Jaybir and porter Lama. They were such a great team and fun to hang with!. Both teaching us about local customs, plants and fawna and some history of Nepal. Kul, president of Alliance Treks & Expedition came recommended by a friend in Canada who had trekked with Kul many times 15-20 years ago.

Over the last 15 years the Annapurna Circuit has changed and adapted to the needs of the Nepali. New roads and electricity now reach deep into the Himalaya. So Kul and his team created a custom itinerary for me to trek solo with Lama as my Guide and Porter. But Lama was so much more than Guide and porter. He anticipated my every need before I needed. Lama found off shoot treks to help me acclimatize to higher elevations ahead which was critical to my continued enjoyment and comfort. Lama was also a great listener. At first I was bit nervous spending 16 days with someone I hardly knew, but within 24 hours we felt completely comfortable with each other.

If you are solo trekking Lama is my first and only choice for a porter/guide.
If you are two or more trekkers Jaybir and Lama are a great team.
For me the Annapurna circuit was dream come true and a pilgrimage to be among the most majestic mountains in the world and to spend time mingling with the Nepali people and trekkers from all over the world. Kul, Lama and Jaybir made it a complete and fulfilling experience of a lifetime. Thank You Alliance Treks & Expedition

I first did the Anna Purna circuit a 14 day trek that I had hear about many times over the years.
I was set up with an expert guide and everything went extremely well.
We hiked in very pleasant weather conditions and my guide Jay Bir possessed a wealth of information on the local plants, animals and cultures that we encountered along the way.

Annapurna Circuit Trek is always my favorite trekking in Nepal. I always suggest the local not to ruin the best trekking trail but I am not the one to control Nepal bureaucrat however I am keep telling everyone to preseve Annapurna trekking trails. I still enjoy the trekking because Manang is my next home and Thoron-La (5,416m) is my play ground. Alliance Treks organized this my 5 times Annapurna circuit trekking and I always feel younger after doing trekking.

This time I did in Autumn but next time in Spring.  Thank you Kul listening me always for my interest of trekking, you are the best man in the down my brother. I use your company for the next time also and never hesitate keep telling about your company how good you are and how professional your company is. Many people plan to do this trekking but could not complete but I am always attentive and listen my guide so I safely complete it.

Keep doing best and my favorite guide Hise Lama is my guide for next trek too.

Thank you,
