The Annapurna circuit is an extraordinary trek;
one of the world’s best in terms of cultural and geographic diversity. We’ll encounter temperate and conifer forests, follow trails through Hindu settlements to the high Buddhist villages close to Tibet. Our journey offers fantastic mountain views, crosses the Thorong La (5380m) and descends to Pokhara through terraced hills, forests, alpine pastures and villages from different cultures. To top it all we even have the odd hotspring thrown in!!
At the heart of the Annapurna Circuit is Tilicho Lake a fabulous place surrounded by himalayan peaks. We spend an extra couple of days hiking in this area to help us with our acclimatisation.
A trek that gives you a great sense of personal achievement and opens your heart to the peoples of the world.. join us on a journey of a lifetime!

TESTIMONIALS
"The holiday exceeded my expectations by miles; perfect weather, perfect setting, perfect company and perfect walking. I liked the fact that there was a choice of walks and that if you wished, you could opt out for a day. Everyone was so helpful and friendly and I learned quite a few good tips for walking...”
"What can one say about trekking in the highest mountains in the world with Pammy - neither mountains or leader can be bettered!! The trek from beginning to end has been a fantastic experience and the best holiday I have ever been one. We walked in the hot sun, up high mountains and trekked in snow up to the knee all in the same day. It was both frightening and exhilarating at the same time but with Pammy's leadership and management of women and conditions you felt safe. Pammy is the tops!!"
"The holiday absolutely exceeded all my expectations. The scenery was fantastic and varied. There was a good variety of trekking and city visits. The hotel in Kathmandu and Nagargot were fantastic, clean, efficient and comfortable. The transport arrangements were excellent, comfortable and timely on the whole. Pammy was funny, friendly, informative, experienced with the right blend of friendliness and professionalism. She made me feel safe in difficult conditions and was a great source of knowledge and entertainment in equal measure!"
"The Nepal trek was a fantastic trip - it was exhausting, exhilarating, challenging and empowering. How many holidays does one receive a blessing from a Lama.. Nepal is a fantastic country, with wonderful welcoming people. It is rich in culture, with magnificent panoramas and whilst I knew Everest was there, I hadn't anticipated having the opportunity to fly up close…fantastic!!"
"An excellent introduction to a stunning area of Nepal. The sudden adverse weather conditions highlighted Pammy's excellence as a leader in extreme conditions"
"Way beyond the expectations - I came to Nepal with an open mind and I cannot believe the range of situations we found ourselves in. Extreme contrasts in all ways; culture, scenery, people, accommodation and weather!! I felt extremely well cared for; there was constant information given, good preparation, evaluation of events, de-briefing sessions, which all helped to make us feel safe even in extreme events…"
