About this experience
Annapurna Circuit Trek is an iconic journey through Nepal's subtropical forests, charming villages, and high-altitude Himalayan ranges. When you don't want an all-inclusive package but something simpler, cheaper and more personal, I will be more than happy to guide you. This adventure is perfect for individual trekkers or groups seeking a blend of natural beauty and cultural immersion. Having spent my whole life in Himalayas, I can't wait to create a custom experience to show you the beauty of this place.
