Annapurna Circuit 18Day trek

Fun on the snow trail
Posted on April 1, 2018   |      |   

We have just completed the Annapurna Circuit trek, hiking for 18 days (21 if you include the days either side in Kathmandu) with Norsang Lama (guide) and Milan Tamang (porter) through his company High Camp Trekking. We could not recommend Norsang and Milan highly enough. Norsang was very easy to communicate with via email and quick with responses to our questions – and attention that lasted throughout the whole trek. His knowledge of the surrounding areas is extensive and he never grew tired of our questions about plants, people, animals and, of course, the mountains. At every stop our needs were taken care of first and we always felt very well looked after and safe. When trekking through precarious paths we were reassured and guided with a gentle “Bistari Bistrari” (Slowly, slowly) – this was especially helpful over some of the tricky and rough terrain that we covered. Neither of us were sick on the journey and the attention to prepare for the high altitudes was excellent. Both Norsang and Milan are honest, warm and hard working people. Although we met people doing the walk themselves, we feel whey were missing out on so much important information and details about the culture and places that you cannot find in a travel book. It also allowed us to enjoy ourselves and not worry about logistics, as well as employing locals who know the area. We highly recommend Norsang and High Camp Trekking and look forward to our next adventure with them.
