Hey thank you for encouraging our dialogue. I am planning to book a trek around the Annapurna region. I really would love to do Tilicho Lake. How dangerous are the roads exactly? This is my only worry!!!
Why do you call less than half of AC a "full circuit"? I would now not call anything but Bhulbhule to Dhanpus Phedi near Pokhara a "full circuit", which takes at least 18 days. Also: why dod you not walk the amazing high trail via Ghyaru and Ngawal which is the true highlight of the route (no road there either)?
Hi, I am planning to go there in the beginning of Sep this year. Did you go thru any tour packages or just go there on your own plan? Do you need to pay for the porters' accommodation and meals? Thanks.
I went to Nepal about 10 years ago when I was 18, and went on this circuit. I stayed at many places in this video even!! I think about it soo much, the smells, the changing of the landscape as we got to abc was truly astonishing. I’m planning my next trip back very very soon ❤
Guys I came across your channel recently while I was searching for Nepal . I was amazed about the cinemátics and the beauty . This is the best detail video about the trek I found online , you really helped me guys to understand everything I need to know about the trek . Thank you ! Mikaella
That was a complete guide from begining to end. That explains pretty much everything to everyone.Thanks for the visit, Can't wait to see more from you guys.
Hello, can’t wait for your EBC trek video. Very glad to have meet you guys at the airport today. Enjoy your stay in Nepal and wish you a very pleasant and a safe trek ahead. Love the videos that you upload. Very informative and the narration is beautiful. Seriously again can’t wait for your next trekking video. Enjoy🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
I did this circuit in 1986 when there was no road from Besisahar onwards. We literally walked from Besisahar to Pokhara in 20 days. We did not see a single motor vehicle. I have wonderful memories!
We're going to do this trek in november. Really looking forward to it! You video helps a lot with the preperations :) We were planning to do it without guid or porter, but we found out since this year it is obligated.. How would you recommend to arrange a guide? Do you need to book in advance or can you also find one the day before? And did your hotel or an agency help you with it? Also how much do you tip them at the end?
I did the circuit 2x without any help. No problem. Walked from Kathmandu and back. No hot water in most places, so I brought a coil heater for the water.
@@LetsMeetAbroad yes, now most of the hanging bridges are new. It was very scary when we crossed on the two long tree just bundle with some rope. Instead of bridges. Lots of memories. Also we (2 members team) stayed onr night in a cave near Fishtail base camp. Sorry can't remember the name of the cave right now. My best wishes to you and your partner for future adventures in Himalayas.
Hey Guys, Loved your Annapurna Circuit videos and especially this travel guide! Super helpful. Thank you so much!! A few questions: Did you go in the beginning, middle or end of September? Did you just use the blankets that the lodging provided or did you have your own sleeping bags? How did you find your porter? It sounded like he was incredibly helpful.
Hey David, Thanks for watching, we are glad that the videos were helpful to you. 1. we started our trek around the 10th of September. 2. We didn't carry any sleeping bags or blankets. Everything was provided by the accomodation where we stayed at. They were pretty clean. 3. You can find the porters or guides in Pokhara. Yes, a porter is definetly helpful with bags, directions and also took us to the right accomodations.
You create an awesome video! and thanks for the useful information. My husband and I are going next Spring, we'll be needing a porter. Can you advise on how to find them or if you have any recommendation?
Your guide is really helpful. thanks a ton for a lot of info. I'm doing the trek from 27th October till 10th November. Is it possible to share the number of the porter who accompanied you?
Hex, what a great video! Thank you so much! We wanna go to Nepal this year, and, please don't laugh about me, can you tell me, how much spiders you have seen 🙈
Nice! Haha no worries, I didn’t see any spider! I have a phobia for frogs myself so I’m always on the lookout for animals. The great thing about the mountains is that there are almost no animals 😃 in Kathmandu there might be more risk, so I would recommend staying in nicer (and cleaner) hotels. Enjoy Nepal! 🇳🇵
Hey, Thanks for this really detailed video, it's the most useful for the Annapurna Circuit Trek on the whole TH-cam. :) We are planning to go in September and though I watched a lot of videos it proved the best :) Namaste!
Thank you for watching. We're glad that you enjoyed the video and got some value from it. If you have any questions regarding the trek, you can reach out to us on Instagram.
@@LetsMeetAbroad Hello hello, thanks for the video.. very helpful.. Can you just explain a little about your trip from Manang to the Tilicho lake? Where you stayed and how long it took you? We are planning to do the Annapurna Circuit and visiting the Tilicho lake but worried we wont have enough time for both. thanks in advnce!
Hi guys! Thanks you for the video! It's very interesting! How did you get the porter?? Did You find it directly there!? Nothing was reserved in advance??
Thank you for taking time to explain each and everything from permit to socks..kudoos..one question how you booked your porter/guide. Hsve you done it in advance or after reaching pokhara..
guys thank you so much for this super informative video! i am planning to do this trip, hopefully next year in March. would you say 4 weeks is enough to have a good experience in Nepal? thanks again for the great content 💕
We found a local bus which picked us up around 10 or so, but it was never on time and there are so many buses going along this route. We arrived in Pokhara in the evening around 7pm because of traffic jams near Pokhara
Everything is possible 😄 but you for sure need a good fitness level for that, and ‘mental’ level! Both are not easy hikes and you go back to the basics!
I stumbled on this video and I think it's well done but it also sounds like most people in the comment aren't used to trekking so IMHO the advice on clothing and gear should be accompained by some warnings.... 46 people died in october 2014 on the Annapurna circuit due to a snowstorm, mostly because they were unprepared and inexperienced. Please do your homework,in the mountains even in fair weather you carry what you may need in a storm, and don't expect others (even porters or guides) to always save you and think in your place. When in an hostile environment there are really no shortcuts, personal responsibility is paramount.
Hi guys! Currently adjusting my budget for this trip but I'm really confused as to how much clothing to take. I get that the outer layers are just 1 per item (one jacket, for example). But the inner layers confuse me a lot. Did you take 1 t-shirt per day? How many leggings? How many socks? Etc. Would really appreciate the help!! ♥️
Haha no, 3/4 T-shirts is enough! Maybe look into merino wool clothing, they stay fresh and don’t stink! I had just 1 walking legging (cleaned it every night with baby wipes), 1 shorts and 1 thermos legging for the evenings. 3/4 pair of socks is also enough! Of course things get dirty, but it’s part of it when hiking! You really don’t need that much! There are enough people who have just same set of clothes every day 😀
Ciao! This is Luca from Italy! I’m constantly dreaming about Annapurna Circuit Trek.. your (amazing) video just increase my urge to go there 🤣🤩🥳 A doubt: are there different paths? I read about shorter and longer hike (up to 21 days straight)?
Thank you Luca. Yes, it is an amazing trek, a must do if you love hiking. There are few shorter paths where you can skip the Tilicho lake and finish the trek a bit sooner. And if you want to make it longer, you can avoid taking the jeep in the beginning until Besisahar and the bus ride in the end from Jomsom. As there was not much to see from that place on and we got to spend more days in Kathmandu.
Why did you walk the valley floor from Pisang to Manang, when there is a much better high scenic trail via Ghyary and Ngawal? Also sleeping in either village speeds up the acclimatisation, as they are higher than Manang. Annapurna CIRCUIT goes from Pokhara to Pokhara taking over 3 weeks. How is an 11 day section a "complete Circuit"?
Hi Marc, I believe almost everyone did this route, maybe there was a better trail, but this one was already wonderful!! 😄 we did go from Pokhara to Pokhara, we just used a bus and jeep in the beginning and the end. Wouldn't do it different as well, didn't seem really attractive walking those parts with al the busses etc.
@@LetsMeetAbroad What made AC the "best trek in the wold" was the great geographical and cultural variation along the route, not just hiking over a high pass. There is still a section, very very much core AC, without roads, namely the Tatopani to Landruk trail over Ghorepani and visit to Poon Hill. Amazing views over Dhaulagiri and the Annapurna, Machapuchare etc. That is as much AC as Manang valley. What comes to the high trail via Ghyaru and Ngawal, that has been the "Official AC trail" for a decade already. Because it is a much better and impressive trail, and no road. I walked it already in 1986, when there were no roads anywhere, and even then it was far superior to the valley floor trail. Guides tend to keep quiet about the high route, as they want to minimise climbing, i.e. are lazy and not thinking what is best for the client. It is sad ro hear that trekkers are still unaware of this variation, can they not read maps?

We're going to do this trek in november. Really looking forward to it! You video helps a lot with the preperations :) We were planning to do it without guid or porter, but we found out since this year it is obligated.. How would you recommend to arrange a guide? Do you need to book in advance or can you also find one the day before? And did your hotel or an agency help you with it? Also how much do you tip them at the end?
