When people say “the camera and equipment does not matter, it’s all about the story telling” … well, the visual quality *does* matter and makes a huge difference.
camera quality make place like fairy tale
I agree, especially lens quality makes a significant difference in the visual impact.
What a work of a camera!!!👏👏..true colour of the nature as it is....and very nicely narrated...thank you for showing,Nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵 to the world
I found the hidden land of Shambhala by researching the Ngorpa Schools Kalachakra text. I also studied tibetan for five years at Paris University.
This looks absolutely amazing! I’ve been wanting to hike this circuit for so long and this video just keeps that dream going!
This brings back great memories!! Thanks for the great video work! My wife and I did this in our late 20's in 1991 (we're in late 50's now). Back then we had to walk 21 days to get around (no roads, electricity, shops, restaurants, toilets, showers!!!!). The toilets in the villages were HIGHLY dangerous: a hole in the ground with a few planks across. There wasn't a lot to stop you falling in - and that could be the end of you! We took 28 days to go around the Annapurna Circuit and up into the Anapurna Sanctuary and back to Pokarah.
That is amazing! I wish I could have experienced it back then but still glad our video brought back great memories from the trek!!!
I walked the Annapurna Circuit in early December 1989. I remember unsealed roads, intermittent electricity, homely restaurants and pit toilets. A "hot shower" was a large basin of steaming hot water and a private room to wash yourself in. "Restaurant" sometimes meant sitting at the family table and eating from their meal of dahl bat. The walking was exhilarating, exhausting, humbling, truly a growth experience. I loved it so much I went back again in 1991 and trekked the sanctuary.
amazing views and perfectly narrative, loved it every single moment. Thanks
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video. The best from Annapurna circuit!
Thanks a bunch!
This video is fantastic! We are going next April, can't wait!
Wonderful! I loved your narration. It wasn’t one of those “we conquered the mountains” ego-tripping videos so common on TH-cam. It was gentle, informative and interesting. The footage was fantastic. Some great angles. Well done!
Thank you!!
This is one hell of video !!! One of the best i ever seen about treking in Annapurna !!! Congrats guys
Thanks!! It was an amazing experience
Awesome, Mother Nature and village life's in Nepal. JAY NEPAL
This maybe the best scenic video ever seen. Gorgeous video. Looking forward to doing this trek soon,I’m hopeing, you’ll continue with that kind of work great effort guys Thanks guys!!!!🏔🏔🏔
Thank you so much for this comment. We just posted a video on the West Highland Way in Scotland, make sure to check that trek out!
Gorgeous video. Looking forward to doing this trek soon

So beautiuflly taken all the shots and audio is just lovely. I kept listening and watching it until the end. Thank You So Much for this lovely video.
Fabulous camera work, well done. Can't believe the weather you had.
Thanks! And yeah, perfect weather the entire time we were on the trail
Your way of taking video is fantastic ....great work good keep it up...
Congratulations on the most visually stunning Himalayan trekking video I have ever seen.

Thank you so much!

Wow video quality is amazing Keep bring more Nepal rural area videos I'm excited
Thank you!
Great video, thanks for sharing, this will be my next trekking location in Nepal, it was very informative. Thank you
My pleasure 😊
Great coverage.
Hello from Oregon -- Thanks for the lovely video of your trek around the Annapurna range; your excellent camera work, soothing narration and gentle background music was delightful. 46 years ago in the Fall of 1977, I had recently completed a 2 1/2 year Peace Corps assignment in a Gurung village about 7 hours NW of Pokhara and had the opportunity to make this trek as Manang had just opened to outside visitors. There was no tourist infrastructure in that era, and I stayed with random local families each night during the 26-day trek around the mountains. It is nice to see that the Manang Valley has developed in a responsible way with healthy forests and prosperity for local people. Thanks again for bringing to mind memories of an adventurous and really fun time in my life. Best wishes and safe travels.
That sounds truly amazing and very lucky to have such an authentic experience!
Your cinematography is rich and gorgeous, the narration calm, clear, observant, respectful, the editing clear and clever. It all brought back loving memories of this beautiful place. Thanks.
Thank you and I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Very informative video, and also great videography
Thanks!
Wow what an amazing presentation
Nice video and awesome place in the world I have been this place 12 yrs ago.....annapurna conservation area .....🇳🇵
Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Just reminiscing about the time we did this circuit back in 1989. No guest houses in those days :)
Wow that would have been an amazing experience!
Thank you for the detailed information. Your narration is great and the views are heavenly.
Thank you so much!
I can't take off my eyeballs from beginning to the end.This maybe the best scenic documentary ever seen ❤❤❤.Big Thanks to the camera man. Love from Bangladesh ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, lot of work bring around my camera & stabilizer 🙏
Beautifull 🥰 very inspiering. Thank you for showing us this Trek.
Glad you enjoyed it!
One of The Best Camera Work
Thank you
Stunning visual! Did the ABC trek and it was amazing too. At times it felt like we were in the Swiss Alps, Mongolia grasslands, China bamboo forests and Bali terraced rice fields cos the scenery was ever changing. The ABC night sky full of twinkling stars over the snowy mountains was just gorgeous. And the lovely rivers, streams, waterfalls, incredible sunrise at Poon Hill, great food and friendly locals! Nepal is a beautiful country!
Nice! ABC is suppose to be very pretty, just much shorter than the circuit
Liked and Subscribed. Congratulations on your success! Thanks for letting me see the beauty and share your experience.I hope I can do it in real life some day. Warm regards from India.
Thank you so much!!
Incredible and beautiful scenery ❤
Thank you!
Wow what amazing filmmaking, music and narration. Keep this up and you will be at a million subscribers before you know it. SUBSCRIBED!
Thanks you for this fantastic comment! ❤️❤️❤️
Heavenly views...
Very nice video. I did the same trail in 1994. Amazing the difference.
Wow, I’m sure the differences are huge!!
The best annapurna circuit video I have watched by far
Human and close narration to describe what it takes to fulfill this dream
Congrats
Thank you!!
Awsome Video
I am planing may 1st week for this trek . Thanks 🙏
Awesome! It should be much warmer than what we experienced
Thanks for visiting my beautiful hometown.
Which town is it?
It’s amazing view ❤❤❤quality of video and lovely narration. I am also planning to visit this place ❤❤❤❤
Thank you and good luck with the trek!
You’re such a great storyteller and the visuals were amazing too
Thank you!
Watching your video was lovely. The gentle pace and the relaxing music matched the wonderful country of Nepal. The Annapurna Circuit trek is definitely on our bucket list. Thank you
Thank you so much! We’ll be doing another Trek in Germany this summer/fall and making another video for TH-cam. Be sure to subscribe!
ur video quality is stunning…. ❤❤ just subscribed to ur channel just because love to see more videos like this one…
Thank you! I’ll have a new video on burning man in the next few weeks
We did the same circuit in March this year and had a wonderful time as you did. Thanks for the video. It took me back to those, in retrospective, wonderful moments but one that required a lot of grit and perseverance. And lastly, it is Yak 'Kharka' 🙂 but hey, what matters is your story. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Hello
I really love watching videos of Nepal and I must say, this one is one of the best films I ever had the pleasure of watching. Every scene is like a painting, the calmness of the camera work plus the music, plus the commentaries are just perfect. I really thank you for your effort and I’m hopeing, you’ll continue with that kind of work. Cheers from Bavaria.
Thanks! I’ll have a review of Kathmandu and a Scotland trek next
Wow it felt like watching a movie. I never saw anyone snapping as well as you guys did, I saw this whole video without missing a sec. Awesome video and probably the luckiest trekkers when it comes to weather. Crystal clear throughout. My god some of those shots were just breath taking and I was about to say, few more secs of that town please. and I kept doing that for every small town you showed. And later realized all town are different(some in the valley, some at hills) yet all gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video. I'm surely coming back to watch it again.
Thank you so much for this comment!
We did have amazing weather which was perfect for filming, we did another trek in Scotland(west highland way) that also had great weather(for Scotland) that you can watch on our channel. We’ll also be doing a trek in 2024 in Germany that we plan to film as well.
Thanks again!
Sure, keep up the good works, folks. will look forward to see them, as time favours. @@travelingbutler
Fantastic view... wish to be there...
Thank you
Long live his holiness 🙏🏼🙏🏼thank you so much kailash la 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I did the trek in April. It is stunningly beautiful in the Fall.
I have a friend that also did it in April. He said the weather was much warmer than what we experienced
Thank you for beautiful vedio I have been many time even I saw your vedio fully.
That is so great to hear, thank you!
I just stunning and has no words to express to your this work of camera 👍💥💥💥
Thank you very much!
Thank you for sharing. Heading there in September with my men’s yoga group.
Good luck! Hopefully you have as good of weather as we had.
Went this year with wife for 60th birthday
Only lowlands tho
OMG THE STAIRS !!!
Everywhere. Nothing seemed to ever be down
It was fantastic
The scenery
The food
But most of all the people
I have never felt so blessed and at peace with life
Thank you Nepal
Oh yeah, I’m pretty sure I know the exact stairs you are talking about. Glad you had a good of a time as well did!
Absalutly loved❤ it👍
Thanks a lot 😊
The edit and colour grading made look better and it sunny autumn offcourse
lovely work , your voice made the video more beautifull
Thanks a lot 😊
I came across this video by chance in Korea, and it's excellent. I'll subscribe and visit often.
Thank you so much
Wow so beautiful from nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵
This was great! I felt like I was tagging along. Magnificent scenery. Interesting narration.
I tried to build a map of this trip in Google Maps, but Maps is limited to ten way points. For future videos, perhaps it would be nice to show your location on a map?
Congratulations for crossing the pass and for making this wonderful video.
Thanks for the advice!
We put a map in the new video on Kathmandu, Nepal.
Beautiful Video ❤💯👍🙏
Thank you!
Beautiful movie, thanks for lots of hints and tips, will make it in Autumn. :-)
Hope you enjoy it!
@@travelingbutler Guys, may I have one question, please.
My daugher studies movie making univesity and we discuss the colors and the contrast of your movie on You tube.
From TH-cam it looks the film is like burnt, too much contrast..
My Daughter thinks you probably did not use calibrated monitor, when making it, so you saw it different and I think, this was done by uploading it to TH-cam, because you write it's 4k quality. And I personally doubt, you did it when cutting it and making the movie.
Which version is the right one?
Thanks a lot.
@@Fenda68 Hi! Because we shot this over 8 days(from the morning until late afternoon) the lighting was constantly changing. Then starting in the hot lush fields then going all the way up through snowy Throng Pass, the colors of the mountains and scenery was also constantly changing. Because of this, consistency from one shot to the next was very difficult to achieve. So instead of spending hours and hours color grading the entire video, I went with a different approach to just have all clips be over contrast, and saturated. This was the first video that MANY people started watching on my channel(which I did not expect) so the quality checks that I usually do on my shorter cinematic videos were passed on because I wasn't expecting many views and the amount of time required at the time I didn't believe would have been worth it.
Thanks for the question!
Wow! Nepal is a beautiful country!❤
100% it is
Watching from Nepal. You have captured it really beautifully.
I have been to Manang once on my motorbike. I wasn't very lucky to have this clear view. It was raining the whole time.
Seeing your video makes me wanna go there tomorrow.
Thank you! If you live in Nepal you 100% should go back! October and November seem to be the best time to go with clear sky’s
tfw expecting to see 1m subscribers and you see 868 subs. keep going this is outstanding. probs the best video on youtube on this place
Wow, thank you!
Yeah, I joined TH-cam late so it is MUCH harder to get followers compared to just 5 or 6 years ago.
What a beauty and what a video good camera work....really since beginning to end i dint blink heaven .......great work which camera did u use please tell
Very great country .i like it thank you for video. 😍👍 .
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video! Thanks, now in upper pisang 😅
You are in one of my favorite parts!! Good luck
Beautiful.
This was a really well done video, thank you for sharing. I did the APC in 2003 - before there was any road on either side - and this really captures the views and feel of teahouse trekking. I had decided against redoing this trek (due to the road) but your video definitely makes me reconsider. Would love to know what month you trekked, the Autumn colors are amazing. Well done all around!
Thanks… October
@@travelingbutler Super interesting, I also did it in October but don't remember such vibrant fall colors. I will hopefully find time to go back soon - Manaslu calls me... and Kanchenjunga... and Dolpa... and...
😍😍
Thanks for uploading this amazing documentry, i have visited Annapurna Circuit in Oct-2022 but couldn't complete it due to bad weather and heavy rainfall, but again i'm planning to visit in April 2024
Oh that is too bad! We must have just missed this by a week or two since we did this in late October 2022
💙💙
Wow ❤❤Nice ❤❤❤❤
Thank you
Thanks, I will be heading to Nepal in September for a month and can't wait 🇮🇪🇨🇦🇳🇵
Awesome! Make sure to enjoy the food!!!
Welcome to Nepal

@travelingbutler Beautiful video! Could you tell me please if there is a traffic noise that has been mentioned by people on different sites as you walk along the trek? You do mention it a bit. Was it something that was a problem all the time? On your video, it looks serene.
parts of the trek was a trail that cars/jeeps/motorcycles would use. So yes, you heard some traffic or saw people driving by. Only problem we noticed was the dust, since it was October, it isn't rainy so lots of dust would get kicked up into the air while we were trekking.
Lovely video. You really rushed. Impressive long days. I took 15 days for same route but rested totally for 4 days plus 1 day merely being a acclimation hike. Some would call me lazy, slow and old but I'd like to think I'm imbibing as many moments as possible. I hope it was time of your life and congratulations on an accomplishment that makes even experienced hikers weep and laugh with joy.
Thank you! We were a little nervous since it was are first trek, so we decided to walk longer and have buffer days in case of bad weather, injuries, heath issues, etc.
Well narrated.
Thank you!!
I can say just WOW WOW WOW.
Thank you!
👍👍👍
Thanks
Wow this is absolutely marvellous. I almost cried of joy. These mountains are insane! Do you have documented the route on Kommoot or Maps.Me or anything?
Thank you so much! I did track it on Strava, but if you just do a search for Annapurna circuit trek map you’ll see the route we took
Nice video narration 😊. I did this trail in April during spring. I learned a valuable tip for those wanting to go to this trek. From Besisahar hire a Yak (jeep) and ride up to Upper Pisang for 2-3 days to acclimatise. After that, continue the journey by foot. The views will be 3000 meters and higher from there. I'm from Asia, and I'll definitely return to Nepal again for another hiking adventure. I've subscribed to this channel.
Heaven Nepal 💙
100%!
Beautiful video, thank you! You said that there are three checkpoints. According to the new Nepali Tourism Board rules, you need an ACAP permit and a TIMS card. The TIMS can only be obtained if you have a licensed guide , it is not for indie trekkers. Did at checkpoints ask you for TIMS card or you have no problems to trek with ACAP permit only?
We trekked in October of 2022. New rules for requiring a guide was made in April 2023. Each checkpoint looked at both if I can remember correctly
Iam Nepali but never know about manag how beautiful is, thank you so much explore mang WOW ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
My pleasure 👍
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Spectacular… can do a copy of this with just the music
I have the cinematic video from the Annapurna Circuit trek also available to watch on my channel that has just music.
@travelingbutler How long did it take for you to complete this route and what were the expenses !
It was very nice trekking effert, Photoggraphy was awesome, beautiful.I want to know when did you do this trekking ,in which month? Which camera you used for this stunning photography? who was filming while u were doing trekking?
Two first questions are in the description of the video. I did the filming of my partner(Sam) who also did the voiceover audio.
welcome to Nepal
We spent almost a month here!
@@travelingbutler I hope you enjoyed here
much love
What a beautiful video.
I am planning to do this trek this year in between October and November. So, i want to know that if this trek is possible doing solo without a guide or a porter. Also if you can just give a round figure on how much you spend per person on this trek. Thank you so much.
We went at the end of October. We went solo but I believe the Nepal government has changed the rules so you have to have a porter/guide now. I don’t have a record of how much we spent, but I think we took out $650 USD equivalent for the 8 days and still had extra when we finished. Again, I can’t remember exactly how much we had before starting and you may want to go slower or faster(or longer or on secondary trails).
Stunning videography, lovely narration! Two questions: 1) What equipment did you use to get those beautiful shots? Dedicated videocamera, or video-camera combo? 2) How much did you roughly spend per day while trekking? Reading different blogs and stories around the interwebs, I understood there most definitely is a range in what people spend daily.
Check the description on the video equipment. I think we brought around $30 USD per person per day but had extra just in case it took longer(or trekked longer). We didn’t spend nearly that much most of the time(maybe $20 USD per person per day)
hey what LUTs did you use for color grading? if you used any. Beautiful beautiful shots and great work. Can't take my eyes off for a second. Watching this for the 5th time . Nepal is heaven . Lovely people and lovely country.
Hey, no LUTs used. Just did all the color grading myself in davinci resolve
@@travelingbutler Thank your for your reply :D . Good luck for your next projects . Simply amazing and beautiful
Wish you had showed your meals their food & how they prepare the meals are so interesting & colorful?! Maybe next time!💞
Yeah, we realized that after we came home that we didn't take videos of any meals.
Heyy, the video is really so unbelievably fantastic. Wow. Simply impressive!
I have a question for you. I really want to go to Nepal next year from January to March and would love to do a bigger tour in March. Preferably this one. My question to you is, in which month did you do this trekking tour❤
End of October we did this trek
Super cool camera work and voice over, I’m also going next month as well so not too sure which camera will be best for the video and which camera did you used ? If okey for you please share your’s experiences.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks, everything is in the videos description
Yeah thank you so much for lovely response, expecting more video soon from you 🙏
Nice ❤nepal 🙏❤️🇳🇵
what time of year was this? such good conditions!
End of October
Filleting water bottle.... What brand do you use and how long does it last for sounds ideal...
We used the Geopress water bottle for water filtering. The filter should last over 100 water fills. We still have not needed to replace it yet
Which month was this? It'll be amazing if you did a video about all the best tips and guides needed for this trek when planning it on your own.
End of October
