I did this trek twice, once in 1988 and the second time in 1999. Both times we walked from Besisahar to the outskirts of Pokhara with a day spent on a side trip to Kagbeni between Muktinath and Jomsom. If my memory is correct it took 21 days. The high altitude part covered in this shorter trek is awesome but you miss the lower elevation environments which equally awesome in their own way. The 1988 trek was a full expedition with tents, guides, porters, a cook, and kitchen boys as there were few hotels along the way in those days. The 1999 trek was done using the hotels. Things never stay the same and while the more primitive aspect of the trek is gone, the culture, people and scenery remains the same.
Amen, brother. I walked it 1984 and -86 from Dhumre to Pokhara including Dhaulagiri icefall and Annapurna Sanctuary. 25 and 21 days or so. Went with my wife, had a guide and porter, slept in our tent most nights. Have done it also in 2006 and 2009 with Nar-Pho and Tilicho crossing to Thini. These hops are no circuits, they are not going around anything. Road has ruined the trek. Check this one out: Annapurna Circuit Time Machine slideshow: th-cam.com/video/wxXPsO0Zuzo/w-d-xo.html What the Circuit was really like in its heyday.
Same here. I did this in 2007. Had to start in Besisahar - the road didn't go past there... And we walked all the way to Pokhara.... Seems a shame to miss the early and latter parts of the route...
Vlog is just awesome, amazing, wonderful, encouraging, energetic and informative. Stay connected and keep sharing. Thank you very much for sharing the video. I am watching from New Delhi, India.
This was a lot more pleasant to watch than the hardcore climbing videos. Nice to see a video of just the sites and views along the way without the ominous goal of summiting the 8000ers. That said that’s a hardcore hike there’s no way I’d ever be in good enough shape to do it.
A Friend of mine is going for this one in coming October and now I'm also rooting the same in my mind for the next year.. Thanks a ton Adam for this wonderful video.. ❤️ 😊
I hiked solo and without travel agency from Besisahar (why is nobody starting at the "official" starting point? :D ) till Kagbeni this April/May and it was just AWESOME. Will never forget this hike. And i was so proud because i was the only girl i saw around Thorung La Pass who carried her own bag :)
What did you use for navigation? If you have a Gpx file, please share. Was it hard to arrange accommodation at the tea houses each night without speaking Nepali? How much money did you spend per day?
Thanks for sharing. Very useful. My wife and I are planning to do this walk in coming April. Do you think we need to pre book guesthouses and the flight ticket from Jonsom to Pokhara? Could you recommend your porter or the agency you got the porter from if you were happy with them?
What camera or cameras did you use to film this? Nice work! It looks like an amazing trip. Nepal is number one on my list right now. I´ve been putting it off because I overthink things. I just need to buy the ticket.
Quick question, I saw you were in sneakers. Is it possible and safe to do the whole trek in the trail running shoes (Nike Wild Horse 7) in mid April? Otherwise I’d need to buy boots in Nepal and then sell them
amazing video. what trekking company did you chose? i really want to do that trek for a long time, but between toddler, self employed etc... not the easiest to organise as a solo person ...thank you ..

Well said. I just did the whole thing and loved the lower parts as well.
Happy to see :) Adam and Eric's Annapurna adventure. It was a pleasure serving you! And we never say goodbye but see you soon in the Himalayas. 🙂

Nice one!! did the trek in 1994 would love to do it again
You wouldn't even recognise it now except for 3 days. Lucky you did it in 94
What an amazing 10 day adventure! Even Katmandu looks like a great place, just to sit back have a few beers, and watch the world go past. Cheers
Wowwwwwwww😍😍😍
Great brother♥️♥️
amazing journey!
wow...wonderful
Welcome to you in nepal.l hope you enjoyed your trip.
i stayed there too while being in Manang,, i would suggest to go to ice lake to acclimatize an amazing place to be.
Is seems that there are a lot of jeeps on the track ?
Thanks

That’s amazing! I wish I had more time. But I had to get back to my five kids at home.
I never see Nepal in real life but i want to visit Nepal🥺
I love Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Nice..Did Chame to Manang via Upper pisang in late 2019 but had to turn back..Nice to know in April you didnt have snow at Thorong La!!
beautiful nepal
Nice ❤️❤️❤️
Cracking video, really enjoyed it. Going to Nepal for 1st time in april, but I'll do appapurna base camp, would like to do this after another time
Beautiful video but you did NOT do the circuit. Sad because people will think that's the trek. Maybe change the title?
Cool
Thanks for sharing. Very useful. My wife and I are planning to do this walk in coming April. Do you think we need to pre book guesthouses and the flight ticket from Jonsom to Pokhara? Could you recommend your porter or the agency you got the porter from if you were happy with them?
hi guys! what an awesome video. What do u think I need to prepare before the hike ? stuff and physical exercises like that. Thank u
Anna 3 is the holy land
What is the music as soon as the video starts?
From March 1 no more solo independent trekking on the AC. Only with a guide. Sad, sad times.
Why month of the year did you guys go? Looks really good.
good on you boys - I don't see anyone weeping for the lack of protein. I will follow you soon.
What camera or cameras did you use to film this? Nice work! It looks like an amazing trip. Nepal is number one on my list right now. I´ve been putting it off because I overthink things. I just need to buy the ticket.
We shot most of the video on my IPhone 13 Pro. But we do have a few shots on a GoPro 7
✌️

Otherwise I’d need to buy boots in Nepal and then sell them
I wore on clouds the entire time, but I did bring a pair of hiking boots that I never put on because it didn’t rain or snow on us
❤️
May I know which camera to record your hiking? The quality so good
❤❤
amazing video. what trekking company did you chose? i really want to do that trek for a long time, but between toddler, self employed etc... not the easiest to organise as a solo person ...thank you ..
Awsome video sir! Can you tell me a name of agency that you use for this trek, we are going over there in a Aprill 2023.? Thank you :)
Himalaya Discovery. They did a good job.
Hello Adam - which hotel did you stay in Kathmandu. Looks like it has a nice view
It was the Kathmandu View Hotel.
Hey Adam. Loved the video you shot of Annapurna Circuit. Please can you tell me what camera you used to shoot the footage. It looks great. Ta aF
