The dedication to setup the camera and then proceed to walk xxx meter and then go back to pick it up to do it all over again is impressive and your hike is almost doubled!
The extra walk to set up the camera and then go back definitely adds about 20% more to the hike :D But when I’m hiking alone, I have plenty of time, so it’s fun, and it’s great to have a film at the end.
@@justas_hikes and Finally You have created a great film of a great journey. You need a very hard spirit and love of the magical nature to successfully complete these type of long journey. You are very brave and beautiful man. Thank you for creating and sharing those beautiful shots. I enjoyed every shots of your journey specially those up in the himalayan areas.
The thing I loved most about the video was his relationship with the kids and the animals. No football game passed without joining in, no pony passed without a scratch on the back.
So beautifully done, it’s where you’re at, where you’re going, & where you’ve been! just beautiful, blissful, elegant music in the background! Trek on💕
I absolutely love your video………unfortunately I am nearly 80 and my last Himalayan trek is five years ago, not solo of course , but Nepal is so beautiful it made me long for years gone by.
Suddenly I stumbled across this video, and got my heart beat fast to find my beloved soul mate of my young age, when some twenty years ago I was hiking alone. It seems nothing much changed. Massif look on the way to Tilicho. I am hugging all the trek route with my passion of some twenty years ago. Thanks.
@@pankajacharjee4057 I can imagine that this path was even more romantic twenty years ago. But it is still wonderful today. Thank you for joining me on the hike ;)
Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this video. Not only is it beautifully shot but it also highlights the people and culture along the way. An aspect missed by so many other videos. I look forward to following your channel and seeing more stunning videos.
I would also like to thank you for taking the time to watch the video. I’m currently working on my next one and hope to release it in the coming weeks. Thank you so much once again!
I am watching this on my big screen monitor with headphone on. I think this is one of best video. Good job with camera angle and sound. Much love from Kathmandu, enjoy your trip❤
@@justas_hikes and I seriously mean it! It takes a lot of effort, patience and time. Nepal is such an extraordinary place, i'm glad you took me back 🫶 thank you!!
As a hiker/climber from the UK, I have to say this is one of the best videos I’ve seen in a very long time. The images you capture tell a thousand stories with no words needed...this is the quintessential essence of why we do this in the first place. My first trip to Nepal is finally booked for April...I hope to experience what you have. I hope your channel receives the attention it deserves & builds to the point it allows you to financially benefit to help further your adventures. ATB .Wish.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my story and for your kind comment 🙏. I’m sure your first trip to Nepal will be unforgettable! Are you going solo? I’d be happy to share the GPS track I used if you need it. By the way, I’m hiking in Scotland at the moment! :)
@@justas_hikes Yes I'm going solo, but I'm doing Mera Peak to get a taste of altitude before I set my sights on an 8000er. But having watched this adventure of yours unfold, you can be sure that when opportunity presents itself both time & financially, I'll be following in your footsteps. What trail in Scotland or are you following your own path...? At least thankfully you've missed the evil midges...they're legendary b@st@rds over there...!!! Stay safe & I'll look forward to watching the video of your trip. All the best. .Wish.
@@wishdarkstalkaz4050 Wow, I just googled it, Mera Peak is 6461m. , and I already had some trouble at 5416m. on Thorong La! :) I wish you all the best with climbing it! My wife and I are doing the West Highland Way and yes the midges aren't a problem at the moment, but I can imagine how annoying they can get! Thanks again!!
@@justas_hikesThe WHW is absolutely amazing & you'll love every bit of it...& it just keeps getting better the further you go. I'm not sure if you can pitch behind Kings House anymore. If you have the time available when you finish, you gotta go up The Ben. After your compulsory photo with the statue, if you double-back on yourself down the main road you'll come to a small Tesco Express supermarket for some groceries & right outside is the taxi parking point. You can go back on yourself to Glen Nevis camp-site (no pre-booking needed...they never turn a WHW hiker away), then in the morning you're spitting distance from the start of Ben Nevis. Hope you both have an amazing time...!
@@justas_hikes Thank you 🙏🏽 The WHW is amazing...& it gets better each day. Don't know how far along you are but I think you can't pitch behind Kings House anymore..?! Are you going up Ben Nevis once finished...? If so, my humble opinion best thing to do is double back on yourself down the main road (after obligatory photo with the statue...!) & you'll come to a small supermarket Tesco Express to grab some food. The taxi parking spot is right outside. Go to Glen Nevis campsite (they never turn a WHW hiker away at any time of day/night) & then you're spitting distance from the start of The Ben. Hope you both have an amazing adventure...!

Some months down the line you’ll get a million subscribers on your channel, however what will matter and stay till your lifetime are the memories you make and the essence of the trips that you take. I appreciate how beautifully you set the camera angles, doubled back to get your camera, hiked through the beautiful mountains, made this a cinematographic video with soothing music choices and no unnecessary talking. Just shared a piece of the raw life in the mountains with us in the cities. Beautiful presentation upholding the unadulterated ambience ❤ Glad to have discovered your channel in the early phase. May it grow well and bless us with more mountain films.
@@AishiBhattacharyaOfficial Thank you for your kind words and wishes. When I travel alone, I enjoy the silence and tranquility, observing the surroundings while struggling with myself and trying to overcome the mountains. I'm glad I could share these feelings with you🙏
Thank you for making this outstanding video and sharing it with us! I brings back so many magical memories of my Annapurna Circuit trek which I completed in December of 2016. It was life changing! Your video captures the quiet strength and majesty of the land and people. Thank you, again.
@@monicakrise5214 Thank you, Monica & That's why ! made this video - to capture these memories so I can always come back to it and feel the spirit of Nepal again.
Nepal is gorgeous. Treked it 2 yeas ago at 70 yrs old. Will remember it always. Im lucky to live in British Columbia, Canada, which is incredibly gorgeous, even more so than Nepal. Will hike closer to home now that I'm old.
Thank you for sharing your story. It’s impressive. I wish I could hike in Nepal at 70. Did you trek the ACT? Greetings from Switzerland to British Columbia.
A stunningly beautiful video and a great representation of the Annapurna Circuit. I revisited the ACT in 2022 after an absence of over 30 years, and this video has all the feel of my early 90’s trek. It is still an amazing adventure, and this shows it at its very best - great cinematography and beautiful music. You should be extremely proud
Thank you so much for sharing your story, Greig. What an experience! I think it must have been even more beautiful and spiritual there 30 years ago, without roads, GPS, etc.
Simply Amazing!!!! I have been to this place but didnt realize it was this beautiful. Your Video has given a different Viewing scenario..keep up the good work.
Video meraviglioso, grazie per la condivisione. Mi hai fatto venire voglia di lasciare tutto e ritirarmi in un eremo sull' Himalaya! Grazie ancora e buon cammino.
Your content is a testament to the fact that numbers don't always accurately reflect quality. Mind blown. New subscriber. We, travel creators generally grow much slower than other niche but your content is next level.
This is a really good video. Congratulations on doing the real thing, and walking it. I first did the full circuit in 1987, starting in Dhunche and ending right in Pokhara. Then it took about 23 days. I've been back numerous times, most recently last year where we did the Mardi Himal trek. I understand progress, although cars in Muktinath was upsetting to me at first.....
@@steveforman3202 Thank you, Steve, for taking the time to watch! I can only imagine how perfect the experience and spirit were in 1987 (the year I was born) without jeep roads. Personally, I used the New Annapurna Trekking Trails (NATT-Trails) for almost the entire trek, but I can't imagine doing the trek on the roads.
Beautiful image making & story telling without any need for drone shots. I did a 3 week circuit here 47 years ago, Kahli Gandaki valley to Jomson / Manang and over Tilicho pass to descend the Marsyandi valley. Many views and places I could recognise from your video. Timeless places with memories to last a lifetime.
@@justas_hikes We used paper maps! Also (and this was very important for getting over the Tilicho pass) we had a Sherpa guide. I doubt we could have navigated this part without a guide because when you get up to the Great Ice Lake it is a bewildering moraine landscape which takes a good half day to walk across. Maybe these days there is a marked trail but when we did this it was only one or two years after the Marsyandi valley was opened up to tourists so the way was not well trodden.
@@hrsimages1817 Wow, that must have been a unique experience, probably even more authentic and natural. But even today, if you avoid the new roads, it’s unique enough.
You are different bro. I love your style to make videos. You show the real Nepal with out saying any word🥰 I hope you gain many subscribers on future. Love from 🇳🇵
I’m not sure you’d like to hear me speaking, haha. I prefer to observe the beauty of your country and mountains and just capture it in silence. thank you so much!
This is the most breathtaking video in all of TH-cam and I have watched a lot of videos over the years. Brought a deep sense of why we are on this magnificent Earth.
herzlichen Glückwunsch zu diesem tollen Film. Einfach mit herausragender Kulisse gemacht, und es redet niemand, man hat das Gefühl man läuft mit. Da ich auch im Himalaya - Nepal war werden viele Erinnerungen wach, es ist so schön. Für mich das beste Video hier in der Community, wenn es über Trekking im Himalaya geht. Die anderen "quatschen " mir einfach zuviel. ❤Ich habe sie gleich abonniert, ja wegen diesen Video. Vielen Dank
Vielen Dank, bikerschnattchen, für deine netten Worte! Ich freue mich, dass dieses Video dich nach Nepal für einen Augenblick zurückbringen durfte. Und danke nochmals für das Abo!
Puikus filmas nukėlęs į prisiminimus, su didžiuliu malonumu sužiūrėjau. Atmosfera, dėmesys detalėms, o tie veidai kalnuose tiesiog šiurpais apipylė. Sėkmės naujuose žygiuose ir įkvėpimo filmų kūrime. Dėkoju ❤
Superbe vidéo, les images, les couleurs, la musique apaisante, l'idée de ne pas rajouter de commentaires, ce film est une thérapie.......il devrait être financé par la sécurité sociale 😊. Merci pour votre travail.
@@pierrechabert334 Thank you so much for your feedback! Your support inspires me to keep sharing these experiences. And yes, I will ask for funding based on your comment!😁
There is something magic on this video. I don't why but I watched it all without forwarding a single second. It's a great man, keep posting such videos.👏
So einen schönen Film hast du gedreht, lieber Justas. Ohne Worte und doch so ausdrucksstark. Bilder, Musik, Eindrücke. Ich mag die Stille dahinter. Wirklich eine ganz berührende Arbeit. Auch das Erleben dieser, deiner Reise, stelle ich mir sehr nachdrücklich, achtsam, tief im Herzen berührend vor. Fühl dich ermutigt und gegrüßt. ☺
Great Video, hope everyone who reads this will die with many great experiences. Regardless what you are going through, it’s nothing to worry about. You will always be fine, even if it’s the end. This video remembers me, to appreciate even the smallest experiences. Life is a gift❤
Would love to see more work from this creator. What an amazing piece it is. The hikes and solo travels are often filled with this silence with the occasional sound of the village as one passes through it, the children playing and the animals grazing. Awesome work it is
At 20:19 -- 20:45 i was like dang, this is tranquility, this is peace , this is heaven on earth 🙏🏿thank you so much 🙏🏿I just found your video and I love ❤️ it 🙏🏿
Having just discovered this and half way through this I found this to be really amazing. Now the best hiking/traveling video of mine. I really like how instead of just seeing it as a place to go you participate a little bit in the local culture. I have always wanted to spin real Bhuddhist prayer wheels myself.
Thank you so much! It's actually amazing that you liked that random video of mine out of millions of others. Personally, the second half was my favorite part 😊 thanks again!
Wow, what an incredible solo adventure on the Annapurna Circuit! As someone who's always been fascinated by the Himalayas, your video really brought it to life. The culture, the stunning views, and even playing football with the local kids - what an experince! Trekking 260 km without a guide or porter is seriously impressive. Thanks for sharing you journey, it's super inspiring!
@@justas_hikes Hey buddy I understand that you maybe busy it would be great help if you could send me the itinerary for the trek Even I’m planning for the circuit next summer
Incredibly magical video. Your choice of music enchants and relaxes me. Thank you so much for letting me follow your journey. Blessings and warm greetings from Italy.❤🎉
I found your video very inspirational. I have a bad knee, so it is very unlikely that I could ever do the Annapurna. I'm grateful that you took the time to film your journey just to show a part of the world many will never be able to reach. Many thanks!
@@llewcalonogryffedd6152 Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad you found the video inspirational. With a bad knee, maybe day hikes around the villages in the Annapurna region would be an option for you. You could reach the villages by jeep and explore the beauty of Nepal from there.
I Was in nepal late august and i made a shorter trek in Annapurna region, thankyou from the deep of my heart for this video! Simply amazing! This is the pure essence of trekking in Nepal❤. Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou
Thank you so much! It’s great to hear that I was able to share the spirit of Nepal with you again! How was your hiking experience during the monsoon season?
Was great! We was very luck, during trek we had beautiful sunny /cloudy days, raining only on nights! Beautiful to see that we stay in the same lodge in ghorepani 😊😊.
Kocham Himalaje gdyż są to góry przepiękne, najwyższe na ziemi, cały czas pokryte warstwą śniegu, otulone mgłą. 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Widoki sprawiają że uśmiecham się na wspomnienie tego miejsca. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
En este vídeo me sentí como si yo estuviera allí, caminar por esos lugares , viendo los hermosos paisajes ,los ríos,las montañas ,los animalitos ,conociendo personas , probando la comida, conocer sus templos,su idioma,conocer ese país que tanto se habla con su montaña mas alta del mundo que lo caracteriza ,hermoso Nepal 😊 , saludos desde México 🇲🇽
Thanks so much for your serene memoir so beautifully captured. I have trekked along these paths in years gone by and Im delighted to see they don't seem to have changed. "Magic" was the word which recurred over in my head during my hikes there. It was a magical feeling. Makes me long to return.
Your video is such a meditative experience. You did a great job. And your vision of the world is so beautiful. Hope you have more travels and films like this. ❤
Professional documentary style video gave augmented reality vibes. Thank you @justas_hikes. I grew up in North-East India and have family connections in Nepal. Felt the nostalgia.
정말 아름다운 영상입니다. 22년전 이코스를 돌아본 사람으로서 감회가 깊습니다. 게스트하우스가 좀 화려한 색갈로 변하고 시설이 많이 좋아진것 외에 자연은 변하지 않고 그대로의 환상적인 모습입니다. 이 영상작업은 세계의 어떤 거장이 찍은 영화보다도 더 진실되고 아름다운 시선을 보여주는 작품입니다. 이 작품을 보는동안 너무나 행복했습니다. 감사합니다.
Thank you so much, my Korean friend, for this kind comment. I’m very happy that through my film I was able to bring back the atmosphere and impressions you experienced 22 years ago.
Thanks for taking us along on your journey. I did the same Annapurna circuit in 1995 but didn’t take a camera so it was nice to see your images. So beautiful 🙏
wow true inspiration, the way you documented the whole thing is just magical, it seemed like Annapurna really wanted to be looked at and opened its doors for you. much love.....
Dear Sir, I am extremely overwhelmed by your this video about depicting Nepal(My Motherland) in such a precious and beyond beautiful way that words fails to describe.Thankyou for bringing this gift across the world and showing how enrich our country Nepal is.☺️🙂🙏☺️
@@justas_hikes Sir,There are other various plenty of natural and eye-catching captivating places you might have missed such as sheyphoksundo lake.(Deepest Lake of Nepal) Our heartily welcome to you sir 🙂
Congratulations on the video. Fantastic images, great inspiration! It's great to be able to see the culture up close. I felt like I was in the Himalayas.
@@sanguedomar Thank you so much, Lucas! One of the goals of this video was to convey the atmosphere I felt while hiking to the viewer. I’m glad I managed to do that:)
I've been on part of the Annapurna Circuit, but thanks to you, I've been longing to go back and do the whole trail. An amazing, beautiful video. You captured the wildness, rawness, and beauty of nature while adding something of yourself that makes this movie unparalleled. There were two or three parts where I got emotional. You have a talent. Keep doing what you are doing and share it with us. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Good luck to you.
@@tomzalew1 I’m glad I could help you return and revisit the places where you hiked in the past. When I create videos, I always put a piece of myself into them, striving to convey the emotions I felt while exploring the area, even without words. It’s rewarding to read a comment from someone who feels what I aimed to express! Thank you much, Tomasz!
I was already two times in Nepal doing the Everest and Annapurna Base Camp Trek. This video captures the landscape and culture so well, after watching this I probably end up a third time in Nepal soon. Thanks for the great video!
Good guess :) Manasulu circuit is actually my plan. I've heard a lot of good things about it from the local people and I also think the Trek ist very special because it's even more remote and less traveled.
Namasté. Incredible video, perfectly shooted, high quality image.... I did this trek in 2007, it was my first, and from then i never left the Himalayas again. and i returned in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2018 to finish The Annapurna tour trough The Sanctuary and reach its northern North Face. Your showreel has brought bach unfforgetable memories and sensations, and to breath again the atmosphere that I experienced there live during those years. Nepal and Himalayas will always remain in my mind and in my hearth. 🙏
Namaste! Thank you for sharing your story. The Himalayas are unforgettable and I hope to return soon to create new experiences. I’m glad the video was able to evoke your memories.
Beautiful video my man! Im doing this circuit in a month. Your video got me pumped
Thanks man! I’m a little jealous hearing that. Have fun, it’s an amazing place! :)
@@XanderBudnick have you started
The dedication to setup the camera and then proceed to walk xxx meter and then go back to pick it up to do it all over again is impressive and your hike is almost doubled!
The extra walk to set up the camera and then go back definitely adds about 20% more to the hike :D But when I’m hiking alone, I have plenty of time, so it’s fun, and it’s great to have a film at the end.

This is a really good video. Congratulations on doing the real thing, and walking it. I first did the full circuit in 1987, starting in Dhunche and ending right in Pokhara. Then it took about 23 days. I've been back numerous times, most recently last year where we did the Mardi Himal trek. I understand progress, although cars in Muktinath was upsetting to me at first.....
@@steveforman3202 Thank you, Steve, for taking the time to watch! I can only imagine how perfect the experience and spirit were in 1987 (the year I was born) without jeep roads. Personally, I used the New Annapurna Trekking Trails (NATT-Trails) for almost the entire trek, but I can't imagine doing the trek on the roads.
Beautiful image making & story telling without any need for drone shots. I did a 3 week circuit here 47 years ago, Kahli Gandaki valley to Jomson / Manang and over Tilicho pass to descend the Marsyandi valley. Many views and places I could recognise from your video. Timeless places with memories to last a lifetime.
Thank you for sharing your impressive story. How did you navigate 47 years ago without GPS? I'm glad this video could bring back your memories.
@@justas_hikes We used paper maps! Also (and this was very important for getting over the Tilicho pass) we had a Sherpa guide. I doubt we could have navigated this part without a guide because when you get up to the Great Ice Lake it is a bewildering moraine landscape which takes a good half day to walk across. Maybe these days there is a marked trail but when we did this it was only one or two years after the Marsyandi valley was opened up to tourists so the way was not well trodden.
@@hrsimages1817 Wow, that must have been a unique experience, probably even more authentic and natural. But even today, if you avoid the new roads, it’s unique enough.
You are different bro.
I love your style to make videos. You show the real Nepal with out saying any word🥰 I hope you gain many subscribers on future. Love from 🇳🇵
I’m not sure you’d like to hear me speaking, haha. I prefer to observe the beauty of your country and mountains and just capture it in silence. thank you so much!
This is the most
breathtaking video in all of TH-cam and I have watched a lot of videos over the years. Brought a deep sense of why we are on this magnificent Earth.
Thank you. Glad to hear that this video had such an impact on you!
great video, top class efforts and beautifully captured. 100k incoming for sure.
Can't wait for 100k. Thanks;)
Really enjoyed watching this over the course of a few days. Having little moments of respite and being transported away by your video!
Thanks Katketty, I’m glad you hiked along with me and enjoyed the silence.
Man has less subscriber than me but has the worldclass video !

Thank you so much for your support, really appreciate it🙏
love to see more videos. keep making brother @@justas_hikes
herzlichen Glückwunsch zu diesem tollen Film. Einfach mit herausragender Kulisse gemacht, und es redet niemand, man hat das Gefühl man läuft mit. Da ich auch im Himalaya - Nepal war werden viele Erinnerungen wach, es ist so schön.
Für mich das beste Video hier in der Community, wenn es über Trekking im Himalaya geht. Die anderen "quatschen " mir einfach zuviel. ❤Ich habe sie gleich abonniert, ja wegen diesen Video. Vielen Dank
Vielen Dank, bikerschnattchen, für deine netten Worte! Ich freue mich, dass dieses Video dich nach Nepal für einen Augenblick zurückbringen durfte. Und danke nochmals für das Abo!
कौन कौन मानता है कि नेपाल हम भारतीयों का मित्र देश है मैं वीरगंज वोडर से 100 किलोमीटर दूर मुजफ्फरपुर बिहार से हूं ❤❤😊🎁🎁🎁👍
Puikus filmas nukėlęs į prisiminimus, su didžiuliu malonumu sužiūrėjau. Atmosfera, dėmesys detalėms, o tie veidai kalnuose tiesiog šiurpais apipylė. Sėkmės naujuose žygiuose ir įkvėpimo filmų kūrime. Dėkoju ❤
@@zandalina76 Ačiū! Džiaugiuosi, jog video dėka sugrįžo pozityvūs prisiminimai!
Wonderful video,Solo trekking is always more enjoyable than group trekking.
Definitely!
Superbe vidéo, les images, les couleurs, la musique apaisante, l'idée de ne pas rajouter de commentaires, ce film est une thérapie.......il devrait être financé par la sécurité sociale 😊. Merci pour votre travail.
@@pierrechabert334 Thank you so much for your feedback! Your support inspires me to keep sharing these experiences. And yes, I will ask for funding based on your comment!😁
23:34 face of a mountain again
This is so awesome man. Love it.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
So peaceful, relaxing, and inspiring! ❤
There is something magic on this video. I don't why but I watched it all without forwarding a single second. It's a great man, keep posting such videos.👏
@@bishalbhandari1622 many thanks for your support!
Kiekvieną rytą klausau ir žiūriu. Mane tai įkvepia visai dienai. Labai miela, kaip bendrauji su vietiniais, kaip juos gerbi. Nesustoki.🥰
So einen schönen Film hast du gedreht, lieber Justas. Ohne Worte und doch so ausdrucksstark. Bilder, Musik, Eindrücke. Ich mag die Stille dahinter. Wirklich eine ganz berührende Arbeit. Auch das Erleben dieser, deiner Reise, stelle ich mir sehr nachdrücklich, achtsam, tief im Herzen berührend vor. Fühl dich ermutigt und gegrüßt. ☺
Vielen Dank, Blattgeflitter, für deinen netten Kommentar. Es freut mich zu hören, dass du meine Wanderung und die Stille genossen hast!😊
at 10:16 u can see a face in the snowy hills in front (sunlight falls at such an angle creating a illusion) beautiful!!!!!!
Nepal is really a piece of paradise ..thanks for visiting our country 😍😊🙏🇳🇵🇳🇵love from Nepal 🇳🇵🙏
Great Video,
hope everyone who reads this will die with many great experiences.
Regardless what you are going through, it’s nothing to worry about. You will always be fine, even if it’s the end.
This video remembers me, to appreciate even the smallest experiences. Life is a gift❤
The scenery is so beautiful, it makes the soul so peaceful, thank you. NAMMO Amitabha BUDDHA NAMMO Amitabha BUDDHA NAMMO Amitabha BUDDHA.
Would love to see more work from this creator. What an amazing piece it is. The hikes and solo travels are often filled with this silence with the occasional sound of the village as one passes through it, the children playing and the animals grazing. Awesome work it is
Thank you so much! More content is coming in the next few weeks.
At 20:19 -- 20:45 i was like dang, this is tranquility, this is peace , this is heaven on earth 🙏🏿thank you so much 🙏🏿I just found your video and I love ❤️ it 🙏🏿
@@paulafavela3910 Thank you so much! I clearly remember that place, it’s called Shree Kharka. The morning there was truly peaceful.
Having just discovered this and half way through this I found this to be really amazing. Now the best hiking/traveling video of mine. I really like how instead of just seeing it as a place to go you participate a little bit in the local culture. I have always wanted to spin real Bhuddhist prayer wheels myself.
Thank you so much! It's actually amazing that you liked that random video of mine out of millions of others. Personally, the second half was my favorite part 😊 thanks again!
@@justas_hikes Just discovered it. Better than Kraig Adams just because you explore the local culture as part of your experience. I love that.
Wow, what an incredible solo adventure on the Annapurna Circuit! As someone who's always been fascinated by the Himalayas, your video really brought it to life. The culture, the stunning views, and even playing football with the local kids - what an experince! Trekking 260 km without a guide or porter is seriously impressive. Thanks for sharing you journey, it's super inspiring!
Thanks! Playing football with the kids was one of the best highlights of the entire trip:)
Sehr sehr schöne Tour und die gegend erst, der Hammer 😊
Vielen Dank, Uwe!
merhaba friend so beautyfull also THANKS for good documentary film about solo hiking...
Glad you liked it!!
Très beau reportage
Très belles images
Merci pour cette heure de bonheur reposant 👍👏♥️🙏🙏🙏
Merci beaucoup, I’m glad you felt relaxed!
"All who wander are not lost"
What a peaceful video!
I couldn’t have said it better! Thank you so much.
Holy moly dude even my dream is trekking on backpacking budget solo and you are living my dream
Lots of love ❤
Thanks my friend!
@@justas_hikes Hey buddy I understand that you maybe busy it would be great help if you could send me the itinerary for the trek
Even I’m planning for the circuit next summer
Incredibly magical video. Your choice of music enchants and relaxes me.
Thank you so much for letting me follow your journey.
Blessings and warm greetings from Italy.❤🎉
@@cosmicwings7211 Thank you for hiking along with me! Warm greetings to Italy (my favorite hiking destination in Europe) from Swiss.
Hermoso video de ensueños....Muchas gracias.👏🇦🇷
Muchas gracias!🙂
I found your video very inspirational. I have a bad knee, so it is very unlikely that I could ever do the Annapurna. I'm grateful that you took the time to film your journey just to show a part of the world many will never be able to reach. Many thanks!
@@llewcalonogryffedd6152 Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad you found the video inspirational. With a bad knee, maybe day hikes around the villages in the Annapurna region would be an option for you. You could reach the villages by jeep and explore the beauty of Nepal from there.
I Was in nepal late august and i made a shorter trek in Annapurna region, thankyou from the deep of my heart for this video! Simply amazing! This is the pure essence of trekking in Nepal❤. Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou
Thank you so much! It’s great to hear that I was able to share the spirit of Nepal with you again! How was your hiking experience during the monsoon season?
Was great! We was very luck, during trek we had beautiful sunny /cloudy days, raining only on nights! Beautiful to see that we stay in the same lodge in ghorepani 😊😊.
@@ManuB985 Lucky you! 😄 Yes, it’s a nice place to stay, but it was foggy in April due to the wildfires.
this video is absolute fantastic, most beautiful video I have ever seen about Annapurna trek, also the music is perfect 💙💙💙💯💯💯
Danke Renate!!🙏
Kocham Himalaje gdyż są to góry przepiękne, najwyższe na ziemi, cały czas pokryte warstwą śniegu, otulone mgłą. 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Widoki sprawiają że uśmiecham się na wspomnienie tego miejsca. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
I agree with you, it‘s a magical place!
En este vídeo me sentí como si yo estuviera allí, caminar por esos lugares , viendo los hermosos paisajes ,los ríos,las montañas ,los animalitos ,conociendo personas , probando la comida, conocer sus templos,su idioma,conocer ese país que tanto se habla con su montaña mas alta del mundo que lo caracteriza ,hermoso Nepal 😊 , saludos desde México 🇲🇽
Thanks a lot! I’m so glad you came along on this journey with me!
@@justas_hikes 🤗🤗🤗😊
Thank you for sharing your journey. Felt like I was trekking along. Haven’t seen such beautiful travel video before. Keep sharing more❤
Thank you so much for traveling together with me! I will, I’m working on the Iceland video at the moment.
Thanks so much for your serene memoir so beautifully captured. I have trekked along these paths in years gone by and Im delighted to see they don't seem to have changed. "Magic" was the word which recurred over in my head during my hikes there. It was a magical feeling. Makes me long to return.
Thank you so much! I had very similar feelings. It would be difficult to explain it to someone who has never been there:)
Just wow! Probably one day when I get the call from the mountains, I will be on this trek. Until then, I am experiencing it here.
@@sonukr2008 thanks! do it, it‘s magical there.
Wow😍
Thanks for showing us these amazing sceneries ❤
Your video is such a meditative experience. You did a great job. And your vision of the world is so beautiful. Hope you have more travels and films like this. ❤
This video is so touching, I am really your effort in the peaceful and consistent vibes
@@trinhthihoatien6776 Glad you enjoyed it🙏
Professional documentary style video gave augmented reality vibes. Thank you @justas_hikes. I grew up in North-East India and have family connections in Nepal. Felt the nostalgia.
Thanks Professor. I’m glad I was able to convey the spirit of Nepal, even if just for a moment.
정말 아름다운 영상입니다. 22년전 이코스를 돌아본 사람으로서 감회가 깊습니다. 게스트하우스가 좀 화려한 색갈로 변하고 시설이 많이 좋아진것 외에 자연은 변하지 않고 그대로의 환상적인 모습입니다. 이 영상작업은 세계의 어떤 거장이 찍은 영화보다도 더 진실되고 아름다운 시선을 보여주는 작품입니다. 이 작품을 보는동안 너무나 행복했습니다. 감사합니다.
Thank you so much, my Korean friend, for this kind comment. I’m very happy that through my film I was able to bring back the atmosphere and impressions you experienced 22 years ago.
Thanks for taking us along on your journey.
I did the same Annapurna circuit in 1995 but didn’t take a camera so it was nice to see your images. So beautiful 🙏
Thanks for traveling with me along the trek! 🙏
beautiful video. it feels like a documentary. thank you for creating and sharing it
Thanks a lot!
Вы сапраўдны матак! Цудоўнае падарожжа! Жадаю вам поспехаў і новых прыгод!
Having trekked this route back in 1991, this bought back lots of good memories 😊👏
That’s amazing! I can just imagine how much things have changed since 1991.
There is so much simplicity and humility in your video...Thank you for sharing
@@vanessauyttenhove4743 thank you for your kind words.
удивительная красота! благодарю!💚
Same track in 2016.. as if I'm walking this way alone again, thank you for the atmosphere ❤🙏
Same in 2024! Thanks for joining me on this trek.
wow true inspiration, the way you documented the whole thing is just magical, it seemed like Annapurna really wanted to be looked at and opened its doors for you. much love.....
@@devangshrai3024 thanks a lot! I truly felt the magic of the Annapurna region!
Best video on the internet. Amazing😮
@@Leon-r8z3b :)
Mindfulness, Peace and Tranquility ❤️ Thanks for this gift, keep doing more
Thank you!
Dear Sir, I am extremely overwhelmed by your this video about depicting Nepal(My Motherland) in such a precious and beyond beautiful way that words fails to describe.Thankyou for bringing this gift across the world and showing how enrich our country Nepal is.☺️🙂🙏☺️
It was a pleasure for me to travel in your homeland!
@@justas_hikes Sir,There are other various plenty of natural and eye-catching captivating places you might have missed such as sheyphoksundo lake.(Deepest Lake of Nepal) Our heartily welcome to you sir 🙂
Congratulations on the video. Fantastic images, great inspiration! It's great to be able to see the culture up close. I felt like I was in the Himalayas.
@@sanguedomar Thank you so much, Lucas! One of the goals of this video was to convey the atmosphere I felt while hiking to the viewer. I’m glad I managed to do that:)
I love Nepal so much! Thank you for this wonderful video.
@@bigbad_roy thank you for watching!
I've been on part of the Annapurna Circuit, but thanks to you, I've been longing to go back and do the whole trail. An amazing, beautiful video. You captured the wildness, rawness, and beauty of nature while adding something of yourself that makes this movie unparalleled. There were two or three parts where I got emotional. You have a talent. Keep doing what you are doing and share it with us. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Good luck to you.
@@tomzalew1 I’m glad I could help you return and revisit the places where you hiked in the past. When I create videos, I always put a piece of myself into them, striving to convey the emotions I felt while exploring the area, even without words. It’s rewarding to read a comment from someone who feels what I aimed to express! Thank you much, Tomasz!
I was already two times in Nepal doing the Everest and Annapurna Base Camp Trek. This video captures the landscape and culture so well, after watching this I probably end up a third time in Nepal soon. Thanks for the great video!
Thank you so much. Glad to hear this video inspired you for your third trek, maybe Manaslu?:)
Good guess :) Manasulu circuit is actually my plan. I've heard a lot of good things about it from the local people and I also think the Trek ist very special because it's even more remote and less traveled.
@@johnny-en1du I knew it, haha. Yes, I’ve heard the same and that trek would definitely be my first choice for my next trip to Nepal!
Namasté. Incredible video, perfectly shooted, high quality image.... I did this trek in 2007, it was my first, and from then i never left the Himalayas again. and i returned in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2018 to finish The Annapurna tour trough The Sanctuary and reach its northern North Face. Your showreel has brought bach unfforgetable memories and sensations, and to breath again the atmosphere that I experienced there live during those years. Nepal and Himalayas will always remain in my mind and in my hearth. 🙏
Namaste! Thank you for sharing your story. The Himalayas are unforgettable and I hope to return soon to create new experiences. I’m glad the video was able to evoke your memories.
