Hi Helen and Tim, I have been following you guys on my other account for a while. This looked like it was pretty intense. I am happy to see your new video!
@@artiel.757 thanks for watching and following along ☺️ It was definitely a 14-day adventure and intense at times on the Annapurna Circuit 🥾 This one took us a bit longer to edit than expected
@@HelenandTimTravel your welcome, I have been following for sometime now, however I prefer to view the videos on the you tube app on my tv. I rarely have a chance to comment from my personal account. What is I found interesting is that you guys had to take Diamox at a higher altitude. And those squatty potties are quite something else. But those early morning with the first sunrise hitting the peaks - are just worth it!
@@artiel.757 Thanks for your support. We super appreciate it. We also prefer to watch TH-cam videos on the TV or laptop. Appreciate your comment and reaching out. We love connecting with our viewers. The Diamox definitely helped a lot, but didn't help with stomach issues. The squatty potties aren't are favorite, but we will take whatever bathroom we can get haha. The sunrises were the absolute best!
Did this trek independently back in 1994! Was amazing, first time in Nepal 🇳🇵, very different and undeveloped back then, cost about 20 quid a week back then 😂
That's so awesome! What an experience that must have been. I can imagine how much more remote and less traveled it was 30 years ago. Glad you got to experience that.
I made it with Intrepid as far as Thorong Phedi before severe altitude sickness forced me to turn back to Manang, and then by vehicle from there to Besishahar, and then Pokhara where I reunited with my Intrepid group. This was in September, this year.
Would love to see those other areas sometime! Sounds like you had a wonderful time. You should check out Nepal. Highly recommend! Thanks for watching 🤙🏽
@@HelenandTimTravelgrammatical you are right . Might be we are not much used to with momos 😂😂😂 that’s why it’s kinda sounds weird. Anyway no offence, thankyou for replying back .🙏 🙏
Actually, MOMO is a Tibetan delicacy but lately everyone can afford and enjoy it. Nepal is a great country especially for trekking the beautiful Himalayan routes. The people are very simple and generous to all. I love Nepal and it's people.
What an incredible video! I must say, this travel vlog is both detailed and informative, capturing the essence of the Annapurna Circuit in a way that kept me thoroughly engaged from start to finish. Despite being Nepali, I have never completed the entire Circuit myself, having only explored certain segments of it. Watching your journey unfold was a true delight, and I commend your bravery and spirit of adventure in undertaking such an ambitious trip. Your work does a remarkable job of showcasing the beauty and cultural richness of Nepal to a global audience. Thank you sincerely for promoting Nepal in such a positive light. Wishing you all the best for your future adventures and eagerly awaiting more of your exploratory endeavors!
Thanks so much for taking the time to write this. We appreciate your nice words and watching the entire video. We know it was quite long. That’s great you have trekked and explored some segments of the Annapurna Circuit. Thanks for watching. Nepal is truly a beautiful country with some of the kindest people, delicious foods, stunning landscapes, and colorful culture. Thanks again!
Thanks for Chosing our Discovery Trekking and Exploring our Beautyfull country Nepal.🇳🇵🇳🇵 Hope you like the Hospitality, Trekking, Adventure in our Nepal😊
Epic journey, thanks for sharing. I did the Poon Hill trek in 2016 and this takes me back and makes me want to step up to do this full trek one day. Cheers.
You’re welcome! Awesome you got to experience Poon Hill. The Annapurna Circuit was a fantastic experience. Definitely worth checking out. We didn’t want to do Everest Base Camp, but after this trip, we want to go back
During your trek, did you ever get a sense of how people live; quality of life, etc? Watching this, makes me wonder what it would be like to have been born and grow up in such a pristine environment.
We did feel like we got a good sense of how the locals lived. Much of their livelihood depends on agriculture and tourism. It’s a family effort for running the tea houses along the way. We felt immersed but know the reality of tourism impacts on people
you guys are just great...coming out from such a hectic world n jus getting into d natural world i hope you guys got a peace of mind...god bless u always and a very warm love from me and from nepal❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing this incredible memory from last year with 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐤𝐬, Helen and Tim! Your videos always transport us to breathtaking places and inspire us to embark on our own adventures. Can't wait to see where your travels take you next!
Thank you, David for watching and following along on our Annapurna Circuit hike. Appreciate you subscribing and following along. We greatly appreciate the comments and support 😀
Hello Helen & Tim, great capture. I’m on the same trek next week, wanted to know which month and date did you guys go? As the video was posted last week, wanted to know if your trek was in the month of March 2024 or earlier. Asking only as I’m trying to figure out the weather for next week and the week after.
That’s exciting! Hope your trek goes well. We went around mid October last year. A different part of the year than you’re going, but we have heard you will get consistent weather if you’re going in April.
The Annapurna Circuit was an amazing hike. The new jeep roads were quite bumpy, but only dusty after the pass. Otherwise they were wide enough you could avoid the dust from jeeps by staying off to the side/shoulder.
I'm very interested in what porters carry for you? You have backpacks and they also have bags four times larger. Considering that you spend the night and eat in villages. And the track is not very difficult. Bottled water?
The porters carried mostly our clothes/jackets, toiletries, healthier snacks (we couldn't get on the trail) and sandals. Two people shared one porter bag, so we each had to fit all of our stuff into one big duffel bag for our porter to carry. We each had our 3-liter water bladder. You can buy water at each of the tea houses. We either did that or used our water filters to filter water from the spouts available outside of the tea houses. If you are interested in any of our gear, you can visit our website: helenandtimtravel.com/hiking-gear-list Let us know if you have any questions 😀
@@HelenandTimTravel in this treck you can just take about 7 kg backpack. No more! Everithing you can get in the villages. Medicine centers also there. Water goes from million year ice from the mountains. Don't buy bottles!
@SergeFX all good recommendations. Depends on the company. You may be thinking of Everest Base Camp. We had a porter for every 2 people so we had some extra clothes. All food and water we got on the mountain
hi, abit late to watch this but i saw that you guys missed tilicho lake, highest altitude lake of the world. btw nice vlog, really enjoyed it, and can't wait to trek again.
Hi Helen and Tim, I am from Skardu Pakistan from the mountain valley. Thank you for sharing this amazing videos with us and they way you explain every things are very helpful for other who want to visit AC trek.Thanks. I am a local guide for trekking in pakistan like K2 Basecamp,, have you been in Pakistan ? or are you planning to come to pakistan?
We have not, but it is on the list for the future :) Thanks so much! Think we got your email and would love to stay in touch. Do you have a website to share here with others looking to do that hike? :)
Hi, thanks for sharing your tips, quick question please , when did u go hiking the annapurna? what is the best month of the year you would recommend? I heard that there is a pollution season as well in Nepal. thanks
We recommend hiking in late Oct/Nov to April/May. They seem go be clearer weather windows and not as cold as the other months. We hiked with Discovery World Trekking. You can see their info in our video description. March to May tents to be smokier with pre-monsoon pollution, so Oct/Nov may be better.
U can visit south India u can see variety of different foods temples heritage and culture especially Kerala and Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Hyderabad it's amazing Kerala, munnar, kochi, wayanad, Ooty, coimbatore, manglore, Gokarna, Coorg, Bangalore, Mysore, Alleppey, Udupi, Chennai, Karnataka, Kodaikanal
you have to go Upper Mustang too from Muktinath ...there is also more beautiful view & their culture ....Great Awesome time you all had...congratulation
Thanks so much! We didn't clean our hiking bottles. We used water filters for our water bladders and water bottles...and sometimes only had access to buy bottled water (Which we hated) when there was not accessible running water to filter at the tea houses. High altitude meant sometimes the water was frozen....
Hi Helen and Tim Travel - In which months did you go ? What time ai the best time for this trek? We are planning to go on December 20 - Jan 4 this year. Will that be a good decision ? Will we have a clear view of Tilicho lake and will the Thorang la pass be open ?
We went in Oct last year. It’s apparently a good month for clear windows as well as we have heard March and April are good times. Not sure if Dec is. Would recommend doing some research or talking to a local trekking company on Dec. Snow storms can be common on upper pass between Nov to Feb we have heard since it’s winter in northern hemisphere
Absolutely amazing nice sound. I recommend you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak.add this sound in your bucket list.
Thanks for the tips and we would love to hike K2 sometime. Pakistan's mountains look absolutely amazing. Do you have a recommendation for a guide/trekking company?
@@HelenandTimTravel yap offcourse. When you guys want to come, be sure to get in touch. And make sure to enjoy this himalayan . That's why I recommended Moses Peak to you. Because I myself have climbed this mountain many times every year with tourists. More than seven times. Because it goes up this mountain path from my village and I know these paths very well۔the unique future of this peak is that once you can experience the magnificent view of k2 the second highest peak in the world. Along with almost 700+m peaks in the area including Nangaparbat,Broad peak. Mashabrom Ghashabrom1,2,3,4 and K_6 K_7and k12.the route is located in open Area.
@@HelenandTimTravel ya offcourse. Thank you very much for replying to the comment. Whenever you start a short solo trip of 4-5 days, Moses Peak is a must. It is a 5300m height۔ from the top of moses pea which you can see the views of the K2 world second highest peak in the world, Nangaparbat, K6 k11 and K 12 views in one frame. best time from May to October. This is a family tracked.its open Zone, one did not need a trekking permit or have to pay Royalty fee to climbed this Mountain tower
@@BaltistaniBoys thanks for taking the time to write this. We will definitely save this information for when we go ☺️ hope to make it there in the next year or two
Beautiful introduction to the Annapurna Circuit trek. My bagpack and day bag in total is only 9.8 kg. My porter couldn’t be more happy to hike along the circuit. The lighter you pack, the better it would be with happier days and less stress. This great video reminds me of this trek.
Thanks for watching! You did a good job packing light. We could’ve done a way better job for sure 😅 but the load got much lighter once we ate our snacks.
We went in Oct and it was overall very warm during the days….around 21 to 26 celaius during the day and depending on elevation it was below freezing at upper elevation. We didn’t get snow on the upper pass but it does happen so often in Oct,
Honestly never felt too overly crowded until the upper pass. It felt pretty spread out throughout. We want to do EBC at some point. How did you like York experience?
They were both provided to us included in our trekking package. We loved Discovery World Trekking because they provided them at no additional cost unlike some of the other companies ☺️
We didn’t have to pay for electricity on the Annapurna circuit. Seemed like most places included free electricity. Once you’re at high elevation though they have limited hours the electricity comes on and at a couple of the higher camp there isn’t any electricity at all. Make sure to bring battery banks and a solar charger if you can ☺️
we did this hike before the mandatory guide service. no way i would want to hike with a guide for such a easy impossible to get lost trail.. Guides than was about $ 20-$25 a day
You can! You can probably google jeep services that can take you up there. It does cost around $200 to $300 USD for a private jeep. Not familiar with who operates them since we went with a guide
Not to criticize, but as a buddhist, you should know how to spin the Mani wheels. You should use right hand, not left and you should spin them in a clockwise direction.
We didn’t have these wheels growing up in the buddhist denomination and temple I went to. But thanks for the info. We are all learning and growing in this world and to teach through kindness ☺️
It's shocking to see Annapurna like this. Did it 25 years ago. It was single trail from Besisahar to the end. Even 15 years ago it was okayish, although roadbuilding had startet. Well if the road truely serves the people, I'm not saying anything.
Wow! What an experience doing the trail 25 years and 15 years ago. Would be interesting to see side-by-side photos comparison of all the changes and development.
@@HelenandTimTravel We saw many amazing places after that and we still do, but that first Annapurna was probably an experience of a lifetime. Also it was August and we met a bunch of other trekkers at the bus in Besisahar. We just decided to do the Annapurna together and support each other.
Our friend brought a small solar panel to charge our and camera batteries. Some places on the pass limit when electricity is turned on. Wish we had warmer gloves for the upper pass. You can buy yak fur gloves along the way if you want warmer gloves, but we wish we had our ski gloves verses the thinner ones we had. We pretty much used all of the things on our packing list from the trekking company ☺️
She followed many different trekking groups not only us. She always seemed to left with the first group of trekkers for the day and somehow found us again.
It depends on how many days you are on the Annapurna Circuit. Each trekking country charges different rates, but overall pretty similar. We used Discovery World Trekking: www.discoveryworldtrekking.com/trips/annapurna-circuit-trek
It's called "Eastern Sunrise" by Ian Kelosky. We use a website called Soundstripe to license all of our music for the channel. Here is the link to his song on Soundstrip: app.soundstripe.com/songs/14535. You can sign up for a free Soundstripe here, but if you just want to listen, you don't need to sign-up. 😎 www.soundstripe.com/?id=ReGwyaeP
In some comment you asked for photos of what AC looked like 25 years ago. Here is a video of the route (HD slides) done in 1984 and 1986, Dumre to Pokhara including Annapurna Sanctuary and Dhaulagiri Icefall. No roads, no electricity, no phones. th-cam.com/video/wxXPsO0Zuzo/w-d-xo.html
@balarampradhan6010 we were relieved too that some of the guides saw them and reported back to us. Sure so much has changed since back then. Glad you were able to experience it

Did EBC years ago. Always wanted to do this one. How bad is the traffic these days? Spoils it ?
Honestly never felt too overly crowded until the upper pass. It felt pretty spread out throughout. We want to do EBC at some point. How did you like York experience?
Love your video very useful 👍
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 😀

Nice Vlog. Is it possible for you to share with us the permit of flying drone in Annapurna Circuit and pass airport of Nepal??
Thank you! You can find out more information here: www.thirdrockadventures.com/blog/how-to-travel-with-a-drone-in-nepal. Hope that helps!
Hi. cool movie. I have a question. did you pay for renting a jacket and sleeping bag?
They were both provided to us included in our trekking package. We loved Discovery World Trekking because they provided them at no additional cost unlike some of the other companies ☺️
Have a wonderful time hajur 🇳🇵 💐❤️🙏🏻
Namaste! Thank you ☺️❤️

Welcome 🙏🙏to visit Nepal 🇳🇵❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thanks! Nepalese people were very kind. Appreciate the warm welcome
@@HelenandTimTravel You're welcome 🙏🙏🙏 🥰
Hi. Did you have to pay for charging electronic equipment?
We didn’t have to pay for electricity on the Annapurna circuit. Seemed like most places included free electricity. Once you’re at high elevation though they have limited hours the electricity comes on and at a couple of the higher camp there isn’t any electricity at all. Make sure to bring battery banks and a solar charger if you can ☺️
Nice🎉🎉🎉🎉sapoti
Thank you🙏❤️☺️
Is it true that they totally destroid the circuit with a road all the way around?
They have built a road, but not sure what conditions were like before. Definitely has an impact on the environment and the route regardless.
we did this hike before the mandatory guide service. no way i would want to hike with a guide for such a easy impossible to get lost trail.. Guides than was about $ 20-$25 a day
We wish we did the same ☺️ glad you had that experience. Wow $20 to $25 is a great deal! What did you think of the hike?
Can I take a car and start from Manang? I'm going by myself without a guide.
You can! You can probably google jeep services that can take you up there. It does cost around $200 to $300 USD for a private jeep. Not familiar with who operates them since we went with a guide
Well done 👏🏻
Thanks so much 😊
What was your daily cost on an average? Per day
With Annapurna guide services, food/drinks, private jeep ride both ways. We averaged $65 per person per day
Amazing 😍
Thank you! ☺️
Love it #Nepal
Nepal is such a wonderful country to visit!
how long was drive from ghorepani to pokhara?
If we remember correctly it was 2ish to 3 hours, definitely not longer than 3. It was a bumpy ride we remember :).
welco,me to nepal n enjoooyss
Thanks so much ☺️☺️☺️
Not to criticize, but as a buddhist, you should know how to spin the Mani wheels. You should use right hand, not left and you should spin them in a clockwise direction.
We didn’t have these wheels growing up in the buddhist denomination and temple I went to. But thanks for the info. We are all learning and growing in this world and to teach through kindness ☺️
Well come NepaL 🙏
Thanks so much! 🏔️☺️ We appreciate all the kindness
🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤biutiful Nepal
Couldn’t agree more ☺️
It's shocking to see Annapurna like this. Did it 25 years ago. It was single trail from Besisahar to the end. Even 15 years ago it was okayish, although roadbuilding had startet.
Well if the road truely serves the people, I'm not saying anything.
Wow! What an experience doing the trail 25 years and 15 years ago. Would be interesting to see side-by-side photos comparison of all the changes and development.
@@HelenandTimTravel We saw many amazing places after that and we still do, but that first Annapurna was probably an experience of a lifetime. Also it was August and we met a bunch of other trekkers at the bus in Besisahar. We just decided to do the Annapurna together and support each other.
@FragenAnsLeben that sounds like an amazing experience. The best is meeting people along the journey you can share experiences with
Baball ❤
😀 Thanks for watching!

I'm doing this trek in Oct. What items did you wish you brought? What items did you not need?
Our friend brought a small solar panel to charge our and camera batteries. Some places on the pass limit when electricity is turned on.
Wish we had warmer gloves for the upper pass. You can buy yak fur gloves along the way if you want warmer gloves, but we wish we had our ski gloves verses the thinner ones we had.
We pretty much used all of the things on our packing list from the trekking company ☺️
Nice
Thanks so much!
How did that dog followed you all the way up ..😮
She followed many different trekking groups not only us. She always seemed to left with the first group of trekkers for the day and somehow found us again.
how much money will be enough to comp[lete it
It depends on how many days you are on the Annapurna Circuit. Each trekking country charges different rates, but overall pretty similar. We used Discovery World Trekking: www.discoveryworldtrekking.com/trips/annapurna-circuit-trek
❤❤❤❤
☺️☺️☺️
😍😍
☺️🏔️🥾
Wow...beautifully done but you did NOT do nearly the circuit. Viewers should be aware of the actual circuit.
Thanks! Yes we are aware there are many different lengths and routes. This was just our experience
49:00 song name? It’s so soothing
It's called "Eastern Sunrise" by Ian Kelosky. We use a website called Soundstripe to license all of our music for the channel. Here is the link to his song on Soundstrip: app.soundstripe.com/songs/14535. You can sign up for a free Soundstripe here, but if you just want to listen, you don't need to sign-up. 😎 www.soundstripe.com/?id=ReGwyaeP

In some comment you asked for photos of what AC looked like 25 years ago. Here is a video of the route (HD slides) done in 1984 and 1986, Dumre to Pokhara including Annapurna Sanctuary and Dhaulagiri Icefall. No roads, no electricity, no phones. th-cam.com/video/wxXPsO0Zuzo/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much for sharing. Will check it out!
🥰
Thanks so watching! ☺️
you dont need a guide- its dead law
We saw many people without a guide, but also many with guides and porters. We love to support local jobs 😃
What happened to the dog that followed you from Chame to High Camp? I enjoyed every bit of your epic 14 day trek
So glad you enjoyed it! Hikers said they saw her go over to pass to the town of Muktinath. She followed many of the groups, not just ours 🐶
@@HelenandTimTravel Relieved to hear that the dog has reached Muktinath. I too have been to Tilicho some years back.
@balarampradhan6010 we were relieved too that some of the guides saw them and reported back to us. Sure so much has changed since back then. Glad you were able to experience it
