Description

In Sanskrit, Annapurna means “she who is full of food”. Annapurna Devi is also a Goddess of abundance. And of course, the Annapurna range represents her, holds her temple, is abundant. From rice fields to forests, waterfalls and cliffs, this mountain range in the Nepalese Himalayas has it all. It is no surprise then that so many explorers and adventurers have voted it the best long distance trek in the world. But of course, it is not easy, and requires proper guidance. On this stunning 18-day trek, I will show you one of the world’s most beautiful trekking circuits.

Our trip begins in Kathmandu, a beautiful city which we will also have time to explore. Then, we will take a jeep to Beshishar which will lead us to Chame, the starting point of our trek. From there we will walk every day between 5 to 8 hours discovering the landscapes and cultures along the way. When we reach Manang we will spend some time acclimatising as we will be covering elevation levels of up to 6000 meters when we get to Thorong Peak! Consequently, it is important to have a good fitness level and proper equipment.

Of course, I will be there every step of the way to guide and help you. We will also have porters to help carry our things and meals will be included. This means that you will be able to focus on your trekking and on enjoying this wonderful experience!

Are you ready to discover the beautiful Annapurna in Nepal? Then book your place now and please join me on this once in a lifetime experience where you will see abundance all around you!

I also organise ski tours in Iceland and rock climbing expeditions in Greece!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
