Singing Shen2025-02-07 Pikey Peak, escape the crowds If you're looking for incredible mountain views without the crazy crowds, this is the trek for you. The route was delightful, and scenery was breathtaking! What really made the trip successful, was the team Nepal Intrepid Treks. Our guides, Kamal, Hem, and Jiban, provided careful attention to us and we chatted and laughed along the way. It felt more like trekking with friends than a guided tour. A couple of things to note: There were a few days with longer walks, which meant we sometimes ate a little later or arrived at the guesthouse later than usual. It wasn't a big deal, just part of the adventure. Also, if you're trekking in winter, be prepared for fog in the afternoons. One pleasant surprise was that most of the guesthouses had plugs in the rooms, which was great for charging my devices. harmonicahsu2025-02-05 A fantastic experience of the Pikey Peak trekking Nepal Intrepid Treks & Expedition is a highly recommended travel agency that provides professional guides and meticulous services to tourists from all over the world when traveling in Nepal.

Annapurna Circuit Trek: One of the most Rewarding Trek in Nepal
Annapurna Circuit Trek, also known as Annapurna Thorong La Pass Trek, is the longest and most rewarding trek to the Annapurna region of Nepal. Immerse in the captivating beauty of Annapurna massif and get a detailed knowledge of every aspect of nature and culture.
The moment of being on the world’s highest and most challenging pass – Thorong La pass, would be a trophy for all the obstacles you have gone through during the Annapurna Circuit Trek. Annapurna Circuit Trek starts from the foothills of Annapurna. It takes you to the world’s highest pass at an elevation of 5,416 meters. This drastic change in the altitude during the trek allows you to explore the diversity in terms of altitude, vegetation, wildlife, people, culture, and lifestyle.
Nepal Intrepid Treks escorts you to the Annapurna region of Nepal and lets you witness the beauty that lies in lush forests, hills, waterfalls, rivers, quaint villages, and terraced farmland. Annapurna Circuit Trek starts with a drive from Kathmandu to Jagat via Besisahar in the Marsyangdi river valley. Then it ends up in the deepest gorge in the world – Kaligandaki Gorge.
As we encircle the Annapurna range, we cross two beautiful river valleys. In addition, we walk along the beautiful paddy fields, and sub-tropical forests, and pass several villages. Along the way, we catch a few glimpses of waterfalls and colossal cliffs.
Annapurna Circuit trek takes you to the beautiful valley of Manang. Additionally, the wilderness of Manang and Pisang Valley as you walk through the yak kharkas and pine forests in the valley is intoxicating. Furthermore, the views of Pisang Peak as it rises just above the Pisang Valley are superb. Moreover, the view of Gangapurna from Manang Valley! Moving ahead with the trek, we reach Thorong La Phedi and ascend up to the Thorong La Pass. In addition, the pass offers some majestic views of mountains like Annapurna I, Annapurna II, Annapurna III, Annapurna IV, Annapurna South, Gangapurna, Nilgiri, Macchapucchre, Dhaulagiri, etc. Muktinath, a popular pilgrimage site for Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims is another attraction of this journey.
Muktinath is not just famous for the religious importance it possesses. In addition, it is renowned for the splendid views of the Himalayas that this place offers. Descending down from Muktinath, we pass some beautiful villages like Marpha, Ghasa, and Tadapani to Ghorepani. The Poonhill too offers some excellent views of mountains in Annapurna ranges. The sunrise and sunset views from Poonhill can be the most captivating experience of our journey.

The Annapurna Base Camp trek is a renowned trekking route in Nepal that takes adventurers through diverse landscapes, including terraced fields, lush forests, and high-altitude villages, leading to the base camp at 4,130 meters (13,550 feet). It showcases panoramic views of towering peaks such as Annapurna I and Machapuchare.
The trek is moderately challenging. It requires daily trekking of 4-7 hours with steep ascents and descents but doesn’t involve technical climbing. Trekkers should have basic fitness and some endurance. Training with uphill walks and cardio for a few months before departure is advised.
Yes, altitude sickness is a potential risk as the trek ascends beyond 3,000 meters. Trekkers should plan for acclimatization, stay hydrated, and ascend gradually. Knowing the symptoms, such as headaches and dizziness, is crucial, and it’s wise to descend immediately if severe signs appear.
Yes, trekkers need the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) and a TIMS card (Trekkers’ Information Management System). These can be arranged in Kathmandu or Pokhara, and tour operators often handle this if you join a guided trek.
The prime seasons are spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November). These times offer clear skies and stable weather. Winter treks are quieter but colder, while monsoon (June-August) treks are wetter with challenges like leeches and muddy paths.
Lodging is mainly in teahouses that offer simple rooms and shared bathrooms. Food varies from traditional Nepali meals like dal bhat to basic international dishes such as pasta or pancakes. It’s recommended to carry a sleeping bag for added warmth.
Physical training should focus on cardio, leg strength, and endurance. Including uphill and downhill hikes in your routine helps simulate the trek’s demands. Packing essentials include a down jacket, layered clothing, sturdy boots, a hat, and first-aid supplies.
While not mandatory, hiring a guide or porter can enhance the experience, offering local insights and route safety. Porters help carry luggage, allowing trekkers to focus on enjoying the hike.
While there are basic first-aid services at teahouses, carrying travel insurance that covers emergency evacuation (e.g., by helicopter) is crucial due to the remote nature of the trek and potential health risks.
