reviewBody”: “Just returned from the Annapurna Circuit trek with a group of friends, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing! It would not have been possible without our awesome tour guide, Shreeram, and our two strong porters (who happen to look like Korean twins btw), Dev and Surendra.
Personally, I like to engage a local guide when trekking especially in unfamiliar places (this was our group’s first time in Nepal as well as doing such a long trek!), because I’d like to think that the local guides know the ins and outs of the trail better; making sure safety is the utmost priority while not compromising on the view and experience.

Annapurna Circuit trek – 15 days package
Reviewed Trek: Annapurna circuit trek
One fine day in 2019, a group of 5 of us from the concrete jungle that is Kuala Lumpur got together and decided to take the leap into the unknown – a multi-day trek in the Himalayas. Our chosen route was the well-known Annapurna Circuit, a trail encircling the Annapurna Massif in the Nepal section of the Himalayas.
This being the first time we were undertaking such a trip, we were naturally a little apprehensive and unsure of what to expect. However, we need not have worried at all. The team assigned to the 5 of us comprised of Shreeram (guide and founder of Nepal Trek Hub) as well as Dev and Surendra (charming young brothers who acted as our porters) – and the three of them were the best that we could have dreamed of.

Manag is elevated at the 3500 Meter. 3500 Meter is pretty high for most of you that are the reason it is very important to do acclimatization here on Manag. Most of you may think that it is just a rest day. In Fact, it is not just the rest day. Explorations and hiking to high elevated places and returning in the same place are the main things that you do for acclimatization. This allows you to acclimate properly. Ice Lake 4600 Meters is the best place to hike when you are doing the Annapurna circuit trek. The spectacular scenery of the Himalayas and the colourful Manag valley you can see while hiking to the Ice Lake.
