A Journey That Balanced Challenge and Charm
Trekking the Annapurna Circuit with World Himalaya was an unforgettable adventure. From the very first step, driving through lush, terraced farmlands and quaint villages to the triumphant crossing of Thorong La Pass at 5,416 m, every moment was meticulously planned. The rest day in Manang, where I hiked to Ice Lake and visited the Himalayan Rescue Association, provided not just vital acclimatization, but also a fascinating learning experience Lodges along the trail were cozy and clean, with hearty dal bhat to fuel our long days. Our guide’s friendly storytelling, combined with breathtaking mountain vistas, made this trek more than just a physical feat..... it was a true Himalayan immersion.
