Awesome trekking Annapurna Circuit

”My husband and I took a trip to Nepal in April this year (2007) and were guided around half of the Annapurna Circuit (Besisahar to Jomsom) by Babu on a 13 day trip. Babu was a great guide and new the route very well so we were never worried about getting lost and when the path was not clear we were very grateful that he was there! He could also prepare us for the following day’s walk so that we knew what to expect, how long we would be walking and where the big hills were. His knowledge of the people and customs was very good and he seemed to get along very well with all the tea-house owners so they all made us feel very welcome. He also knew what to do in cases of Altitude Sickness which we both suffered from in varying degrees and kept a good eye on us to make sure that we were not doing more than we should be doing if we were ill. He had Diamox with him but luckily for us we did not have to use any of the rest of his first aid kit.

Babu made our trip interesting and much less taxing than trekking alone. We relied on him completely and spent our time enjoying the scenery and the experience. It is possible to trek independently and we did consider it, but with hindsight a guide and a porter made our trip much more enjoyable which was important for us as we only had a two week holiday so we made the most of our break.

If you are considering trekking in Nepal we would recommend Babu as a guide and hope you have an amazing holiday as we did, with memories to keep forever.”
