Unbelievable Hike, 10/10 views with an amazing guide - My Annapurna Circuit trek was an absolute blast! It was both challenging and rewarding, with breathtaking views at every turn. But the highlight without a doubt was my guide Keshab. He wasn't just knowledgeable and funny; he was incredibly caring, always looking out for my safety and needs. By the end of the hike, he felt more like a great friend than just a guide. His presence truly made the journey unforgettable. I’m looking to potentially do another Nepal hike, I will be requesting Keshab to my guide.

An unforgettable experience - We had an incredible time doing the Annapurna Circuit with Glorious Himalaya. Our guide Prakash is the best- his knowledge, passion for the mountains and fantastic company made the trip unforgettable. We would recommend the Annapurna Circuit, and Prakash, to anyone. A huge thank you to our porter, Akash, too; he made our trip run so smoothly, and was always so warm and friendly. This was one of the best things we have done, and we hope we can return to Nepal in the future for more trekking with Glorious Himalaya and Prakash!

An amazing trip doing the Annapurna Circuit! - An amazing trip doing the Annapurna Circuit with Glorious Himalaya! The company have been fantastic from start to finish. Our guide, Prakash made our experience unforgettable with his detailed knowledge of not only the mountains but all things Nepalese culture-wise, he was extremely kind, considerate and friendly throughout the trip and we had full trust in him. The views from the Annapurna circuit were spectacular; experiencing alpine forests, apple tree farms, turquoise blue rivers, snow and of course, incredible mountain views! I couldn’t recommend Prakash and the Glorious Himalaya team more highly! A special thanks to our porter Akash as well who was also amazing throughout.. we’ll definitely be back for more hiking in the future! Thank you for everything, Amelia.

Amazing Annapurna Circuit Trek - Thanks a lot to GHT team for organizing my Annapurna Circuit trek journey. I truly enjoyed 15 days Annapurna trek along with the support of my guide Ram and porter Raju. This journey was recommended by one of my colleagues who did the Annapurna Circuit in 2013. And I was curious to make it happen when I heard about it from him. Due to the windy and cloudy weather at Jomsom, we waited 2days there but couldn’t take our flight. Eventually, We took a jeep drive From Jomsom to Pokhara and that was a horrible off-road drive experience. Anyway, I really had a great time in Nepal with the help of Glorious Himalaya. I would like to recommend this company to all travellers who wanted to visit Nepal for your lifetime adventure. Thank you .

Great first time experience hiking in the Himalayas - We went on a guided trek to Poon Hill and Ghorepani with Prakash and he took great care of us, we felt in very safe hands. The weather conditions changed a lot and the trek was longer than we originally planned for, but he and Ganesh were flexible and adaptable to our requests. We saw amazing views! I came down with mild food poisoning towards the end so be careful with food, but that applies to anywhere and not just this experience. Highly recommend Glorious Himalayas for your trekking experience in Nepal.

Annapurna circuit trek - Trek was amazing. The guide & porter were sound in helping us achieve our hike. Wasn’t overly hard days, altitude was the main hurdle. Thanks 👍

Perfect hike to see Nepal’s high mountains - Completed the the 9 day Annapurna circuit, it was the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen, and the terrain changes every day of the hike. This time of year you’ll get sunny days, and might get snow at night time close to high camp. Our trek guide Pradip was honestly the tour guide I’ve had while travelling! Picked us up from airport upon arrival into Nepal. So supportive and encouraging the whole time, took care of everything and was so engaged with the locals which was really helpful for us! Also answered all our questions during the trek so felt very connected. The porter was great as well, would definitely recommend!

Amazing Experience - Had an amazing few weeks doing the circuit. Ganesh was very flexible and allowed me to add an additional 2 days in order to see Tilicho lake. This is the perfect trek to fully experience the Himilayas. Food was always excellent and accommodation was great. My guide Arbind was one of the kindest people i have met, he was knowledgeable and ensured i had a safe experience. Do not be put off by doing the trek out of high season, although cold at night the weather was amazing and the trails quiet. You will meet plenty of people in teahouses along the way. Overall, i will not hesitate to use Glorious Himalayas again.
