About
Crossing Larke La pass, 5213 m on snow is a test of stamina. The scenery is outstanding with major peaks on all sides: Himal Chuli, Manaslu, Cheo Himal and Himlung Himal. These mountain peaks tower above us as we descend from alpine into tropical areas, bursting with ferns, bamboo, waterfalls and blue-green lakes bordered by white beaches. At last we reach the heavily forested valley of the Marsyangdi River until we meet up with the popular Annapurna Circuit trail. From here on we will meet other trekkers enjoying the fantastic views of the Annapurna range. This three-week trek around the Manaslu Circuit will leave you with a sense of awe and respect for the cultural and ecological wonders of Nepal.

      The best Annapurna Trekking experience !!
      Wow!! This trek was incredible !! Everything about it was perfect, it was very well organised, and exactly as described. We had a wonderful guide and porter who were great fun, super supportive and attentive to our needs. The trek was done at a perfect pace for us with some flexibility each day to trek more or less depending how we felt. The views and route we took were breathtaking , I would 100% recommend this company if you want a smooth trekking experience and be looked after very well!!

      My amazing experience in Nepal with Annapurna Foothills
      I climbed island peak and did the 3 pass trek with Annapurna Foothills and I really enjoyed the experience. The guides Tenzing and Mingma were really great and took good care of all of us, they managed to solve all the unexpected problems, the food and accommodations were good and the whole experience was really enjoyable because of the good atmosphere of the group. I recommend Annapurna Foothills trek to anyone going to Nepal, whether for climbing or trekking in Khumbu or Langtang. Thank you Ngima for everything and for climbing my first 6000er mountain.

      Outstanding Mountaineering Experience
      I recently completed the Everest 3 High Passes trek + Island Peak Climbing with Annapurna Foothills, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. Our guides, Tenzing and Mingma, were amazing. They ensured our comfort throughout the trip and made countless efforts to enhance our experience. Each night, we stayed in local tea houses that were both comfortable and served delicious food. They even took us around the towns for additional exploration whenever we desired. The trekking pace was perfectly suited to our group, with well-timed breaks in scenic and sheltered spots for meals. Snacks were provided, and every detail of the journey was meticulously planned to ensure our enjoyment. I am especially thankful to Tenzing for showing concern and care when I felt very ill on one of the days early in the trip. She arranged suitable meals, and I was able to quickly recover by the next morning to carry on. Tenzing and Mingma added numerous special touches that made the trek unforgettable. We enjoyed a picnic beside a lake at the Kongma La Pass and a guided tour of the Thame Monastery. Their extensive knowledge and friendly demeanor greatly enriched our experience. When bad weather disrupted flights from Lukla Airport, the guides quickly arranged alternative transportation by jeep/van. This proactive approach showcased their experience, flexibility and quick thinking. I highly recommend Annapurna Foothills for any trekking adventure in Nepal. They truly go above and beyond to ensure a memorable and enjoyable experience.

      An amazing time with amazing people
      This was my first time mountaineering and Annapurna Foothills provided me with the best experience I ever had. During the entire trip, Tenzing and Mingma spared no effort in ensuring we were comfortable. The local tea houses we stayed at each night was comfortable and had really good food. They brought us around the towns once we arrived if we decided to explore a little more. During the trek, we were provided snacks and the pace was appropriate for us. They would choose really nice places for us to break too, ensuring there isn’t too much wind or to have a really nice view as you are having your lunch. They were flexible in allowing for some changes in the program too. During the hike, some of us wanted to take a different route and they catered to our requests as long as it wasn’t a very big deviation. Overall I had a really good time with them and would recommend them to anyone heading to Nepal for their hike!

      Great experience at Everest 3 Pass
      Did the Everest 3 High Pass with Annapurna Foothills. It was an amazing experience. The guides Tenzing and Mingma are friendly and knowledgeble. They also do a lot of little touches to make the trek memorable; we had a the picnic beside a lake at the Kong La Ma pass, a guided walkthrough of the Thame Monastery, etc To be frank, the 3 high passes are noy easy (certainly much harder than EBC). Each requiring 6-8 hours of relatively brisk trekking and have some difficult (ie. Steep, scrambling) sections. Thats why i am all the more impressed by the porters who followed us through all 3 of the passes. The guides are also flexible. For example, once we suspected that there would be bad weather and no flights from Lukla Airport, they quickly took action to arrange jeep/van (note: need to walk 4+ hrs to nearest road) for us to return to Kathmandu, hence saving us the need to pay for helicopter. Overall had a great experience. Would recommend.

      Annapurna trek in the Nar Phu valley
      I have been with Annapurna Foothill Trek for a 22 days, within an Italian group of 8 people. Our route was an alternative to the classic Annapurna trek. We went along the Nar-Phu valley, we passed the Kang La and then Lake Tilicho before tackling the Thorung La. All in all it has been a fantastic experience, with an outstanding service from Annapurna Foothill Trek. Ngima was our guide and has been always very professional and carefull. They took us from our arrival at the airport until our departure . Finally we visited Kathmandu with a city guide from Annapurna Foothill and even in this case the organization was perfect and the visits to the different locations were fantastic. I would reccomend Annapurna Foothill Trek for everyone would want to visit Nepal for trekking or mountaineering and also if you want to visit Kathmandu only. Thanks Ngima !

      Mera Peak, Amphu Labsta Pass
      We had simple an amazing time in Nepal thanks the team of Annapurna foothills. Ngima was extremely helpful in planning our personalized itenerary in the Everest region where we made a round over Mera Peak, Amphu Labsta Pass, Everest Basecamp and Cho Lo Pass. Dendi Sherpa was a perfect guide, both fun and supportive. If it was not for him we would not have stood on Mera Peak. After seeing the rockfall on Island Peak we decided to change itenerary, which was arranged very smoothly by the Annapurna foothills staff.

      Highly recommended!!
      Did the 3 peak (Mera, Island and Lobuche East) climb with Annapurna Foothills. Everything was very well organised. Ngima and Dawa were always very fast with answering questions beforehand and once in Nepal everything was taken care of. From transfers to gear checking and much more. Because we had bad weather when trying to fly to Lukla (people were stuck for 3 days), Dawa quickly arranged other means of (adventurous) transport so we wouldn't miss the start of our tour. Once we met up with our porters and guides, the real adventure began. Our climbing guide Mingmar and Dawa arranged everything during the trek (Mingmar even baked a birthday cake!) and our porters were more than amazing! The porters are not allowed to carry too much weight (15kg per guest) and were handed warm clothes, socks and boots before the trek. All of them made sure we had the best possible experience in Nepal. Still don't know how Mingmar got me up all 3 mountains :-). It was an absolutely beautiful trek with remote valleys, stunning views and absolutely lovely people. Would definitely recommend Annapurna Foothills for any of your trips to Nepal!! Ngima, Dawa, Mingmar and porters, thanks again for this amazing experience!

      Best Nepal experience I could imagine...
      I spend almost two months in Nepal in 2023. I Booked two trips with Annapurna Foothills, I spend a week in the Langtang Valley and did the Three Peaks trek in the Everest Region. Both the trips were great, beautiful scenary, great guides and porters, everything perfectly arranged. But Annapurna Foothills did so much more. I can honestly say that from the day I landed until the day I left they took care of me. Arranging pick-ups from the airport, booking bustickets and domestic flights, arranging my trip to Chitwan etc etc. Nigma is wife Tenzin and Dawa are the most lovely people you can imagine, I am so happy I met them and I learned so much from them about Nepal and Nepali culture. So if you are thinking about taking a trip to Nepal don't hesitate to book with them!

      Baruntse 2023 - hard and beatuful
      0n 05-Nov-2023 me and my guide, Ngawa Sherpa, summited Baruntse (7129 - 7159 m, depends from a source). I had known Annapurna_Foothills and the guide Ngawa from some earlier visits to Nepal and I knew I could trust them. As I travelled solo I adjusted a standard plan of Baruntse expedition to my needs (e.g. I didn't fly to Lukla but went by jeep to Bung for better acclimatization). The company was flexible and there was no problem to follow my programm. I can honestly recommend them. The path to the summit was really difficult but worth of the struggle. And the assistance of my guide, Ngawa, was extraordinary. Andrzej (Poland)

      Wonderful Experience
      The trek was well-planned and we had sufficient time to acclimatise to the altitude. Ngima and his team were very attentive and patient to our needs and we felt very well taken care of. I am an amateur trekker but the trek was manageable for me physically. The scenery, including dreamy forests, rolling hills, terraces and giant snow capped mountains, was gorgeous! Overall a wonderful experience.

      Great experience with Annapurna Foothills!
      We had a great time doing the ABC trek with Annapurna Foothills! I must say the guides took care of us really well, both Nima and Mingma make sure that we are comfortable and our needs are met, especially this is a trip with teenagers. Other than the spectacular views at the base camp, the trek towards the base camp was nothing but a great experience. I will definitely engage Annapurna Foothills for future treks in Nepal!

      Many reasons to visit Annapurna with Annapurna Foothills Trek
      Nepal is a beautiful country and if you love the mountains and wish to see them for yourselves, Annapurna Foothills will ensure a fuss free trip for you and your friends, The guides are great and everyone works to make your stay comfortable and that your needs are addressed, The Annapurna Base Camp trek brings you up close to Annapurna I, 8091m and surrounded by majestic mountains. The duration is just right and altitude much easier to handle than the other famous treks. So give it a shot

      Mera Peak - October 2023
      Had an amazing time climbing Mera Peak with Annapurna Foothills! They have done an amazing job helping me getting prepared for my trip from the very beginning, they have been super responsive and offer excellent customer service, from picking me up at the airport to helping me getting the rest of my gear in Kathmandu, to dropping me off at the airport. I had an amazing experience with my climbing guide Mingmar, he went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and safe at all times. I highly recommend them, and if I ever come back to Nepal, I’ll definitely be using their services. Thanks team 🩵

    Revisited the Manaslu Circuit after 5 years: this time with my son, his first time in Nepal.
    It was quite an experience for him as there had been landslides following several days of rain the week before. This meant diversions and uncertainty about being able to go over the pass because it was closed for several days due to heavy snow. Our guide, Dawa, was wonderful and kept us informed with the changing circumstances and we successfully crossed the Larke La pass which was covered in snow and ice. It was tricky but we made it due to the experience, expertise and care of our guide. This was my second trek with Annapurna Foothills.
    After a short break in the lakeside town of Pokhara, I set off with my wife on a trek in the remote western area of Nepal to the revered Rara Lake, again with Annapurna Foothills. This in some respects was a pioneering trek of 8 days - again our guide’s experience proved invaluable in this most unusual, exciting and successful trek.
    Can’t recommend highly enough the thoroughness in the planning and care this company and staff afforded us. Throughout both treks the management kept in contact with our guide.
    My wife and I have trekked many times in Nepal over 20 years and our last expeditions with Annapurna Foothills have been the best. We are already planning another trek with them which speaks for itself.
