Making a difference
The Annapurna trek is one the easiest and popular treks in Nepal. On the Annapurna trek you will be viewing a great many Himalayan peaks including 3 eight thousanders. You will be going through rhododendron, oak and pine forests along with impressive and friendly Gorkha villagers. The Annapurna trek is a great introduction to the Nepalese culture and landscapes.
Our trail passes through subtropical forest, grassy alpine meadows and colorful villages. From Pokhara (913m) we trek towards Ghodepani (2800m) climbing via Tadapani to a high ridge of Deorali with incredible views of Machapuchare (6997m), Annapurna South (7275m) and Dhaulagiri (8167m).The 'Fishtail Peak' of Machapuchare is one of the glories of Nepal along with the Annapurnas (Goddess of Grains), which tower into the sky. Mount Dhaulagiri, Annapurna Himalaya Range
We ascent and descent steeply through forests of rhododendron, Orchid and Primula passing through several Gurung villages with dramatic views of the Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and the Manaslu massif.

My husband and I went on a trek in Nepal this past August, and we had a fabulous time. It was truly the most unique, beautiful outdoor travel experience that either of us have ever had. For anyone considering trekking in the Himalayas, we highly recommend Raj Tamang as a guide. His company, Responsible Adventures (www.responsibleadventures.com) and (www.notjusttreks.com), is professional and customer-service oriented.
We were amazed at the ways that Raj and his employees went above and beyond to make this experience memorable for us. Raj is a 'walking encyclopedia' of information about the culture and history of Nepal, and his confident, welcoming nature put us at ease. He was experienced at facilitating positive, genuine interaction between Himalayan villagers and Western trekkers such as ourselves, and that made all the difference in our 10 days touring the Manang valley. His company offers a service that is truly a cut above the rest.
We can't wait for another opportunity to trek with Raj! Feel free to check out our story and pics at www.joshandelise2008.blogspot.com
