Description

๐Ÿ™ NAMASTE, FELLOW ADVENTURERS!

We are beyond thrilled to invite you on one of the most iconic and breathtaking treks on Earth โ€” the legendary Annapurna Circuit. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or this is your first Himalayan adventure, this journey promises to reshape how you see the world โ€” and yourself.

Over 17 extraordinary days, we will wind through ancient villages, alpine meadows, prayer-flag-strung passes and sacred valleys โ€” culminating in the legendary Thorung La Pass at 5,416m, one of the highest trekking passes in the world.

We've taken care of every detail so you can focus on what truly matters: the mountains, the magic, and the memories. We can't wait to share this adventure with you. The trail is calling โ€” are you ready to answer?

Communication and Next steps: If you're seriously interested in joining this adventure, please send me a message through Hiking Buddies with a brief introduction about your hiking experience and what draws you to the Annapurna Circuit. From there, I will personally reach out to you via email to discuss the next steps.

Please note that if we haven't met before, you will receive an introductory email from me as part of the joining process. I kindly ask that you respond within 48 hours so we can keep things moving smoothly for everyone involved. Looking forward to hearing from you โ€” and hopefully sharing this incredible journey together! ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ™


Cost: We are excited to have members joining us all the way from Germany and India, making this a truly international adventure! ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ”

As participants are travelling from different countries, costs and other relevant details will be shared individually and discussed further in a group communication once everyone is confirmed.

Just a friendly heads-up โ€” this is of course a paid event, and full pricing details will be communicated accordingly. ๐Ÿ˜Š


Planning: All you need to do is to block your holidays from work and manage your personal commitments.
