I won a competition held by Wild Earth, the prize of which was to do the Annapurna Circuit trek, flights and with gear supplied by Osprey. Awesome! 12 weeks of fitness training later (thanx Chase Tucker of BaseCamp) and was in Kathmandu. Not a spring chicken at 65 years old but I was fit, and with 20 years karate training under my belt. The team than coordinated everything was awesome: our Guide was Rupes and the porters Sandip, Newjom, and Narain for our team of 6 trekkers. Hotels, transfers, meals, tourist trips, jeep trevel and flights were all taken care of. We were waited on so had little to do ourselves. As issues and challenges arose (as they will) the team took it in its stride. One of our team was helicoptered out and it was all dealt with professionally. High praise all round. We had a wonderfully friendly time with the gang and laughs and jokes abounded. I could not have wanted it better. Not saying it was easy - you climb to 5000m of Tilicho Lake and 5400m of Tharongala pass and you hurt! But we did it, I did it, bloody marvelous. Top marks to the whole outfit and I highly recommend them for their skill, tenacity and endless fun. Love you guys! 😎🙏🏔🇳🇵
We did a 8 days trek to reach the annapurna base camp. The company organized everything perfectly well with a really good price! The experience wouldn't have been without our guide Suman, he was always here for us (book the best guest house, always in a good mood and gives you really good advices). I really recommend to do the trek with Himalaya hub and ask for Suman! Really incredible experience.

Annapurna Circuit Trek
I could not have asked for a better team on the ground in Nepal. The guide and porters held a lot of knowledge and experience in the mountains. They were also a lot of fun and provided a lot of laughs during the times when I felt well! But I also became unwell, so it was reassuring to know that I was in safe hands and that everything was taken care of, e.g. organising the helicopter out to communicating with my insurance company back home. Many thanks to Himalaya Hub Adventure!
Note: To trekkers preparing for this trek, check the map in advance, there are some sections starting out where road has replaced original parts of the trail. Talk to your guide about this and alternatives. Also, booking accommodation ahead of time, we were there in October and the guesthouses were overflowing!
Walked the Annapurna Circuit with the Himalaya Hub team in mid October, and had a fantastic time. They really go the extra mile to ensure that everyone's needs are covered, and were also very flexible when it came to the changes we wanted to make to the trek itinerary, often decided on the fly! The young HH team was incredibly social, and keen to really be part of it all, which added so much extra enjoyment to our experience. Would not hesitate to recommend.
I completed the Annapurna Circuit with rupesh as my guide - and had a FANTASTIC time. The sights were amazing, mountains beautiful and Rupesh was awesome - great company and hugely accomodating of our on the fly changes to our itenary. As a plus, we also had the best Dalbhat in tilicho base camp, and saw a beautiful sunrise in Pokhara (Both of which were add-ons). Thanks Rupesh!!
