    It was easy to deal with Ram Barakoti on the arrangement of the return car private transfer from Pokhara to kathmandu. Driver was punctual and the ride was still bearable despite the road condition. Overall I am happy with the arrangement. Thanks!

    Would definitely recommend. Ram Barakoti and his team kept us well informed throughout our lovely journey both in and out if the mountains and they were super friendly. Not only did my family and I feel valued, but also all the staff (guide, porters, admin etc).

    This was an amazing trek. My guide, Gelu Sherpa, was the best. He was personable, knowledgeable, helpful, and hilarious, and we became good friends over the 8 days of the trek. Count yourself lucky if you get to trek with Gelu Sherpa Guide.

All questions
  • M

    Melanie

    Asked on June 23rd, 2025

    I don't have any previous experience with high altitude trekking and I am planning to do your 8 day Annapurna circuit trek. Will I be okay with the elevation gain and experience any symptoms of acute mountain sickness? If so what are your safety measures if I do experience this.

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Sherpa Expedition TeamsOperatorWritten June 2025

      This trek can be a bit challenging, so we recommend allowing at least 2-3 buffer days in your itinerary. If you experience any symptoms of altitude sickness, it's best to take a rest day and try again the following day. Some beginners have completed the trek without issues, but altitude sickness is unpredictable and can affect anyone. If you start to feel symptoms—or even as a precaution before beginning the trek—you may consider taking Diamox. If symptoms persist, please rest and attempt the trek the next day.

    • M

      Melanie

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      So in the scenario where we would have to take a rest day, how does that look logistically? I assume we would be in a group right? Would I hike the rest by myself as the group goes ahead?

    • M

      Melanie

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      In the case of medical treatment, what would that look like?

    • Sherpa Expedition TeamsOperatorWritten June 2025

      For normal medical treatment in Manang, there is a clinic available. Additionally, your guide will carry basic medications that can help with common issues, including altitude-related symptoms. To prevent altitude sickness, it's essential to: Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated with electrolytes, Enjoy ginger tea and garlic soup, which are traditionally helpful, Walk slowly and allow your body time to acclimate. In case of a serious emergency, helicopter evacuation may be necessary. Therefore, it is highly recommended to purchase travel insurance that includes coverage for altitudes up to 6,000 meters, including helicopter rescue and medical expenses.
