🏔️ My 12-Day Annapurna Circuit Trek Experience - A Guide's Personal Journey

🏔️ My 12-Day Annapurna Circuit Trek Experience - A Guide's Personal Journey

27/06/2025

By Yogesh Kunwar – Founder & Trekking Guide


The Annapurna Circuit Trek is more than just a trail—it's a journey through some of Nepal’s most stunning landscapes, vibrant mountain villages, and spiritual moments. I’ve done this trek many times as a guide, but every time, it brings something new. Here, I’ll share my recent 12-day Annapurna Circuit experience, step by step—from Dharapani to Thorong La Pass, all the way to Pokhara.

🚙 Day 1: Jeep Ride to Dharapani

We started with a long but scenic jeep ride from Kathmandu to Dharapani, the starting point of our trek. It’s always a bit bumpy, but full of excitement knowing that the mountains are calling.

🪶 Day 2: Dharapani to Chame

We began our trek from Dharapani to Chame, the district headquarters of Manang. The trail passed through beautiful pine forests, traditional houses, and peaceful Buddhist chortens. Food and accommodation in Chame were excellent—clean rooms, warm meals, and friendly local people.

🍏 Day 3: Chame to Upper Pisang (via Bhartang Apple Farm)

After around 1.5 hours of walking from Chame, we reached Bhartang Village, famous for its apple farming. Here, I had fresh apple juice and apple cider (apple slider)—honestly, the best I’ve ever tried!As a guide, I always stop here with my groups. After that refreshing break, we continued to Upper Pisang, a village with magical views of Annapurna II and the surrounding peaks.

🌾 Day 4: Upper Pisang to Manang

This part of the trek is my favorite—breathtaking landscapes, Tibetan-influenced villages, and towering cliffs. Manang sits at 3,540 meters and is one of the most charming places in the Annapurna region.

We stayed in a cozy teahouse, but I also explored small local restaurants where I had delicious yak sukuti (Nepali dried meat snack) and momos. Sukuti, especially from yak meat, is smoky, chewy, and full of flavor. If you’re in Manang, don’t miss it!

🏔️ Day 5–6: Acclimatization in Manang

We spent two nights here for acclimatization. On our rest day, we hiked 500m uphill to a tea house with an amazing mountain view, had some tea, and came back down to visit the Gangapurna Lake—a glacial lake with stunning turquoise water.

⛰️ Day 7: Manang to Ledar (4,200m)

Now the trail begins to rise. We trekked slowly to Ledar, enjoying the alpine landscape. The mountain air gets thinner, but the views become even more dramatic.

🏥 Day 8: Ledar to High Camp

Originally, we planned to stay at Low Camp, but since the whole group was feeling good, we hiked 1 hour more to High Camp (4,900m). It’s a bit tougher, but this gave us a head start for crossing the pass.

❄️ Day 9: Thorong La Pass (5,416m) to Muktinath

We woke up at 3:00 am, packed our breakfast, and started walking at 4:00 am with headlamps on. It took us about 3 hours to reach Thorong La Pass, the highest point of the trek. At 5,416m, with prayer flags fluttering and snow under our boots, it felt like standing on the roof of the world.

After a short break for photos, we began the long descent to Muktinath, which took around 6 hours. Tired but proud, we stayed the night in this sacred town.

📟️ Day 10: Visit to Muktinath Temple, Drive to Pokhara

Early morning, we visited Muktinath Temple, bathed under the 108 holy taps, and offered our prayers. After breakfast, we took a jeep ride to Pokhara, reaching by 5:00 pm. We enjoyed a peaceful evening walk along Phewa Lake—a perfect way to end a long trek.

🌄 Day 11: Exploring Pokhara

This was our relaxing day in Pokhara. We visited:

Pumdikot Shiva Statue

World Peace Pagoda

International Mountain Museum

Boating for 2 hours on Phewa LakeIn the evening, we walked the Lakeside area, found a nice restaurant for lunch, and ended the day with a pizza at Godfather Pizzeria.


✈️ Day 12: Return to Kathmandu

After breakfast, we took a short flight back to Kathmandu, bringing home incredible memories and the feeling of accomplishment. Another successful journey!

✅ Final Thoughts

As a trekking guide, this was one of the most enjoyable and smooth Annapurna Circuit treks I’ve ever done. The landscapes, local culture, food, and of course, my amazing group made it unforgettable.

If you’re planning the Annapurna Circuit Trek, I highly recommend this route. Take your time, stay hydrated, and don’t miss Bhartang apple juice, yak sukuti, or a peaceful moment in Manang.

♻️ 3 Days Spiritual Tour in Nepal – My Experience

28/06/2025

By Yogesh Kunwar – Nepal Boundary Trekking Agency

Nepal is not just about mountains. As a guide and local traveler, I’ve always felt a deep connection to the spiritual side of Nepal. Recently, I took a few days to visit some of the most sacred and cultural places in the Kathmandu Valley. I want to share that journey with you here. This is a great 3-day trip for anyone who wants to explore the history, art, and spiritual energy of Nepal—even if you don’t plan to trek.

🏛️ Day 1: Pashupatinath & Budhanilkantha

We started the day early by visiting the Pashupatinath Temple – one of the most important Hindu tempworth visiting.

You can walk along the Bagmati River, see the open cremation ghats, and explore the area with many sadhus (holy men) and ancient shrines. The spiritual energy around Pashupatinath is powerful. I saw one baba giving blessings to people – and with his permission, I even took his photo.

After Pashupatinath, we drove about 25 minutes to Budhanilkantha Temple, where there is a large sleeping statue of Lord Vishnu lying on a bed of serpents in a water pond. It’s peaceful and beautiful. Locals come here to pray, meditate, or just sit quietly.


🏛️ Day 2: Bhaktapur Durbar Square & Patan Durbar Square

This day was all about culture and history. First, we visited Bhaktapur Durbar Square, a beautifully preserved old city with ancient temples, pottery, and wooden art. Walking through the narrow brick streets of Bhaktapur felt like stepping back in time. We tried the famous "Juju Dhau" (King Yogurt), which is a must-try.

After lunch, we went to Patan Durbar Square in Lalitpur. Patan is known for its fine metal and stone carvings, and we spent time exploring the temples and museum. The golden temple, Krishna Mandir, and the calm courtyards make it one of my favorite places in the valley.


🏛️ Day 3: Kathmandu Durbar Square, Boudhanath & Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple)

On the final day, we visited Kathmandu Durbar Square, where the old royal palace still stands. You can also see the house of the living goddess, Kumari. I always enjoy watching the old Newari architecture and local life moving around this historical center.


Next, we headed to Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest and most sacred Buddhist Stupa in Nepal. The energy here is clam and meditative. Tibetan prayer flags flutter in the wind, and pilgrims circle the stupa with prayer wheels. I love sitting on the rooftop cafe here, sipping tea, and just watching the spiritual rhythm of place.

In the afternoon, we drove up to Swayambhunath Stupa, also known as the Monkey Temple. This is one of the oldest Buddhist stupas in Nepal. From the top, you can see a panoramic view of the whole Kathmandu Valley. It’s the perfect place to reflect and end the trip.


✅ Why I Recommend This Tour

Great for families, couples, or solo travelers

No trekking required, but deeply connected to Nepal’s spirit

You will see both Hindu and Buddhist culture

Easy pace, with time to relax and enjoy local food

Buddhism in Nepal - The Birthplace of the Buddha and Living Spiritual Heritage

Buddhism in Nepal - The Birthplace of the Buddha and Living Spiritual Heritage

20/06/2025

Nepal is a sacred land where the enlightened one, Siddhartha Gautama - the Buddha, was born over 2,600 years ago. As the birthplace of Buddhism, Nepal holds immense spiritual value for Buddhist around the world.

But Buddhism in Nepal is not just ancient history - it's a living religion, practiced daily by million in monasteries, temples, and mountain villages.


A Peaceful Blend if Faiths

Buddhism and Hinduism coexist harmoniously in Nepal. You’ll often find Buddhist stupas beside Hindu shrines, and many deities are shared between the two faiths.

   The majority of Buddhists in Nepal belong to:

* The Newar Buddhists in Kathmandu Valley (Mahayana tradition)

* The Tibetan Buddhist communities in northern Nepal (Vajrayana tradition)

* Theravada Buddhist monks who have revived monastic traditions in the modern era

   Key Buddhist Sites in Nepal
1. Lumbini – Birthplace of the Buddha

Located in the Rupandehi district of southern Nepal, Lumbini is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most sacred Buddhist destinations in the world.

Highlights:

 *  Maya Devi Temple (Buddha’s birthplace)

  *  Ashoka Pillar

  * Sacred Pond and Bodhi Tree

 * International Monastic Zone (with monasteries from 20+ countries)

2. Boudhanath Stupa – Heart of Tibetan Buddhism

One of the largest stupas in the world, Boudhanath in Kathmandu is a center of Tibetan Buddhism. Its peaceful atmosphere, spinning prayer wheels, and fluttering prayer flags attract thousands of pilgrims and tourists daily.

3. Swayambhunath – The Monkey Temple

Sitting atop a hill, Swayambhunath offers panoramic views of Kathmandu Valley and a deep spiritual presence. It’s believed to be one of the oldest Buddhist sites in Nepal.

4. Kopan Monastery

Located near Boudhanath, this is a center for Buddhist learning where foreigners can join retreats and meditation programs.

5. Namobuddha

A serene hilltop pilgrimage site 40 km from Kathmandu, Namobuddha is where the Buddha, in a previous life, offered his body to a hungry tigress and her cubs — a powerful story of compassion.

  Buddhism Today in Nepal

 From chanting monks in remote monasteries to city dwellers doing morning kora (circumambulation)     around stupas, Buddhism is alive in daily life.

Boudhanath stupas in Kathmandu, Nepal - a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest Buddhist stupa in the world, with colorful prayer flags and a serene spiritual ambiance.

Discovering Kathmandu: A Journey Through Nepal’s Cultural Heart

20/06/2025

Nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, Kathmandu is more than just Nepal’s capital—it's a vibrant tapestry of culture, history, spirituality, and life. For anyone seeking an unforgettable travel experience, a visit to Kathmandu offers a rare blend of ancient tradition and modern chaos that’s both humbling and exhilarating.

First Impressions: Chaos Meets Charm

Stepping into Kathmandu can feel overwhelming at first. The traffic buzzes, the air is thick with incense and exhaust, and the streets are alive with energy. But give it time—and the city slowly reveals its magic. Friendly locals, colorful prayer flags fluttering in the breeze, and the distant hum of Buddhist chants create a surreal, almost otherworldly experience.

Must-Visit Places in Kathmandu

1. Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple)

Perched atop a hill overlooking the city, this ancient stupa is one of the most iconic symbols of Nepal. The panoramic view of Kathmandu Valley is breathtaking, especially during sunset. Be ready to share the path with curious monkeys!

2. Pashupatinath Temple

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Pashupatinath is one of the most sacred Hindu temples in the world. Watching the evening aarti (ritual with fire and chanting) on the banks of the Bagmati River is a deeply spiritual experience—even for non-Hindus.

3. Boudhanath Stupa

A serene place to slow down. Walk clockwise with the monks, spin the prayer wheels, and absorb the peaceful energy. Surrounded by Tibetan shops and cafes, Boudhanath is a center of Tibetan Buddhism in Nepal.

4. Kathmandu Durbar Square

This historical square showcases exquisite Newar architecture, centuries-old temples, and palaces. Despite damage from the 2015 earthquake, the square retains its royal grandeur and remains a cultural hub.

Food: A Flavorful Adventure

Kathmandu’s food scene is a fusion of flavors—from traditional Nepali dal bhat to spicy momos (dumplings) and Tibetan thukpa (noodle soup). Try Newari cuisine if you’re feeling adventurous—buffalo meat, beaten rice, and spicy pickles that locals love.

Don’t miss:

  • Street momos at Asan Bazaar

  • Himalayan Java Coffee for a cozy café break

  • Samyak vegan or vegetarian options in Thamel

Shopping in Thamel: Souvenirs and Spirituality

Thamel is the beating heart of Kathmandu’s tourism. It’s where you’ll find everything from yak wool scarves and singing bowls to trekking gear and traditional thangka paintings. Bargaining is part of the culture—so negotiate with a smile!

Tips for a Smooth Visit

  • Dress modestly, especially at temples and religious sites.

  • Be prepared for power cuts and occasional water shortages.

  • Carry a mask, especially during dry season—dust and pollution can be intense.

  • Respect local customs, especially around sacred spaces.

Final Thoughts: A City That Stays With You

Kathmandu isn’t just a destination—it’s an experience. It’s in the chanting monks, the smiling faces, the chaotic alleys, and the scent of incense at sunrise. It’s a place where time feels suspended between the past and the present.

If you’re open to the unexpected and ready to embrace the beautiful messiness of life, Kathmandu will stay with you long after you leave.
