    Went on the Annapurna Circuit Trek with Discovery World Trekking in May 2024. Paul was great at getting the trip organised, it was seamless start to end. Our guides Maansing and Nir were the best. The trek was conducted in a safe and professional manner, ensuring the group travelled together and everyone was always accounted for. They also taught us about the rich culture, food, flora, and fauna of Nepal from city to mountain. The porters were also essential to making the hike possible - carrying fully loaded backpack from 800m to 5,400m is not for most people. Thank you Jagat, Durga, Tek, Bim Aloo, Shankur. Would definitely recommend working with Paul and his team again.

    This was definitely an unforgettable trek, incredibly beautiful, physically challenging, meet lots of lovely people, and my guide Dev was clearly very experienced and I was very taken care of. He's also a fun guy. He sorted all the transportation, accommodation, food, etc, he knew all the trekking routes by heart, and he could explain some things to me. It was also sometimes helpful to have that consistent pace to get through a tough day of hiking. He even went beyond at some points, for example I didn't hire a porter and the sleeping bag and down jacket they lent me was quite heavy so when Dev saw I was struggling a bit with the altitude and steep uphill ascents, he offered to carry the sleeping bag. I will say that the language barrier with the guide was challenging. Lots of important things were difficult to communicate, let alone just having light playful chat. But we usually figured it out. Sometimes I found it helpful that he could translate certain things for me to the locals. Also I felt that I had to put my foot down a lot on things that I wanted, like what pace we walk at, who I walk with, where we rest and how long, where I sit to eat, etc. I'm very independent and like to be spontaneous, so in retrospect I would have not gone with a guide if I knew I didn't need one for Annapurna. I would've just met people on the way and travel with them and figured it out as I go along. Having said that, if you want a guide, this is probably the best company for sure. On the trail the other companies seemed okay but not quite up to the same standard. Depends what you want really.

    I had a very pleasant and extremely fun experience doing the 14-day Annapurna Circuit trek (without Tilicho Lake) with Discovery World Trekking as my trekking partner. Our guide Maansing took great care of our group of 9 by ensuring our safety along the trek, sorting out our lodging and taking care of our complicated meal requests (sorry) with the assistant guide Nir, allowing us to experience the trek in ultimate comfort. The porters (Bhim, Durga, Jagat, Sankar and Tek) were also friendly and helpful despite the language barrier, and I couldn’t have been more grateful when they helped carry my backpack for the last leg towards the high pass when I got hit with mild altitude sickness. The entire crew felt like a close-knitted family, laughing and dancing to Nepali songs whenever they had a chance to (even when trekking downwards a slippery path–the skills!) I wholeheartedly recommend choosing Discovery World Trekking, and choosing Maansing and team as your crew!

    I recently completed a tour of the Annapurna Circuit with Sanjaya as my guide and Bimal as my porter, and it was a truly life-changing experience. From start to finish, I felt completely at ease with Sanjaya. He quickly learned what I liked and tailored the trip to my interests, giving me the space to explore while also serving as an excellent companion and photographer. His photography skills are remarkable, capturing stunning memories of the journey. Throughout the trek, both Sanjaya and Bimal ensured that I was well-fed and comfortably accommodated. Their attentiveness made the challenging trek much more enjoyable. The highlights of the trip included breathtaking views of Tilicho Lake, the Thorong La Pass, and the panoramic vistas from Poon Hill, showcasing more than five majestic mountains. This experience was out of this world, and I have absolutely no regrets. I wholeheartedly recommend Discovery World Trekking to anyone considering this adventure. Their professionalism and dedication turned my dream trip into a reality.
