Client Review

The Most Adventurous Trip Annapurna Circuit Trek

I and my husband went for Annapurna Circuit Trek which was of 15 days. We were briefly explained about the trek which we were going to undertake. The next day we drive to Besisahar from Kathmandu which was 8 hours. The road to Besisahar was off-road. Due to the road, we were a little tired so we spend our night at a local guesthouse. There the accommodation was quite comfortable. We did carry our camera gear. We could capture beautiful moments together. We had an altitude problem in Thorung La pass. This trail was a bit challenging. We had a unique trek. We thank and recommended Magic Expedition Tours for this amazing trek.

A Unforgettable Journey With lovely Team

Annapurna Circuit trek was so amazing that I didn’t even thought that it will be still memorable and remain fresh on my mind. We really had a good time during our trek. Those views were just spellbinding. We didn’t have much knowledge on trekking but when we went to Magic Expedition Tours every confusion was sorted out. They explained well about the trek and trials. As it was my first trek I had a little bit of difficulty because I don’t walk too often. But our guide was really supportive. Finally, I completed my trek and it was amazing. I would recommend Magic Expedition Tours for this Annapurna Circuit Trek as it will be so much refreshing.
