Annapurna Circuit Trek
Mr. Dhruba Bhatta guided us through the Annapurna circuit trek in April 2011.
I contacted Dhruba Bhatta a couple of months earlier and through the net, we defined the timetable of our trekking. During this time Dhruba was available online for us and gently settled all the issues raised us.
We arrived from Israel through transit in Mumbai to Katmandu airport where he met us with warm hospitality. After one night's stay in a boutique hotel in Thamel, he took us by bus to the starting point Besisahar.
From this point, he took us safely through a ten-day walk (approximately – 130 km) through Manang 3500 meters, Throng la – 5500 ending in the beautiful villages Muktinath, Jomsom, and Pokhara.
During these days he carefully took care of all our needs, starting from adjusting the trekking to our fitness, staying and dining in beautiful guest houses, directing the porters that took care of our belongings in the mountains, keeping us safe in the increasing, sometimes extreme altitude environment which can become every moment dangerous to a human being.
After the trekking, in the evening Dhruba Bhatta and his team and I together had a nice time and long talks where he introduced us to the Nepali tradition, lifestyle, etc. During these talks, we learned that Dhruba runs trekking in other areas of Nepal, Everest base camp, ABC, Poon Hill, etc.
The Annapurna trekking under his guidance became a lovely and most importantly safe experience and I would recommend warmly Dhruba Bhatta to everyone who wishes to go through guided trekking in the beautiful mountains of Nepal.
