2009 Annapurna Trek in Nepal
Our Biggest Adventure yet !

(19 days with numerous optional extensions)

This will now easily be our biggest adventure yet. Not only will be going higher than we have ever been before but we will have at least 25 participants taking part in, not one, but TWO groups. The two groups will leave Australia 1 day apart and will meet up at 4 locations during the trip, including an unforgetable combined high altitude party at Kopra Ridge in the middle of the trek.

The plan is to fly from Australia to Kathmandu with a change of planes in Bangkok. We will have two nights in Kathmandu with a special tour of some of the amazing highlights of this fascinating city. We will then be transferring by air with a short flight along the Himalayan Range to Pokhara where our trek will begin.

 
The actual trek will last for 11 days, and will take in the absolute best parts of the Annapurna Region of the Himalaya, including a predawn walk to the summit of Poon Hill to view sunrise over the Himalaya, spectacular views along the Modi Khola Valley, visits to numerous small hill villages, and a walk to the very centre of the Annapurna Massive for up close viewing of the entire circle of 8000 metre peaks that make this area one of the most incredible spots on Earth. Most nights we will staying under canvas. This enables us to choose our camping locations to be in the very best possible spots, however 2 nights will be spent in local guest houses to experience another side of this unique experience and to allow you to stretch out.
 

Porters are supplied to carry all your gear and we will be fully supported with expert guides and cooks. All you need is a reasonable degree of fitness, a good camera to do justice to the views and a sense of adventure. The trekking group will be capped at a maximum size of 10-12 people and we already have several spots taken, so anyone planning to join us would be advised to put their name forward as soon as possible. The trip is suitable for both men and women of age 21 and over. The cost for this trip will be $4325.00 including international air fares, taxes, fuel surcharges, hotel accomodation in Kathamandu and Pokhara (6 nights), lodge accomodation (2 nights) , camping 9 nights, transfers, tour of Kathmandu, camping gear, guides and porters, most meals, etc, etc.

In order to book place you need to complete an application form and submit a $400 deposit. Although we have wildly exceeded all our expectations in terms of numbers, it may still be possible to include 1 or 2 extra people, but you would need to move MIGHTY FAST to get a place.

It's the stuff that dreams are made of, so don't just say "I can't come", before you really think it through. After all, life is far too short to just be a spectator - you have to live it. If you have any questions or would like to see a video of my last trek in Nepal, give me a call.

Update Note

As at the start of 2008 we already have 26 participants booked in for this adventure. We are taking not one, but TWO groups of travellers. Group 1 is definitely booked out but we could possibly still fit 1 or 2 people into group 2.
