Annapurna Circuit Delivered Everything We Hoped For

We were unsure whether to choose Manaslu or Annapurna, but the Annapurna Circuit Trek turned out to be amazing. The highlight was crossing Thorong La at sunrise. Sole Encounters Adventures managed permits, accommodation, and daily pace professionally. The support team constantly checked our condition at altitude, which gave us confidence throughout the trek.

Choosing Manaslu Over Annapurna Was the Right Decision

After comparing the Manaslu Circuit Trek and Annapurna Circuit Trek, I decided to go with Manaslu through Sole Encounters Adventures. The experience was remote, peaceful, and culturally rich. Crossing Larkya La was tough but incredibly rewarding. Our guide handled acclimatization perfectly and made the entire journey feel safe and well organized. Highly recommended for trekkers wanting a less crowded Himalayan route.

A Perfectly Managed Everest Base Camp Adventure

Trekking to Everest Base Camp with Sole Encounters Adventures was one of the best travel decisions I have ever made. From the first email, Prashant was responsive and helpful, answering all my questions about altitude, preparation, and logistics.

Our guide, Nima Sherpa, was experienced and encouraging, and our porter was incredibly hardworking and kind. When one of our group members felt tired in Dingboche, the team adjusted the schedule slightly to ensure proper rest and safety. That level of care made a huge difference.

The views of Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam were breathtaking every single day. The organization, safety standards, and genuine hospitality of the team made this trek both comfortable and inspiring. I would confidently recommend Sole Encounters Adventures to anyone considering the Everest Base Camp Trek.
