Unguided trek to Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 m) & other things Nepal🇳🇵

Hey there,

On 9th June 2024, I made it to the Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 m) WITHOUT a guide or a porter. It was one of the craziest and most fulfilling experiences of my life. 💪

Before I dive into the details of the trek, I have some exciting updates about our upcoming Indonesia trip. 🇮🇩 We've tweaked the itinerary and pricing to make the trip more flexible for everyone.

We understand that you may be skeptical about trying water sports like surfing or diving. But hey, this doesn’t mean you won’t get a chance to do it—you just don’t need to decide right away. If, while we’re there, you fancy trying it, you absolutely can! 😃

Our goal is to make this trip enjoyable for everyone—whether you're an adventure lover🚵‍♀️, a foodie 🍲, a party animal 🎉, a nature enthusiast 🌿, a photography buff 📸, a souvenir shopper 🛍️, or if you simply want to relax and chill 😌.

Now, back to the trek—here's everything you need to know about it:

Trek Stats:
Distance: ~60 kms
Elevation: 1,700m - 4,130m
Weight of my bag: 8-10 kgs
Duration: 7 days (6 hike days)

🚨 LAST CALL FOR LADAKH! Is it safe? YES. Is it epic? Also YES. Hey there, We’ve had a lot of questions lately about the upcoming Ladakh road trip – and it’s time we clear the air. Here’s the deal: ❄️ Ladakh ≠ Kashmir 1️⃣ Ladakh is a separate Union Territory It has its own administration and a completely different ground reality. 2️⃣ Pahalgam to Leh is over 500 km away That’s a 14+ hour mountain drive — a different region altogether. 3️⃣ No history of unrest in Ladakh There's been no history...

Swipe Right on Ladakh: Perfect Roads, Wild Views, Zero Red Flags Last year, I hiked to Annapurna Base Camp solo—no guide, no group, just me, my backpack, and a whole lot of dal bhat. 🥾I tracked every rupee, and yep, it turned out way cheaper than an organized group tour. But here’s the thing: DIY trekking only works if you’ve done a few already, know how to plan, don’t panic easily, and can handle altitude sickness..For first-timers or not-so-seasoned adventurers, paying that extra money for...
