Our particular route was part of the newly created Community Eco Trek. The route went through Nangi, Mohare Dhanda, Poon Hill, Chistibang, Tikot, Khopra Dhanda, Paudwar and Tatopani. Raj took us through specific routes where the rhododendron forests were flowering which was an incredible sight. The sunrise from Khopra Dhanda with a view of Dhaulagiri is stunning and I would recommend adding this to anyone's trek. Raj also had an amazing knowledge of the area taking us along specific routes away from the crowds. All the planning and logistics were seamless. I was recommended Rajkumar as a guide by a friend and would happily recommend him to anybody.

Annapurna Circuit is one of the best trekking trails in the world in terms of its outstanding scenery. This trail lies in the northwestern Himalayas of Nepal. Annapurna Circuit Trek is also called Annapurna Round trekking because it circles the Annapurna massif. The trek offers an amazing panorama of snowy Mt. Manaslu (8187 m), Mt. Annapurna, Mt. Hiunchuli, Mt. Gangapurna, Mt. Nilgiri, Mt. Dhaulagiri, and many other Himalayan peaks. The highest point of the Annapurna Circuit is the Thorong La (5416m), considered the longest mountain pass in the world.
Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a popular moderate trekking trail in the Annapurna region of Nepal. Annapurna Base Camp is one of the best options for trekking because it offers a fascinating view of mountains arranged in a way that forms a loop. Also known as Annapurna Sanctuary trekking, it is the most celebrated trekking holiday package in Nepal. The trail includes Ghorepani, Poon Hill, and Ghandruk, offering diverse terrains, culture, and wildlife.
Mohare Trek is a community-based eco-trek in the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri region. This off-the-beaten-path trek offers stunning mountain views, authentic village experiences, and the chance to stay in Rajkumar's home village of Tikot. Perfect for those seeking a quieter, more culturally immersive trekking experience.
The Annapurna I Base Camp Trek, also known as the North Annapurna Base Camp or Narchyang Trail, is a short but adventurous route to the north face of Annapurna I (8,091 m), the first 8,000-metre peak ever climbed. Starting from Narchyang near Tatopani in Myagdi district, the trail follows the Myagdi River through rhododendron forests, waterfalls and the remote Panchakunda (five sacred lakes) before reaching the base camp at 4,190 m. Unlike the crowded Annapurna Sanctuary route, this is a quiet camping trek with raw alpine scenery and very few other trekkers.
