"Jiban
Ghimire and his crew at Sherpa Shangri-La Treks were
absolutely wonderful. We did Three Treks and one
expedition while we were in Nepal. Jiban took care of
all our needs and made the trip fantastic. The next time
we go to Nepal it will definitely be with Jiban and
Sherpa Shangri-La Treks. They far exceeded our
expectations!!!!"

The
massive Annapurna & Dhaulagri Himals dominate
Central Nepal, and this route north of Pokhara takes us
into a stunning wilderness with a 360-degree panorama of
spectacular Himalayan peaks. Starting in the tropical
lowland villages around Pokhara, We enter the Modi Khola
Gorge and follow the route under Machhapuchhare
(6997m.), entering the hidden world of Annapurna
Sanctuary. We trek to Deorali Pass, where some 3200
below run the Kali Gandaki River through the deepest
valley in the world. To the east stands Annapurna I
8091m., And the west is Dhawlagiri 8167m., an immense
massif, among the world's highest, most awe-inspiring
and unforgettable mountains. A circular route brings us
