We were a bit nervous bringing our two teenagers on the Annapurna Circuit, but Haven Holidays made it all feel manageable. They matched us with a wonderful guide who was great with kids, kept the mood upbeat, and ensured we were acclimatizing properly. The company’s support in planning, packing, and managing health on the trail was top-notch. Our kids still talk about the yaks, the prayer flags, and the apple pie in Manang. A family trip for the books.

I chose Haven Holidays because of their ethical stance on fair wages and sustainable trekking. They walk the talk. Our guide, Maya, was one of the few female guides on the trail, and she was amazing—professional, smart, and inspiring. The trek was tough in parts, especially the ascent to Thorong La pass one of the world highest pass, but we always felt prepared thanks to the well-paced itinerary. Every village, every mountain pass, every hot meal in a teahouse added up to a transformative experience. Book with Haven—you won't regret it.

We did a private Annapurna Circuit trek as our honeymoon adventure, and Haven Holidays delivered beyond expectations! They worked with us to customize the route to fit our time frame and fitness level. The pre-trip briefing in Kathmandu was helpful, and everything from permits to transport to lodging was perfectly handled. The scenery especially from Thorong La Pass—was jaw-dropping. But what made the trip so special was the warmth of the Haven team. It felt like trekking with friends, not just guides.

Trekking the Annapurna Circuit with Haven Holidays was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The itinerary was thoughtfully paced to allow for acclimatization, and the accommodations in teahouses were better than I expected. Our porter and guide made everything feel effortless—carrying our bags, securing the best rooms, and even helping us order the tastiest local dishes! It was clear that Haven Holidays has strong connections in the region and really cares about their guides and the communities we passed through.

I can't recommend the Annapurna Circuit trek with Haven Holidays enough! From the very first email, their team was incredibly responsive and helpful. Our guide, Kedar, was knowledgeable, patient, and full of stories that brought the mountains to life. The trek itself was stunning—every day offered new landscapes and cultural insights. Haven’s attention to detail and personal touch made the experience feel so much more meaningful than just a guided trek. I felt supported and safe the entire way. This was more than a hike—it was a journey I’ll remember forever.
