Solo Hiking 260 km. Annapurna Circuit, Nepal Himalaya
In this video, I want to share my solo 260 km. trek experience around the Annapurna massif without a guide or porter, which I completed from late April to early May 2024. Along the way, I stayed with local families, experienced their culture and played football with mountain kids. The trek was challenging but incredibly rewarding with stunning Himalayan views. I hope this video inspires you to explore this beautiful region on your own. Thanks for watching.

    Perfect, Just perfect… I stumbled upon this gem because of UA-cam algorithm, I’m glad I did. First and foremost it’s a beautiful trail , you have captured it perfectly to its last inch. Each shot, each scenery is just beautifully captured. Story telling without much noise is more interesting. I’m blown away by shot setup, when I see a wide shot or shot with you walking far away from camera , it’s dedication at its peak. The time and effort to take those shots is to be appreciated. This is more like a documentary captured in most beautifully possible. Shoutout to all the locals you hv interacted, they were just pure souls with priceless smile on their face. Thanks you is all I can say, it’s a masterpiece 🙌🏻🙏

For me, the Himalayas, Tibet, Karakorum and their surroundings are like heaven on earth.
