Hi There....

...Arriving in Kathmandu tomorrow and am hoping to find a companion or two to share a guide and porter with for either Annapurna Circuit or for Jonsom + some Kathmandu valley shorter treks. Socially and ecologically responsible hiring & trekking practices are a priority.


I'm a 37 y/o woman from San Francisco, California, and just finished my first trek in Ladakh earlier this month. I'm in good physical shape, but altitude does affect me adversely so I'd want to take the high passes on the slow side (say 18-20 days for Annapurna circuit?), taking time to enjoy the scenery and the people and maybe do some side trips.

I need to leave Nepal October 26. As you can tell, my routes are flexible but my date range isn't...

If these dates and notions work for you, drop me a line-
Namaste,
Dawn

Hi Dawn

I 've just arrived in Kathmandu and am looking for trekking companions for the Annapurna Circuit. I'd like to start in the next week or so, but am flexible as I'm in Nepal until mid Nov. If you fancy getting in touch, I'm staying in the Tibet Holiday Inn in Thamel or just message me.(Oh- I'm Grahame, 30 from the UK by the way!)

hey Graham,

Saw your earlier posts, but wasn't sure our dates would gel. I don't have time to do the sanctuary as an add-on..

I'm fresh off the plane and staying at Hotel Courtyard if you want to drop me a line & chat. or send a private msg (that function doesn't seem to be working for me).

I'm now also considering Langtang as a somewhat shorter option to give me time to explore Kath. valley & lumpini. Don't know if multiple treks interest you...

best,
Dawn
