I did the annapurna circuit and went through Thorung lo Pass. It was an amazing experience both culturally and geographically.
The company did a great job at making the experience as personal as possible and gave strong guidance on itineraries but also gave me the freedom to modify as I wanted. I was well accommodated and the price was more than fair for what it got me. The price included all accommodations on the trek and 3 meals a day, as well as the transportation. The accommodations were reasonable quality and though I would not say "luxury" they had the necessary amenities.
I was solo so I had a personal guide, Mahindra. He was an excellent guide and spoke english well enough to communicate everything we were doing. He was very experienced and made sure to keep me safe. I never felt lost or like I was not being listened to. He always made sure it was a good experience. He does come from the country side of Nepal and has been a guide for decades so he has lots of perspectives and interesting stories about the areas.
Overall great experience. I would highly recommend both the company and the guide.
