March 2025 brought me more than a trek—it brought transformation
I had long heard of the Annapurna Circuit as one of the world’s most breathtaking and soul-stirring hikes. But nothing could have truly prepared me for what I experienced. No formal training, no heavy-duty prep—just a deep breath, a steady mind, and years of yoga that quietly paved the way for this incredible journey.
The Steps That Led Me Inward
Climbing the endless stone steps, I fell into a rhythm that was oddly meditative. Each step was like a breath—inhale, exhale, rise. My legs moved on autopilot, but my mind felt grounded and present. There was something deeply spiritual about the repetition, the silence between footfalls, and the pulse of nature all around.
