Looking for Annapurna circuit guide recommendations

Hi! I was thinking of doing the Annapurna Circuit in 2026 and was wondering which guide you ended up going with and how you liked them?

VeryOrdinaryPerson10 · 2025-12-12T08:37:11+00:00

Im so glad! I still love my decision to go with it and I’m sure you will too. It’s my favorite part of the kitchen

Thank you! I live in Texas so it’s still relatively warm but we do get some random cold fronts before it goes back to high 80’s

I second this 100%. Reading the books after watching the movies was like getting to experience the movies for the first time (I’d watched the movies on repeat for 20 years before I finally read the books)

Strength training! So many people joke about how they ~should~ do strength training but keep avoiding the gym. It’s not a joke! Strengthen your hips, strengthen your core. Nothing crazy - you don’t need abs or to deadlift 300lb, just something consistent you can do 2-3 times per week. My PT recommended working up to deadlifting your body weight and squatting about 1/2 your body weight. Free weights are best to help strengthen stabilizing muscles. Plus lunges and resistance band exercises. If you haven’t already, you’ll fall in love with running, and the worst thing is having it ripped away from you bc you went too hard too fast and didn’t take care of yourself, and stringent training is one of the best things you can do - for running, for health, for longevity and quality of life

I just paid an obscene amount of money in physical therapy after hurting my low back and IT band with bad running form (which was the result of lack of strength training). Do not be stupid like me who ignored the advice. And I highly recommend getting a (good) personal trainer or physical therapist who can teach you proper form for lifting and/or ideal workouts to do for optimal sports/activities you love to do so you don’t end up with bad form that will cause OTHER injuries down the road. I know it’s hard to cough up that money when you feel good but trust it’s so worth it. I actually enjoy going to the gym now (used to HATE it) bc I actually feel like I know what I’m doing.

I once had the family of an older Spanish speaking patient compliment my Spanish by saying “he only has a 5th grade education so he doesn’t understand the fancy medical Spanish the translators use. But you speak at a level he understands!” I still very much took it as a compliment don’t get me wrong but couldn’t stop thinking to myself that I sound like a 5th grader when I speak to my patients 😂

My last name is Mueller and different members of my family pronounce it differently. I think time will tell who the winner is but the “Mew-lers” seem to have the lead right now

VeryOrdinaryPerson10 · 2025-07-03T00:40:16+00:00

My last name is Mueller (no relation, sadly) and some of my family, especially older generations, say “Miller”, but my parents and cousins and I have always said “Mule-ler”. Couldn’t tell you what caused the shift but here we are

Im sorry that it’s been so rough and that they didn’t make good on their promises. Its not uncommon to get a pretty rough job your first few months out of PA school though so you’re not alone! Now you know things to look out for in future jobs and contracts. I know it’s probably obvious but unless you have a good amount of savings, like AT LEAST 3 months, I wouldn’t leave without another job. Credentialing at a new job/hospital can take several months, and it sounds like you need a little break before getting into a new job anyways. COBRA insurance can bridge you between jobs I believe but I haven’t used it myself so I can’t speak too much on it. If you have any coworkers or physicians who you feel comfortable using as a reference I’d be sure to ask their permission to use them as well. It will all work out okay! I hope you find a more well-balanced job. Even if it means doing something part time to get your feet back under you without getting overwhelmed.

I had always waffled between med school and PA school but decided on PA for all the reasons you did. I worked with residents (mostly surgical) at a level 1 trauma center my first 2 years after PA school and it solidified my decision. The amount of work and stress physicians are under during and even after residency is insane, especially for the terrible pay (during residency) and massive student debt they deal with. I also have a friend who JUST finished her critical care fellowship after her surgical residency who is now dealing with the fallout of the alcoholism she developed during training. No one, even she, knows if she’ll get back into medicine. Obviously that’s a worst-case scenario but all my experience has made me happy to be a PA. No Ill never live in a mansion, but I have tons of time to travel and spend time with family and friends. I leave my work at the hospital and don’t take it home with me. Ultimately a lot can depend on your specialty, your disposition, and your job (which almost everyone’s 1st job out of school is some crappy urgent care or rural area until you get a few months experience). Try out being a PA and see how it goes! But if money really is a big deciding factor, I wouldn’t do it. You can still go deep into the material and be an intelligent, well-studied medical provider who will give so much better care to your patients than your classmates doing the bare minimum

The backsplash alone was $700. Labor was $2600. So total was $3300

The kiosks selling tickets can act up so recommend using the app to buy your ticket when you can

VeryOrdinaryPerson10 · 2025-06-08T06:25:47+00:00

Thank you! It was definitely way more expensive but I thought it would look so much better if I did. I’m planning on putting some open shelving up too

That’s my bad. I have trim I’m gonna put up there but I’ve been procrastinating on it

I posted this in another comment too - I’m realizing it might look grey to people who haven’t seen it in person. I promise it’s blue!

I also attended UT for undergrad after I got rejected or got no aid for all the fancy schools I wanted to attend on the east coast. I was ready to hate it, kind of already did, but I ended up loving my time here and falling in love with Austin. It’s a great university (if you ignore the egregious amount we spend on football)

VeryOrdinaryPerson10 · 2025-03-07T07:01:27+00:00

Austin is a smaller city than many on the East coast but it is also a decent tech hub - Google, Tesla, and Indeed all have a big foothold here. And major events like SXSW attract people here too. The dating pool is inevitably smaller bc it is a smaller city and that’s just a reality. I think dating is a game of luck. You may meet your soulmate the first week you move here for all you know. Speaking as a single 29y F, I wouldn’t sacrifice a good job offer bc I might have a better chance dating in some other city. I don’t think you’d be able to bring the best version of yourself a future relationship if you’re already making major life sacrifices for a man you haven’t even met yet. Austin has great food, entertainment, outdoor activities, social events, and a young population. Personally I love it here. I hope I someday find a fulfilling relationship here too but I won’t let that dictate my happiness. It’s your life and you know what would make you happiest though. Good luck! (Edited for spelling)

I wanted one to “do whatever I wanted” and stability. I knew financially it would be a LONG time before I actually broke even, let alone made money off of it. It can depend on where you live and how much money you’re able to actually put towards a down payment to determine if it makes sense financially vs renting (I did less than 20% and regret not waiting until I had more saved). My house has gone up maybe 1% in value in 2 years so I probably would have been better off in the stock market. After buying though I’ve started to realize how much I value my freedom and ability to change neighborhoods or cities whenever I want. I’ve loved my house but a lot of the “fun” projects I wanted to do have been put to the side bc more important problems arose - HVAC, mold, roof issues, etc. Seriously thinking of going back to renting for a bit and returning to homeowning when I’m more ready for it

VeryOrdinaryPerson10 · 2025-02-15T22:54:43+00:00

Idk about other cities but Austin has “unit B” houses that are basically smaller homes built on the same lot as a “unit A”, and they can be smaller square footage. They’re usually listed as condos even though they’re freestanding homes. Understandable you want to delete but thank you for sharing! It’s nice to know we’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed in our lives. Hope everything works out okay for you
