In this case, jokes that only a dozen or so people in the world will ever understand.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that if you put 11 travellers, two assistant guides and one trekking leader at the edge of the world, on Intrepid\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/nepal\/annapurna-circuit-trek-160345\">Annapurna Circuit Trek<\/a>, some pretty great memories and even greater inside jokes will start to unfold.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote alignright has-text-align-left\">\n<blockquote>\n<p>This is my ode to the inside jokes because they\u2019re powerful critters and, some might say, the secret to incredible adventures.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>There\u2019s plenty to say for small group travel. There are obvious factors like how getting around is made easier and certain experiences are made possible only by a smaller group size. You won\u2019t catch 25+ people sitting in a tiny prayer room with a monk at the top of a 300-metre climb, receiving a blessing for the following day\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/annapurna\/walking-trekking\">Thorong La Pass<\/a> hike. But an intimate group of just 11? Go get your blessings, friends. You\u2019re going to need them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What isn\u2019t as easily explained \u2013 unless you\u2019ve been on a small group adventure \u2013 is just how bonding the experience can be. How total strangers quickly whisked into a tiny shuttle bus turn into friends. Or how group dynamics form within the first hour of a welcome meeting. You just have to do those things in real life to understand.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_group-photo-scaled.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_group-photo-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68368 lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_group-photo-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_group-photo-425x283.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_group-photo-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_group-photo-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_group-photo-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_group-photo-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_group-photo-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_group-photo-263x175.jpg 263w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_group-photo-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-68368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_group-photo-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_group-photo-425x283.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_group-photo-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_group-photo-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_group-photo-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_group-photo-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_group-photo-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_group-photo-263x175.jpg 263w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Our group shared many kilometres of trails, lemon teas and group photos together.

This is my ode to the inside jokes because they\u2019re powerful critters and, some might say, the secret to incredible adventures.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Day 5: In three sleeps time, we\u2019d like to have some momos<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>By day five of the Annapurna Circuit Trek, you\u2019ve covered some ground, literally and conversationally. In the first few days, you walk about 60 kilometres while taking in views of subtropical valleys, meeting local goat herders and really getting to know your hiking boots.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With up to eight hours a day spent trekking together, these are the formative days when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/types-of-traveller-youll-meet-on-a-group-trip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">group roles<\/a> start to emerge. The jokester begins to show their comic side, the unofficial photographer starts orchestrating all group photos (thanks, Jeff), and the classically trained trekker begins to wander just slightly ahead of the group.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the evening of day five, after a game of cards involving all six of our Nepali porters and our leader, we sat down to dinner together. As we shuffled into our seats, the comedian of our group (let\u2019s call him Ray) started mischievously encouraging each of us to commit to celebrating our arrival in neighbouring Manang with a joint feast of at least 150 hand-made momos. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video alignleft\"><video controls=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Nepal_Annapurna-Circuit-Trek_travellers_inside-joke.mp4\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Momos, arguably one of <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/nepal\">Nepal<\/a>\u2018s greatest culinary delights, are small steamed or fried dumplings perfect to tuck into after a day on the trails. They\u2019re made by hand, to order. For reference, a regular order for a large restaurant may be 20 to 30. So, for our group to order 150+ was a pretty proposterous concept.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Ray, why don\u2019t you call and ask them to prepare our order?\u2019 our leader giggled as he handed his phone over, knowing full well the language barrier paired with an obnoxious order quantity would prove difficult. Of course, Ray eagerly accepted the spotlight and took the phone in hand with us all sitting by.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He rehearsed what he needed to say: what we\u2019d order and when we\u2019d arrive.<\/p>\n<p>But what came out of his mouth as his call was answered and he was put on the spot in front of our group can only be described as the product of stage fright. Timidly, he stuttered: \u2018Hi, my name is Ray\u2026 In three sleeps time, we\u2019d like to have some momos.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As the rest of us erupted in laughter, the confused Nepali restaurant owner swiftly hung up on our new friend, and our group\u2019s first inside joke was born.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Day 7: Wah, wah, wah<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>By day seven, you\u2019re starting to count how many days you\u2019ve got until \u2018the pass\u2019 (Thorong La Pass, that is). At this point, you\u2019re gaining elevation of, at minimum, a few hundred metres per day. Snow-capped mountain peaks that were once elusive now surround your every move and the yaks you were looking forward to meeting are at every turn.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before we\u2019d set off, our trip leader, Dipendra Neupane, had given detailed briefings about symptoms of altitude sickness. He\u2019d also begun recording our blood oxygen levels morning and night to ensure we were fit and healthy for the long days and elevation gain ahead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When we met a pair of young women from Israel who had hired a local mountain guide to lead their way, it became pretty clear, pretty quickly that this duo hadn\u2019t been given the same level of preparation we had.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the occasions our trails crossed paths, they mentioned how they\u2019d longed for the camaraderie of a group setting and also raised concerns about how well-prepared, or not, their guide was for the epic Thorong La Pass hike ahead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was in the moment that our new friends\u2019 guide gathered our group and, somewhat incoherently, announced a rhyme that, in fact, did not rhyme that we started to understand their concerns. Was this an indication of the extent of their guide\u2019s altitude preparedness?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote alignright has-text-align-left\">\n<blockquote>\n<p>The laughter that erupted in that moment connected us in ways that resonated throughout the trip.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>He enthusiastically urged us to chant \u2018wah, wah, wah\u2019, gesturing us to clap our hands with him as if he\u2019d made a groundbreaking statement. I don\u2019t know why this happened, none of us did, but that\u2019s not the point (stay with me) \u2013\u00a0this moment, paired with what our new friends had already told us about their guide\u2019s mountain knowledge, made us grateful to have an experienced, knowledgeable leader like Diprendra by our side.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was also in this moment, while still clapping and chanting along as directed, in our state of utter confusion about what was unravelling, another inside joke was added to our arsenal. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And I know my attempt to retell this joke probably isn\u2019t landing \u2013 like I said, you had to be there \u2013 but when I tell you that the laughter that erupted in that moment connected us in ways that resonated throughout the rest of the trip, I really mean it.<\/p>\n<p>From that day forward, whenever someone was confused, we\u2019d chant \u2018wah, wah wah\u2019. When an exciting group announcement was made, you could hear that very same chant ring out. And if someone unintentionally rhymed? Well, you get the idea\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Day 11: It\u2019s the final countdown<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On this day, you wake up at ridiculous o\u2019clock \u2013 3 am to be exact \u2013 to have breakfast with your group and then begin trekking across the cold, dark mountains to reach the highest point of the trip, Thorong La Pass, at 5400 metres elevation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That morning, the Rocky theme song rang out across our breakfast table. One of our now-beloved Aussie travellers had decided this was the most fitting tune to prepare us for the Rocky-like feat of the 950-metre elevation gain ahead.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As my fingers froze, I tugged my second beanie over my head and trampled across the snow in the dark that morning. I couldn\u2019t help but think there was no way I could do it without the playful camaraderie and giggles of support that rippled through the group that day.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So sure, the places you\u2019ll see and the things you\u2019ll experience on an Intrepid trek in Nepal (whether that\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/nepal\/everest-base-camp-trek-160343\">Everest Basecamp<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/nepal\/annapurna-base-camp-trek-160346\">Annapurna Basecamp<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/nepal\/annapurna-circuit-trek-160345\">Annapurna Circuit<\/a>) will undoubtedly stick with you forever. But it\u2019s the local leaders and Intrepid people you\u2019ll meet along the way who\u2019ll make your adventure that much sweeter (and funnier).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And if you were wondering how our pair of Israeli friends got on? They were fine making it over the Pass with their leader by their side. In fact, they joined our final group dinner in Pokhara at the end of our trip. There weren\u2019t any momos on the menu that night, but there were plenty of giggles and good times.
