Annapurna Circuit

Annapurna Circuit Trek is the most popular classic trekking route in Nepal. It is a trek within the mountain ranges of central Nepal. It is an exciting, varied, yet challenging trek in the Annapurna region of Nepal.

Annapurna Circuit trail is the second-longest hike in the Annapurna region and we cover about 206 km in four districts (Lamjung, Manang, Mustang, and Myagdi) and two zones (Gandaki and Dhaulagiri) in 20 days. Therefore, it requires additional physical stamina, courage, and prior preparation. The Annapurna Circuit Trek is the most scenic trip on which we can see the two eight-thousanders: Dhaulagiri (8,167 m) and Annapurna I (8,091 m) with some other beautiful peaks: Manaslu (8,163 m), Annapurna III (7,555 m), Gangapuram (7,455 m), Annapurna South (7,219 m), Machhapuchhre (6,997 m) and Lamjung Himal (6,931 m).

Annapurna Circuit is also famous for its diverse climate, cultural prosperity, religious diversity, traditional way of life, and lush green vegetation as well as wild species. There is also the highest pass: the Thorang La Pass (5,416 m); the deepest gorge in the world: the Kali Gandaki Gorge; the highest lake of the size: Tilicho Lake (4,919 m); sacred 108 gargoyles; sacred Hindu Buddhist site: Muktinath temple; natural hot springs at Chame and Tatopani; and the immaculate sunrise from Poon Hill are some of the key highlights of the Annapurna Circuit Trek.

Hike through the incredible Annapurna region and be impressed by the Nepalese Himalayas. These snow-capped peaks, misty valleys, remote communities, and remote monasteries will inspire those with a bold spirit and yearning for a definitive nature experience. Reach heights over 5000 m, discover the traditions of the indigenous people and dive into the spectacular mountain wilderness of the Annapurna Circuit.

For the landscape and cultural diversity, Annapurna Circuit has long been considered one of the best trekking routes in Nepal and one of the classic treks in the world. It follows the Marsyangdi valley north of the main Himalaya Mountains and crosses a 5416 m Thorong La pass to descend into the dramatic desert-like Tibetan landscape of the upper Kali Gandaki Valley. The trail leads past quaint villages of Gurungs, Manang is and Thakalis, offering spectacular mountain views of the numerous 7,000 m high peaks of the Annapurna range.
