Trip Introduction


map

Annapurna Circuit Trekking is one of the best treks in Nepal, perfect for trekkers who wish to explore the superb perspectives and landscapes of the southern and northern Himalayas. The high point of the trek entails crossing of the 5414m high Throng Pass, from the arid valley of the upper Manang, home of Tibetan- Buddhists, down to the Hindu pilgrimage site of Muktinath, and the Kali Gandaki valley, the world’s deepest river gorge, before heading down to Pokhara. Besides the mountain views, we encounter on this trek a variety of mountain communities of the Gurung, Manangi and Thakali people.

 

Annapurna region is best described as the most happening incentive trekking destination of Nepal. The Annapurna Circuit Trek has been proved as a highly praised and spectacular trekking route in the Annapurna region since it opened to foreign trekkers in 1977. This trek starts right from Besishahar and goes along the Marshyangdi River, with a great view of Manaslu and Himal Chuli to the east.

 

This magnificent Annapurna Circuit Trekking leads you to the fine village inhabited by a wide diversity of people from different ethnic groups, offering the spectacular and majestic view of the white Himalayas. As it continues to the north of the main Himalayan range on to the high and dry Tibetan Plateau, the scenery is equally breathtaking.

 

Trek through Thorong-La Pass (5,416m), the most noteworthy spot on this route. From Thorong-La Pass, the trail winds down to Muktinath, a revered and sacred spot for both Hindu and Buddhists. Near to Muktinath Sanctuary, visitors will see an endless blazing fire over the undergrounded water spring.

 

Immerse yourself in the splendid mountain scenery, from red rhododendron timberland forests completely in bloom in March and April, to thickly forested trails, to the necked slopes and awe-inspiring snow-capped regions. The scenery on this trek is astonishing.

 

Over the years, the Annapurna Circuit Trekking has become the best seller among all our trekking tours. The breathtaking mountain scenery and the beautiful ethnic villages justify the popularity of this route.
