The Annapurna Circuit Trek
This is our Annapurna Circuit Trek
The Annapurna Circuit is one of the world’s most famous and best treks. It reached a legendary status in Nepal during the 1970s as the ultimate trek and has remained so for the past few decades. It takes an average of 18 days to complete this trek in full but it can easily be extended or shortened as per your requirements.
The Annapurna Circuit route itself has a wonderful diverse route starting with low farmlands before entering pristine forests. As we trek above 4,000m the tree line disperses and rough arid mountainous landscapes take their place. We will be crossing over Thorong La Pass at 5,416m before descending into the Buddhist area of Lower Mustang where we will visit old monasteries and sacred shrines.
We will take you through wide valleys, hot springs and rural communities to conclude in the resort town of Pokhara. Of all our treks this is the one we can offer the most customization. The only thing we insist on is ensuring that you have the proper amount of acclimatization days for your safety. The trek itself can be shortened via a plane back to Pokhara from Jomsom or extended via Upper Mustang, Annapurna Base Camp or the New Annapurna Trail Routes.
The choice is yours depending on the amount of days you have. Here is an outline of the standard Annapurna Circuit trek we offer you.
