Annapurna Circuit Trek Highlights

Annapurna Circuit Trek Overview

Since it first welcomed international trekkers in 1977, the Annapurna Circuit Trek has garnered global acclaim as one of the planet’s most breathtaking trekking routes. It traverses verdant valleys and captivating villages, offering awe-inspiring vistas of the snow-capped Himalayas.

Commencing from an altitude of under 1,000 meters, this three-week adventure unfolds from Syange along the Marshyangdi River, where views of Manaslu and Himal Chuli unfold to the east. The journey showcases a rich tapestry of cultures, with diverse ethnic groups inhabiting picturesque villages against a backdrop of majestic Himalayan peaks. The scenery transitions dramatically from the lush north slopes to the stark, high-altitude Tibetan Plateau.

The pinnacle of the Annapurna Circuit is the Thorong La Pass, towering at 5,416 meters. Typically traversed counter-clockwise due to the challenging ascent and descent, this route leads through dramatic landscapes and diverse terrain. Descending westward from the pass, the trail reveals the arid, Tibetan-like village of Muktinath and the awe-inspiring Kali Gandaki Gorge — the deepest gorge in the world nestled between the colossal Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massifs.

In recent years, the construction of roads has impacted parts of the Annapurna Circuit, altering some traditional trekking routes. However, our itinerary now takes a more adventurous path via Upper Pisang and Ngawal, using natural trails to reach Manang. To access Jomsom from Muktinath, we traverse the scenic Lubra Pass, offering a unique and less-traveled route. While some sections, like Jomsom to Tatopani, necessitate brief travel by private vehicle due to busy roads, we ensure your experience remains authentic and unforgettable.
