Trip Overview

Annapurna Circuit trek features diverse landscapes, from lush forests to high-altitude deserts, with highlights including Muktinath and the world’s deepest gorge, the Kali Gandaki Valley.

The Annapurna Circuit Trek is one of the world’s best treks, offering more variety than any other equivalent trek in the world in terms of length. The entire circuit spans 131 kilometers (81 miles) and encompasses four of the world’s 10 highest summits. The route takes us from the sub-tropical zone to the very edge of the arid Tibetan plateau, passing through snow-capped peaks, picturesque farming villages, numerous waterfalls, mist-shrouded valleys, isolated communities, and remote monasteries, combining the Marsyangdi Valley and the sacred Kali Gandaki Valley.

After exploring the picturesque Manang Village, visiting monasteries, and enjoying the tranquility of Mother Nature during an acclimatization day, we trek towards the Thorong La Pass. The climax of the Annapurna Circuit Trek is crossing the formidable Thorong La Pass (5,416m). It is at the very edge of the Tibetan plateau and affords unsurpassed panoramic views of the Annapurna peaks. We visit the Muktinath Temple, a holy shrine for both Hindus and Buddhists. Pilgrims from distant villages in Nepal and India visit here every year. There are 108 water spouts from springs, and a natural gas flame burns on top of water in one of the temples. Hindus believe that Muktinath is the only place on earth where the five elements (earth, wind, fire, water, and sky) exist in their distinct forms. Hundreds of worshipers bathe in the fountains, ring bells, anoint each other’s foreheads, or simply look on reverently. We can also follow their belief if you want to try.

We will then trek towards the remote Lupra village and pass the Dhaulagiri Ice Flow Fall and the world’s deepest gorge. The Kali Gandaki River has created the deepest gorge between the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna peaks. After spending the night at Tatopani and dipping in hot springs, we trek uphill through picturesque villages to Ghorepani to spend a night watching the magnificent sunrise from Poon Hill. We will spend the final night at Ghandruk, the most picturesque Gurung village located on the lap of the Annapurna range, before descending back to Pokhara.

Why Annapurna Circuit trek still good to take?

Despite the presence of dirt roads and crowds, the Annapurna Circuit trek remains a fantastic trek due to its unparalleled scenic beauty and diverse landscapes. Trekkers experience a range of environments, from lush subtropical forests to high alpine deserts. The trek offers breathtaking views of some of the world’s highest peaks, including Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. Additionally, the route is rich in cultural diversity, allowing trekkers to immerse themselves in the unique traditions and lifestyles of various ethnic communities. The blend of natural beauty and cultural richness makes the Annapurna Circuit a truly rewarding adventure.
