Overview
The Annapurna Circuit Trek is one of the world’s best trekking trails. This trek offers you beautiful and diverse landscapes, changes in terrain, lush green forests, arid rocky trails, pure rivers, and sacred mountains. You see countless waterfalls cascading into the Main River, the deepest Kali Gandaki gorge, alpine forests, pasture, glacial lakes, glaciers, icefalls, and snow-capped mountains.
This Annapurna Circuit Trek is the classic trek in the Annapurna region. The trek encircles the eminent Annapurna massif, passing through subtropical plains in the Himalayan foothills, trans-Himalayan Manang, and then the dry, rain shadow region of Mustang. Finally, you reach the highest pass—Thorang La Pass (5,416m). Then your trail tracks down to the Kali Gandaki River that flows through the deepest gorge on earth between two giant peaks.
Most interestingly, the Annapurna Circuit Trek gives you the most scenic moments to witness Dhaulagiri (8,167 m/26,795 ft) and Annapurna I (8,091 m/26,545 ft), including some other shining peaks like Manaslu (8,163 m/26,781 ft), Annapurna III (7,555 m/24,787 ft), Gangapuram (7,455 m/24,459 ft), Annapurna South (7,219 m/23,684 ft), Machhapuchhre (6,997 m/22,956 ft), and Lamjung Himal (6,931 m/22,740 ft). Also, you enjoy the magnificent view of the Dhaulagiri massifs, the Annapurna ranges, and the arid hills of the Upper Mustang.
You feel blessed at Muktinath—a popular pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists. Likewise, you meet people from various ethnic communities—Gurungs and Magars in the lower regions of the Kali Gandaki, Thakalis around Jomsom, and people with strong Tibetan roots, the Lopa, around Muktinath and up in Mustang. Observe their lifestyle, enjoy their culture, and receive their true organic hospitality. When you reach Marpha (2,680m), you can enjoy tasting the unique flavor of local alcoholic drinks made from apples, apricots, or peaches. You also can enjoy a hot shower at the natural hot spring when you visit Tatopani (Hot water)
The most rewarding classic trek—the Annapurna Circuit Trek-—starts with flying from Kathmandu to Pokhara, Nepal’s most beautiful tourist destination. Then, you travel to Jagat to Dharapani and then Chame—the headquarters of the Manang district. You reach Manang, acclimatize, explore, and rest in Manang. Further, you go to Yak Kharkha, then to Thorang Phedi. Passing the highest pass, Thorong La Pass, you reach Muktinath—the sacred temple for both Hindus and Buddhists. Also, you visit Kagbeni Jomsom and descend to Tatopani. You cannot stop yourself from taking a hot shower at a natural hot spring and feeling healed naturally. Finally, you return to Pokhara, enjoying outstanding mountain views from Poon Hill and enjoying organic hospitality at Ghandruk Gurung village. And then you fly back to Kathmandu.
