The Annapurna Circuit Trek is one of the most popular trekking routes in Nepal, offering adventurers a complete experience of the Himalayas in just 14 days. This journey takes you through diverse landscapes, from subtropical forests to alpine zones, culminating in the crossing of Thorong La Pass (5,416m), the highest point of the trek.
Starting from Kathmandu, the adventure begins with a scenic drive to Besisahar, followed by another drive to Chame—saving a few days of trekking while providing time to enjoy the high-altitude scenery. The trek progresses through Pisang and into the beautiful town of Manang, where an acclimatization day prepares you for the high-altitude adventure ahead.
The trek gradually ascends towards the challenging Thorong La Pass, offering panoramic views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. After crossing the pass, the descent takes you to Muktinath, a holy site for both Hindus and Buddhists. The journey then continues through the charming villages of Kagbeni and Jomsom, providing unique insights into the culture and traditions of the local people.
After the adventure-filled days in the Himalayas, the trek concludes with a relaxing drive to Tatopani, where you can enjoy the natural hot springs, followed by a journey to Pokhara—Nepal's most scenic lakeside city.
This trek offers the perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural immersion, and physical challenge, making it a dream destination for trekkers worldwide.
