If you are looking for an adventurous as well as remote trekking trip, the Annapurna circuit can be the best option. This trip takes you to an altitude of 5416m (17,769 ft), the highest trekking pass (Throng La Pass) in Nepal, making the journey itself a combination of trekking and climbing experiences. However, climbing techniques and climbing gear are not required, but the altitude of the trek is higher then the Europe’s highest peak, Mont Blanc 4,809 m (15,774 ft).
The Annapurna Circuit Trek is one of the most popular and highly traveled trekking trails in the world. It attracts thousands of trekkers each year. Located in the Annapurna region, it offers stunning mountain views, diverse landscapes, and unique cultural experiences. The trek typically spans 14-16 days depending on the itinerary you choose. As road transportation connects to the trail, the itinerary can be shorter or longer depending on the trekker’s choice. The trail covers a distance of approximately 160 kilometers to 230 kilometers, depending on the route taken.
The trek begins at Besisahar and passes through lush forests, cascading waterfalls, rice paddies, and traditional villages. The trail then ascends into the Himalayas, crossing the challenging Thorong La Pass. The trek is challenging, but it is suitable for anyone with a good level of fitness. It involves long days of hiking, steep ascents and descents, and high altitudes. Therefore, it is essential to be well-prepared and to acclimatize properly. Our itinerary allows enough time for acclimatization to avoid altitude sickness.
The highlights of the Annapurna Circuit Trek are the majestic mountain views. Mount Annapurna I (8,091 meters), Annapurna II (7,937 meters), and Annapurna III (7,555 meters) can be seen up close. Other dazzling mountains like Dhaulagiri (8,167 meters), Mount Machhapurche (6,993 meters), Mount Manaslu (8,156 meters), and Nilgiri can also be observed.
