Annapurna Circuit Trek is one of the world's classic and the most diverse trekking route. It is a dramatic trek around the mighty Annapurna range, a journey that is regarded as one of the top ten walks/Trekks in the world. The 222-kilometre Annapurna Circuit trek, of the Annapurna massif offers a unique insight into the physical and cultural diversity of Nepal.
Main Attractions:
This is one of the classic and most rewarding treks in Nepal which circles the Annapurna massif, starting at either Bhote Order or Gorkha, west of Kathmandu and ending at Pokhara. For most of the trek we have close views of Annapurna , Dhaulagiri , and the magnificent Machhapuchre. The high point of the trek entails crossing of the 5416m/17,769ft high Throng La Pass , from the arid valley of the upper Manang, home of Tibeto- Buddhists, down to the Hindu pilgrimage site of Muktinath, and the Kali Gandaki valley, the worlds deepest river gorge, before heading down to Pokhara. Besides the mountain views, we encounter on this trek a variety of mountain communities of the Gurung, Manangi and Thakali people.
