Annapurna Circuit

23 days, Grade C

Acclaimed as one of the classic Himalayan experiences & one of the best treks in the world. With ever changing scenery this trip provides both a trekking extravaganza, and a rewarding cultural experience with village life, temples and monasteries along the way. It takes you right around the Annapurna -a range of mountains with spectacular views of the Manaslu and the Dhaulagiri Range of mountains, as well as the famous Machhapuchhare or Fish Tail Mountain as it is commonly known. The circuit also allows you to explore the many different cultures and religions resident through the climate zones as you pass from sub tropical, through alpine and arid desert landscapes. This trek also includes a three day walk through Khangsar village to Tilicho Lake - at over 4900M and surrounded by the giant Himalaya, this is a stunning location that most trekkers miss. The high point on this lodge based trek is of course Throng La - a mountain pass at 5416m. After our efforts crossing the pass we have a more easy going day visiting Muktinath Temple and then on to the picturesque village of Kagbeni in Lower Mustang. At Tatopani there is a welcome opportunity to relax and bathe your feet in the hot springs! The following day brings us to the end of our circuit trail at Beni.

This trip also gives you the opportunity to see the highlights of Kathmandu Valley as well as enjoy an internal flight along the Himalaya from Pokhara to Kathmandu. click here to download trip notes >>
