Tour overview

This amazing and very popular 15-day trek on the Annapurna Circuit begins in Kathmandu and takes you through the Annapurna Conservation Area, visiting unique culturally rich Tibetan Buddhist Gurung and Magar villages, along trails bounded by magnolia and rhododendron forests. You will follow the route of early traders along the old salt route, be surrounded by soaring snow-capped peaks, witness unique flora and fauna before finally returning to Kathmandu. All accommodation, meals, and transport are included in the price! 

The Annapurna Circuit Trek is a trekker’s paradise, with the trail passing through the 7629 sq km Annapurna Conservation Area - that also happens to the largest in Nepal. The trail heads through the world’s deepest gorge, the Kali Gandaki, in amongst amazing pine and rhododendron forests, via culturally rich and traditional Tibetan Buddhist Gurung and Magyar villages, and to the well known viewpoint on Poon Hill where the views will blow your socks off! The highest point reached on the trek is when we cross Thorong La Pass (5,416m/17,769ft). You will pass many villages, such as: Syange (1,130m) via Besisahar, Dharapani (1,860m), Chame (2650m), Pisang (3,300m), Manang (3,500m), Yak Kharka (4,050m), Thorong Phedi (4,500m) and then to the highest point on the trek - Thorong La Pass (5,416m). 

You will notice that from the very start of the trek we gradually ascend to higher elevations. This is an ideal means of acclimatizing before crossing the pass. We will also have a day at Manang for acclimatizing. After crossing the pass it is all downhill as we head to Muktinath (3802m) and on to the hot springs at Tatopani (1,300m). This is an ideal place to relax those muscles after being on the trail for the last 10 days. 

After a dip in the hot springs you will surely have a good night’s sleep! From Tatopani we follow
