Tour overview

This 18 day Annapurna Circuit Trek is one of the most famous treks in Nepal. This trek takes you as high as 5416 meters to Thorong La Pass and to the Mustang Valley close to the Tibetan border. This trek offers everything you can wish to see in Nepal, from being surrounded by soaring peaks, deep valleys, barren plateaus, snow-fed rivers and culturally rich villages. There is one peak at 8091 meters and 28 others over 6000 meters. The circuit trek is bordered by the Kali Gandaki Gorge, Marsyangdi River & Pokhara in the south.

The Annapurna Circuit Trek opened to trekkers in 1980 and today is heralded as one of the best trekking destinations in the world. The trails will take you through beautiful rhododendron forests in the lower regions of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains. In springtime these trees are covered in white, pink and red blossoms. You will see several huge peaks including Annapurna I, II, III, IV, Dhaulagiri (8167m), Machapuchare (Fish Tail), Annapurna South and Manaslu.

The Annapurna circuit trek is an ideal trek for those who are reasonably fit. The Annapurna trek follows trails through the Kali Gandaki Gorge, the world’ deepest gorge, and to the world’s highest lake, and passes the 300 meter high Rupse Falls. The trail is within the Annapurna Conservation Area and has more than 100 species of orchids, rhododendron forests, sub-tropical marshes, valleys, bamboo and oak forests, alpine glades and hundreds of wildlife species such as Marten, deer, Langur monkey, and the snow leopard – that is secretive and hard to spot. Besides the diversity of flora and fauna, there is the remarkable hospitality of the people in small hamlets, villages and towns along the trek.

The Annapurna Circuit Trek begins and ends at Kathmandu. 

Sherpa Expedition Teams will arrange trekking permits, meals and accommodation on the trek.
