Tour overview

This 14-day trek has everything; ranging from the deepest valley on earth and one of the highest mountains passes at 5416 meters. This is a real adventure to a land of towering snow-covered peaks in the regaled Annapurna Conservation Area of Nepal. You will enjoy 14 days in a beautiful terrain of forests, raging rivers, distinct flora and fauna, cascading waterfalls, glaciers and an expose of the fascinating Sherpa culture. You will pass through many villages displaying their Tibetan Buddhist prayer flags, temples, chortens, and Mani stones. 

A highlight of this trek is reaching the high altitude and often challenging wind-swept 5416-meter Thorong La Pass that happens to be the highest pass in this region.

The Annapurna Circuit Trek was first opened in the 1980’s and has maintained its status as the most popular trekking destination in Nepal. You will trek through sub-tropical lower altitude forests, rhododendron and cyprus forests and along the remarkable Kali Gandaki Gorge (the world’s deepest). Along the trail you will pass through numerous Gurung and Magar villages that have essentially remained unchanged for generations. You will have that feeling of stepping back in time and that it has no relevance here among the unusual architecture of their homes. Your first glance of the spectacular Himalayan peaks, especially Annapurna and Dhaulagiri will leave you spell-bound and in awe of their magnitude. Your camera will capture them in all their glory as the sun reflects off their snow capped peaks.

Sherpa Expedition & Trekking (Est.1977) have more than 40 years been satisfying the needs of trekkers wanting to explore this region and will take care of all permits (Annapurna Conservation Area permit), meals and accommodation on the trek.
