Annapurna Circuit Trek Trip Description

The Annapurna Circuit Trek, despite being one of the longest treks in Nepal's Himalayas, is surprisingly manageable and promises an experience distinct from the more crowded Everest Base Camp trek. Offering the luxury of teahouse stays, this trek spares you the trouble of carrying tents, cookware, and food. The trek can range from 160km to 230km, depending on the chosen starting point, endpoints, and optional detours.

This circuit unwinds in an anti-clockwise direction around the impressive 55km Annapurna massif. Starting from lowland Hindu regions, the trail takes you through evolving terrains and cultures, eventually transitioning to Tibetan-influenced zones as you ascend. From lush fields to alpine meadows and arid landscapes, the variety is stunning.

Annapurna Circuit Trek Trip Highlights

  • Witness a range of mountain peaks, including Annapurna I, II, III, & IV, Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri, Gangapurna, and many more.
  • Traverse the challenging Thorong La Pass at 5,416m.
  • Experience varied terrains, from lush forests to the arid Tibetan plateau.
  • Walk through the Kali Gandaki Gorge, the world's deepest.
  • Immerse in diverse cultures from Gurung to Thakali.
  • Visit the sacred Muktinath Temple.
  • End the journey with a scenic flight from Jomsom to Pokhara.

Best Time to Trek Annapurna Circuit

March to May: The spring season offers clear days, comfortable hiking weather, and a trail adorned with blooming rhododendron.

Late August to September: The fall season promises less haze and clearer mountain views, with crisp weather at higher altitudes.
