Tour Overview

The Annapurna circuit trek is an unforgettable journey of discovery that will take you through some of the most geographically and culturally diverse areas in Nepal.

The trek begins from Nagdi and you will make your way through picturesque villages such as Chamje and Chame. These are small well-known villages that act as a checkpoint for people who come to trek the Annapurna region. The path is full of breathtaking views of the Annapurna and the Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. The towering peak of Annapurna I, II, III, and IV, Dhaulagiri, and Machapuchare mountains stand tall and proud.


One of the greatest highlights (if not the greatest highlight) of this trek is crossing the Thorong La Pass, the highest navigable mountain pass in the world. Located at an altitude of 5,416 meters above sea level, things can get dangerous around here. But you will be on the hands of expert guides to assist you. The sense of achievement you’ll feel as you complete the checkpoints is what makes this trek great. You discover your resilience and strength as you discover the treasures of the Himalayas. The views you will get to see from the top will surely be awe-inspiring.


Descending back, a completely new trail awaits you. You will get a chance to walk through the Kali Gandaki Gorge, the deepest gorge in the world and home to a stunning array of wildlife and vegetation. The cultural value of this trek is also immense. You will learn a lot about the culture, history and lifestyle of mountain communities, as well as visit temples and monasteries like the Muktinath temple, a holy site for both Buddhists and Hindus.


Please see the itinerary section for more trip details.

Itinerary

After breakfast, we start the second day of our trek; we cross a bridge, and once a steep climb, we enter the section of the Manang region at the village named tal; here, we see many waterfalls forming a river by the sandy beaches. We follow the path through barley, rice, and potato fields. And go through the village of Kodo, one of the largest villages in the Manang valley. We cross a suspension bridge, and after a brief climb of the stone Kani, we reach Dharapani.

The trekking part starts from this day. The trail takes you through the paddy fields and dense forests. Witnessing various small streams and waterfalls all alongside the Marsyangdi River. Reaching Jagat, known for its massive cliffs that are home to some great wild bees. Chamje will be our destination for the day, you spend the night here.

The dense rhododendron forests take charge and lead you through the trail. The lush forest of pine and bamboo are some spectacular views. Here, we reach a checkpoint, a small village named Tal, navigating our way through the fields of wheat and potatoes. The trail leads us to Dharapani and then finally to Bagarchapp, with a last push for the day.

Getting into serious stuff now, the trail from Bagarchapp to Chame is steep ascents at some places. All along the trail, you get to witness the magical views of the M Manaslu, Lamjung, and Annapurna mountains standing tall and proud. You will also pass through several Tibetan villages and interact with the locals there. Pass those villages lies Chame, which is mostly a flat hike from there.

Beginning our day early, our checkpoint is the Telekhu. Which is mostly a flat path through lush forests. Stopping there for lunch and we get to witness a suspension bridge across the Marshyangdi River. The trail to Pisang from there onwards is quite easy. Thus, reaching Pisang we will spend the night there.

Pisang village dives the lowland settlements from those settlements in the mountains. The unique Tibetian village of Brage will probably be the main highlight for this day. The village from far looks as if they are stacked upon each other and getting close you’ll know it wasn’t any illusion, they were stacked upon each other.

Another main attraction will be the monastery that this village offers, the largest in the whole district. Reaching Manang you will spend the night there.

With great views comes great risk, as this trekking in high mountains brings dangers such as altitude sickness. An acclimatization day is a must as in the next few days you will be reaching some staggering heights.

However, we will be utilizing this day to its fullest, organizing short hikes here and there, and even hiking up to Gangapurna Lake in the afternoon.

With a rest day, we begin this day with great motivation and dedication. Moving up and gaining elevation, you will now encounter alpine vegetation throughout the area. With animals like horses, yak, and donkeys grazing all across the land. The main highlight of this trek is the Yak Kharka, offering you great cliffs and overall, a great view of the surrounding.

Our day starts as we walk beside the Jarang River. The trail along this river will take us to Thorong Phedi, with a short push. Thronong Phedi is a meadow surrounded by vertical cliffs where you will spend the night.

The day has come when you cross the highest navigable mountain pass in the world. The Thorong La Pass offers some of the harshest conditions with continuous wind blows and high altitudes. But with a little guidance from our trek, you must be fine, as the trails are the same ones used by the villagers for centuries.

Reaching Thorong La Pass, itself is a hard task, with 6 hours of steep climbing, you finally get to witness its magic. The scenic views of the close peaks feel as if a step forward you’ll be able to feel those peaks. We can’t afford to spend much time here, as the winds get stronger hour by hour, as even though we spend hours there just enjoying the view, it won’t be enough. Such is the greatness of this pass.

The trail while descending is steep descents which will take you through grassy fields to finally reach Muktinath where you will spend the night.

Early morning, we visit the holy temple of Muktinath and witness how devoted the people around there are. Trekking past the new trail that takes us past meadows, streams and the great river of Kali Gandaki will take you to Kagbeni which will be our destination for the day.

The drive from Jomson to Tatopani will be a shared transportation, mostly a bus. Which will take about 5 hours to reach Jomson. The top attraction around here is the Tatopani, which is a natural hot spring. The day ends with relaxation in these hot springs.

From Tatopani, we will be marching on to our next destination, which will be Poon Hill. However, for today our destination will be the hike to Ghorepani. Thus, spending the night there we prepare our ascent for Poon Hill.

We begin our day comparatively early with a push to the PoonHill. Giving you a completely different scenic view, you will be amazed to see this side of the Annapurna region. The Mountains shining bright as the first rays of the sun hit the peak is something you can’t miss out on.

We enjoy the experience and view there for a while and then begin our descent to Ghorepani for breakfast. A trek of about 5 hours should take us to Nayapul. With a few miles of drive separating us from the popular city Pokhara, reaching will be our last checkpoint for the day.

With this, the great journey across the Annapurna region has now ended. The experience we shared will always be close to our hearts. A ride of about 6 to 7 hours will take you back to Kathmandu.
