Annapurna Round Trekking

The Annapurna Circuit 

The Trek has been highly praised and is a spectacular trekking route in the Annapurna region since it opened to foreign trekkers in 1977. This three week trek starts right from Besisahar, which goes along the Marshyangdi River, with great views of Manaslu and Himal Chuli to the east.

The route will lead you through villages inhabited by a wide diversity of people from different ethnic groups, offering spectacular and majestic views of the Himalayas. It continues to the north of the main Himalayan range and over the Thorung La Pass to the high and dry Tibetan Plateau. 


As we descend to the west at Muktinath from the Thorung La pass, we continue to the barren Tibetan like village of Kagbeni - the world's deepest gorge passes between the giant Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains.
