Classic Walks, High Altitude Trekking, Point-to-point, Mountains

One of the world's classic treks around the entire Annapurna Range

The Annapurna Circuit - rightly known as Nepal's classic trek - offers more variety than any other equivalent length trek, taking us through virtually every type of scenery that Nepal has to offer. There are superb views of the Annapurnas and Dhaulagiri, and an amazing variety of landscapes ranging from sub-tropical through alpine to an arid semi-desert akin to Tibet. The climax of the trek is crossing the formidable Thorong La Pass (5416m). This is a lodge-based trek, so we spend time in villages inhabited by many of Nepal's different peoples, both Buddhist and Hindu. There is also a chance to visit our Tree Nursey in the Upper Manang Valley. Though demanding enough for the seasoned trekker, this trek is also an excellent introduction to walking in the Himalaya. As this route has good teahouses along its length and most campsites are now within settlements, this trip uses teahouses as accommodation. Please see our Teahouses versus Camping webpage for more information.
