Short Description of Annapurna Circuit Trek

Annapurna circuit Trek gives you an opportunity to explore Himalaya experience of your life time. This trek is one of contrasts between the green terraced farmland of the Marshyangdi valley and the semi-arid environs of Lower Mustang. The two areas are separated by the Thorong La (5416m), which we must cross on a long day, to reach the sacred site of Muktinath. The temple complex is a pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists and when seen from here the sunrise on Dhaulagiri is particularly striking. We descend into the world's deepest river gorge, carved by the mighty Kali Gandaki, as it slices between the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massifs. The river is followed to the relaxing hot springs at Tatopani before ascending to Poon Hill for our last sunrise over the Annapurnas.

SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS BY OUR CUSTOMERS

Can I do Annapurna circuit trek?
Since the terrain can be hard and the days long, hikers on these treks should be in good physical condition and have some previous mountain walking experience. But It does not require any technical experience. Steep climbing may be involved, although it is never necessary to use ropes.

Do I need 23 days holiday for Annapurna circuit trek?
It would be good, if can allow 23 days holiday for Nepal Annapurna circuit trek. We do require 20 days for trekking and we need three more days an extra for arrival in Nepal and departure from Nepal and one day for basic preparation so altogether it requires minimum 23 days time for Nepal.

However, if you would not allow 23 days time, we can design an itinerary according to your desire and duration of your holiday. But you should have good physical condition of finishing this trip less than 23 days.

Mornings are bright and clear with the air slowly becoming hazier as the day progresses. The rhododendron forests in springtime are spectacular, with color displays that are "Himalayan" in beauty. June is warm and green with many fewer people - the sense of solitude is much greater than other seasons.
