The Annapurna Circuit is one of the classic trek of the world. This trek offers the you a chance to experience and view a complete cross-section of central Nepal with its wondrous diversity of culture, topography and flora & fauna. Starting in the foothills near Pokhara, we explore the beautiful Marsyangdi & Manang valleys and then cross the Thorung La pass (5,380m/ 17,650') to the sacred shrine of Muktinath. From here we follow the Kali Gandaki along the world's deepest gorge to Pokhara, staying in pleasant local lodges and savoring their traditional cuisine. We climb the vantage point of Poon Hill to appreciate the spectacular view of the Annapurna Himal and the vast area that you have circled on your trek. As we trek across diverse ecological zones, the views of the Central Himalayas keep changing. One of the highlights of our trek are the side-trips and detours that add an extra dimension to the usual route. An incomparable trekking experience not to be missed by any Nepal enthusiast!
