Annapurna Circuit Around Annapurna Trek

This is probably one of world's most beautiful treks. It will take you through a wonderful variety of landscape and culture, from the subtropical lower Marsyangdi valley where Gurung and Thakali dominate to the northern arid Buddhist areas.

Along the Marsyangdi River, on easy trails and suspension bridges, through rice terraces and forests, we will slowly gain altitude and acclimatize well. After Pisang we will get stunning extremely up-close views of snowy and glaciated high peaks including Annapurnas II, III and IV. This remote area lies in a rain shadow formed by the Annapurnas and the landscape supports little in the way of forest apart from pine, juniper And scrub rhododendron.

Huge glacial moraines abound, etched deeply by wind erosion into fantastic pillars. The Thorong La (5415 m) wilderness is one of the highlights of this trek. After the pass, we reach Muktinath and Jomosom, and then fly to Pokhara.
