Join us on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure around the stunning Annapurna massif, one of the most iconic trekking routes in the world. This 21-day journey takes you through a rich tapestry of landscapes—from lush subtropical forests and terraced fields to high alpine terrain and the arid valleys of Mustang.
Your trek begins in the vibrant capital city of Kathmandu, where you'll explore UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Boudhanath Stupa and Pashupatinath Temple. Then, heading to the trailhead, you’ll pass through traditional villages, cross suspension bridges, and walk alongside rivers and waterfalls. As the trail gradually ascends, you’ll witness changing scenery and culture, from Hindu lowlands to Tibetan-influenced highlands.
Highlights include acclimatizing in the beautiful town of Manang, conquering the challenging Thorong La Pass (5,416m)—the highest point of the trek—visiting the sacred Muktinath Temple, relaxing in the natural hot springs of Tatopani, and enjoying the sunrise view from the famous Poon Hill (3,210m).
This full-circuit trek offers deep cultural immersion, spectacular Himalayan views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Machhapuchhre, and a rewarding physical challenge. Comfortable teahouse accommodations, guided support, and local hospitality make it accessible and unforgettable.
Embark on a breathtaking journey through Nepal’s iconic Annapurna region. From Kathmandu’s cultural gems to the high mountain pass of Thorong La, this trek blends adventure, stunning landscapes, and authentic Himalayan culture.
