Annapurna Circuit
Nepal | Tour ref: AC
The Annapurna Circuit
After exploring the alleyways, Buddhist stupas and temples of Kathmandu, you drive over twisting mountain roads to Bandipur, from where you begin your trek. The trail passes many remote villages as you follow the Marsyandi River and you’ll be treated to incredible views of high peaks like Manaslu (8156m) and Hiunchuli(7893m). You climb steadily to Chame for your first views of the whole Annapurna range.
Pisang to Pokhara
The gradual ascent via Pisang and Manang allows time for acclimatisation before the ascent to the highest point of the trek, the Thorung La Pass (5416m). Once over the pass you descend through Muktinath and Jomsom to pick up the trail alongside the holy Kali Gandaki River. Descending to Pokhara, you have free time to relax and reflect on an incredible trek.
One of the classics
The Annapurna Circuit is one of the world’s classic routes to trek, taking walkers from hot lowland foothills of paddy fields and bamboo forests, up through high-alpine scenery above the treeline and into a high altitude desert. The variety of local people along the Annapurna route provides a kalaidoscope of changing faces, from Gurungs to Tibetans, all adding to the enjoyment of this wonderful trek.

Of course Annapurna is beautiful and the scenery fantastic. However, what made this trip amazing were the guides: Raj, our tour leader who was funny, with a deep understanding of English humour; Bibi, who sets the best pace uphill of any guide I hav...
