Trip Overview
Annapurna Circuit Trek: One of the most Rewarding Trek in Nepal
Annapurna Circuit Trek, also known as Annapurna Thorong La Pass Trek, is the longest and most rewarding trek to the Annapurna region of Nepal. Immerse in the captivating beauty of Annapurna massif and get a detailed knowledge of every aspect of nature and culture.
The moment of being on the world’s highest and most challenging pass – Thorong La pass, would be a trophy for all the obstacles you have gone through during the Annapurna Circuit Trek. Annapurna Circuit Trek starts from the foothills of Annapurna. It takes you to the world’s highest pass at an elevation of 5,416 meters. This drastic change in the altitude during the trek allows you to explore the diversity in terms of altitude, vegetation, wildlife, people, culture, and lifestyle.
How to explore the Annapurna Circuit Trek?
Nepal Intrepid Treks escorts you to the Annapurna region of Nepal and lets you witness the beauty that lies in lush forests, hills, waterfalls, rivers, quaint villages, and terraced farmland. Annapurna Circuit Trek starts with a drive from Kathmandu to Jagat via Besisahar in the Marsyangdi river valley. Then it ends up in the deepest gorge in the world – Kaligandaki Gorge.
As we encircle the Annapurna range, we cross two beautiful river valleys. In addition, we walk along the beautiful paddy fields, and sub-tropical forests, and pass several villages. Along the way, we catch a few glimpses of waterfalls and colossal cliffs.
Annapurna Circuit trek takes you to the beautiful valley of Manang. Additionally, the wilderness of Manang and Pisang Valley as you walk through the yak kharkas and pine forests in the valley is intoxicating. Furthermore, the views of Pisang Peak as it rises just above the Pisang Valley are superb. Moreover, the view of Gangapurna from Manang Valley! Moving ahead with the trek, we reach Thorong La Phedi and ascend up to the Thorong La Pass. In addition, the pass offers some majestic views of mountains like Annapurna I, Annapurna II, Annapurna III, Annapurna IV, Annapurna South, Gangapurna, Nilgiri, Macchapucchre, Dhaulagiri, etc. Muktinath, a popular pilgrimage site for Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims is another attraction of this journey.
Muktinath is not just famous for the religious importance it possesses. In addition, it is renowned for the splendid views of the Himalayas that this place offers. Descending down from Muktinath, we pass some beautiful villages like Marpha, Ghasa, and Tadapani to Ghorepani. The Poonhill too offers some excellent views of mountains in Annapurna ranges. The sunrise and sunset views from Poonhill can be the most captivating experience of our journey.

Traveller Review
5.0 Rating out of 5 based on 146 ReviewsAn unforgettable journey to ABC
I joined Wildman's tour to Nepal for ABC trekking at the end of March, and during the trekking we were taken well care of by Nepal Intrepid Treks and Expedition. The local guides are professional, friendly and always know what we need before we ask for help, and the porters are honest and reliable. I believe that without their hard work, it is impossible for me to complete this amazing journey. A month has passed, the towering mountains, the blooming azaleas and the guides and porters’ dedication to their work are still vivid in my memory and it seems like only yesterday. Highly recommended!
Amazing Experience!
