Annapurna Circuit Trek

18 days

Trip Snapshot

Annapurna Circuit Trek is your whole trek, or it is your trek, or it is the trek that the National Geographic has enlisted as the world's best walk. It is not an extraordinary trek but a compound trek in which you discover all the types of landscapes, prescribed by the general and the advanced trekkers. Its trekking trail not only confines the unparalleled natural beauties but also embraces Muktinath, the pilgrim of religious significance to the Hindu devotees across the world, and also adds the highest pass of the Annapurna Region to make your walk adventurous and challenging. Beyond this, you proceed to be introduced to the way of life that is rural, in comparison to your comfortable, urban life that lies within your reach. Feel the live difference between having and have nots through Annapurna Circuit Trek, and this trek is also the trek with the cultural getaway as you reach the Thakali villages. In addition to this, you will love to dive into the tradition that is rarely seen outside Nepal, and that has easy and acceptable forms. The next 23 days of Annapurna Circuit strives to give you the best trekking experience by combining all its major highlights and starts from the City of Temple, and its upcoming trail first takes you to Besisahar. The beautiful scenery on the trekking trail will appeal to you times without number and create an everlasting memory, as well as entices you to press the button of your camera occasionally because you will find it hard to resist the temptation. The incredible beauty of the towering mountains like Annapurna (8091m), Dhaulagiri (8167m), and Manaslu (8156m) will be along the trail in a way you want, and this unusual face to face view will add a climax to your sensory and stay there forever. As you step into the Manang region, be ready to be on the verge of exposition, and when you are in its heartland, you are amidst the richness of Manangis' culture and tradition which will welcome you with the wide-open arm.
