Annapurna Circuit

Your Nepal tour cannot be complete without trekking in Nepal, which is undoubtedly one the best mountain trekking experiences in the world. Trekking Annapurna region is one of the most rewarding trekking activities in Nepal. Both Annapurna Base Camp trek and Annapurna Circuit trek are extremely rewarding adventures.

Annapurna base camp trek is a moderate trek with the combination of easy walking and majestic scenery, which makes the trek to Annapurna base camp (4200m) also known as Annapurna Sanctuary, one of the most popular treks in Nepal. It is the most intensely scenic trek in Nepal. The Annapurna Base Camp is a high glacial basin located north of Pokhara. This magnificent amphitheatre is called the sanctuary because of its natural serenity, beauty and the divine presence of the Hindu goddesses Annapurna and Gangapurna worshipped by local population. This isolated cirque of peaks can only be approached by one route, a deep gorge that carves into the fortress of mountains between Machhapuchhre and Hiunchuli. Many of the peaks are over 7000m, including the famous twin-peaked Machapuchare, as well as Annapurna I and lll, Annapurna South, Gangapurna and Glacier Dome. The trek takes typically 16 days from Kathmandu and can be combined with further activities in Pokhara such as paragliding or white water rafting. (more…)
