Annapurna Circuit Trekking Overview

Annapurna Circuit Trek is an epic trek that shows you the true beauty of the Annapurna region which is known for its landscapes throughout the world…

We embark on a model trek said to be one of the best in Nepal, and the most sought after in the world. Our hike goes through dense foliage forests to the meager Tibetan plateau, as we hike passing through pretty ethnic villages of Gurungs, Tamangs, Magars, Thakalis, Manangis, Brahmins and Chhetris. A most exciting part of our journey is going across the formidable Thorung La Pass at 5416m. – Which gives us some of the most brilliant views of the Annapurnas, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Lamjung and Tibetan Himalaya ranges that flow for miles beyond the horizons as far as our eyes could see…

The Annapurna Circuit Trek is said to be one of the top most trekking trails for scenery on earth. This natural Circuit journey offers you the perfect combination of nature at its original best and cultural variety that would attract anthropologists in their hordes. This journey gives you a fantastic mix of sublime hiking, sightseeing and a cultural tour which creates a compact holiday experience of exotic proportions. You come face-to-face upfront with the striking Himalayan peaks of the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and the sacred Machhapuchhre [fishtail] mountain. Climbers are not allowed to scale this mountain as it’s considered holy for the locals of this region…

The Annapurna region is an avenue where the vibrant colorful lifestyles of the Gurung, Magar and Manangi hill tribes live in perfect harmony with one another despite their traditional and religious differences in the laps of the majestic Himalayan Mountains in this wonderful zone of Mother Nature. The region blends its unique cultural beauty with the authentic attractiveness found at every corner of the trails that weaves its way around the Annapurna circuit Trek and excited trekkers are left enthralled by the marriage of these God given gifts to mankind. The highest elevation we go up to in the course of this venture is the high and Thorung La Pass at 5,416 m (17,769 ft). The views from here are majestic and dumbfounding as we hit the pass above the tree-lines.

Our Annapurna Circuit Trek commences from the regional outpost of Besisahar and conclusively ends at the same point of our trip. Besisahar is a small bustling town that lies within the fringes of the lake city of Pokhara. The trekking path leads us to the mountain settlement of Manang at 3,500m (11,482 ft) and as we hike the routes, we later go by the pilgrimage trail of the revered Muktinath temple, which attracts hordes of hindu pilgrims once every year in early autumn. ‘Family Adventure Treks and Expeditions’’ will escort you on this journey like no one else…
