The trek on the Annapurna Circuit trek is exhilarating. You will get the chance to reach Thorong La Pass and cross the world’s deepest Kali Gandaki gorge. It is fun to embark on the Annapurna Circuit Trek which takes us around the entire Annapurna massif. You will come to the peak at Thorong La Pass (5,416m/17,769ft.) On the way, you will be walking through the world’s deepest Kali Gandaki gorge with Mt. Annapurna 1 rising to 8,091 m (26,545ft) to the east. Similarly, you can also travel to Mt. Dhaulagiri hovering to the west (8,167m). We can observe the amazing views of the mountains from Poon Hill and discover the diverse Annapurna region.
Annapurna Circuit Trek also takes us to Manang, Jomsom, and Muktinath regions. This visit will allow travelers to get familiar with the diverse Nepalese landscape and culture. This is a very long trek for those who are trekking for the first time. However, you will be benefitted when you get the chance to circle the Annapurna massif. Some trekkers may also prefer a shorter trek. Annapurna Circle trek of 14 days is ideal for them. Similarly, those who are wishing to reach the base camp of Mt. Annapurna can go for an Annapurna Base Camp Trek of 11 days.
Annapurna Circuit Trek of 21 Days used to be one of the most popular treks in Nepal before. The gradual development and road access to Manang from Besisahar and to Muktinath from Beni has a number of striking climbing routes. They have become endangered. Later, a shorter Annapurna Circle Trek of 14 Days was also introduced. This allows escaping the major road sections and traversing on the beautiful Annapurna region. On the 21-day itinerary, you will drive from Kathmandu to Khudi. On the other way, in the 14-day itinerary, you will drive from Kathmandu to Syange. Thus, you will skip overnight stays in the villages of Sirung and Jagat. On the 14-day itinerary, you will drive to Jomsom from Muktinath. After that, you will fly to Pokhara. However, on the 21-day itinerary, you will keep climbing away from Muktinath through the villages of Marpha, Kalopani, Tatopani, Ghorepani, Tadapani and Ghandruk before pouring back to Pokhara.
You can change this itinerary, services, accommodation, duration of this trip etc.to suit your needs and budget. The choice is yours. Let us help you tailor your perfect holiday.

There are two routes to Manang. However, we follow the track that takes us to Upper Pisang via Geru.

Your diet will comprise complex carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. We may arrange vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and kosher diets with prior notice.

Besides, altitude sickness has been a major problem for most of the visitors. Here are the few tips that are tried and tested by our professional leaders:
Safety and Security
Here are the few measures that you can implement to ensure safety:
Trekking equipment
You will be provided the following trekking equipment by our office
You will be provided an experienced guide for a group of 1-5. However, for the group of 6-12 individuals, you will have 2 professional guides. The package consists of 2 porters for every 2 individuals. You need to pack your bags lightly because you will not be able to carry heavy loads along with the trek. You will not be able to enjoy your journey in the Himalayas unless you pack wisely. You will be sleeping in small lodges and tea houses during the entire trip. Please be prepared with the right clothes as per the season. It will get colder at the higher elevations especially during winters. You can also consult us or simply visit our comprehensive packing list for the Annapurna Circuit trek in Nepal.
We must not overlook the issues of altitude sickness regarding the difficulty level of any trekking route in Nepal. When you start getting over 4000m, you might feel some difficulty. This is obvious that those hours seem to be never-ending. This route is the longest in the region. It is the complete circling of the Annapurna massif. The route is considered to be harder and complicated than Annapurna Base Camp Trek. This is because of the high altitude of Thorong La Pass which is about 5,416m. Steep climbs and long distance along with pared-down amenities adds the difficulty of the trek. You need to be physically fit and should be capable of walking 5 to 7 hours each day. Cycling, swimming, hiking, and jogging are some of the ways to get your body trained for a successful journey.
The best time is during the pre-monsoon months of March through May. It is also favorable after post-monsoon. This starts from late September till December. However, it is also possible to trek in February and early September.
We will run our booked trips under normal circumstances. You will still be going on the trip even if other hikers cancel at the end moment. We will not cancel the whole trip even if there are fewer participants. Please note that we will not be continuing the trip if there is a political riot, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics or catastrophes, etc.
You will be guided by experts who are experienced and have been to camp multiple times for years. Our guides are locals who communicate in English. They acquire deep knowledge of the mountain, people, culture, hygiene, and safety.
Our institution offers a lifetime deposit policy. This allows you the flexibility to transfer your deposit to anyone or any other trip. However, you will charge a certain amount, if you wished to cancel your booked trips. You may visit our booking terms and conditions. In this way, you will get detailed information.
