Annapurna Circuit Trekking

Annapurna Circuit TrekkingAbout Annapurna Circuit
Since, its first opening in 1977 the Annapurna circuit trek has been one of the best classic treks in the world. The Annapurna Circuit mainly begins from Besisahar following through Marshyangdi River with outlooks of Manaslu and Himal Chuli on the east side. There are mainly four regions passed through on the trek: Lamjung, Manang, Mustang and Myagdi. Therefore, throughout this outrageous trek to Annapurna we get to see the rural community populated with diverse social groups coupled with spectacular mountain views and changing landscape.

When is the time to trek to Annapurna Circuit?
The main trekking season is October and November but it could be a little crowded at this time. However it is possible to do the circuit most of the year, but we would strongly recommend the trekkers to gear up for Annapurna during seasons of September and December as the weather is still good and the circuit is less busy.

Highlights of the Annapurna Circuit Trek
Highlights of the Annapurna Circuit trek include the Kali Gandaki River on the other side of the ThorungLa Pass which is believed to be the deepest ravine in the world, five times deeper than the Grand Canyon. The Kali Gandaki cuts deeply between Mt. Dhaulagiri (8167m) to the west and Mt. Annapurna (8091m) to the east.

After walking down the Kali Gandaki gorge surrounded by the stunning views of mountains and diverse landscape; the trail passes through 'Ghorepani ', mostly known for a sunrise view.
