Annapurna Circuit Trek

Annapurna Circuit Trek

Annapurna Circuit Trek normally called 'Round Annapurna' is widely acclaimed as one of the world’s most popular treks. The route begins with a dirt road that extends up valley of Beshisahar. Much of the way to Khudi makes use of this dirt road. The first part of the trek makes easy walking. The trek links the valley of the Marshyangdi river with that of the Kaligandaki making a long horse shoe loop of the Annapurna Himal. Thorong La (5416m) is the climax of the trek and one can gain Himalayan experiences going through subtropical to alpine and ultimately an arid semi-desert plateau- Mustang region. Varied ecosystems, diverse cultures and an ever-changing landscape - lush, green paddy fields and oak forests, arid deserts and the deepest gorge in the world make this one of the most popular treks in the world.
