Annapurna Circuit Trek

Trek Type: Lodge Trek
Duration: 18-22 Days
Max. Elevation: 5416m at Thorogla
Trek Rating: Moderate to Strenuous

The circuit, beginning at Besi Sahar and ending usually at Naya Pul, is considered the "classic" trek in Nepal. The walk starts off in sub-tropical forests and terraced farm lands and climbs through oak and rhododendron forests into fir and pine and finally into sub-alpine. Then the pure alpine regions of the magnificent Thorung La pass (5416m). The diversity of cultures in this region matches the eco-diversity. This route provides an excellent “window” through which you u can view a wonderful cross section of Nepal. If you have the time to visit only one sector of this country-make it the Annapurna region. Spectacular, close-up views of soaring, ice-capped peaks, tumbling waterfalls, lush forests, craggy high passes provide the backdrop for ancient walled villages and people representing many of Nepal’s ethnic groups. This is an experience that cannot be missed.
