About Annapurna Circuit Trekking

Annapurna Circuit Trek is an epitome of long detour walking. It redefines the long trekking journey to the next level. It is never boring. There is no monotonous scenery. In every day walking trekkers find the different landscapes, vegetation, and community. Walk on Nepal’s top long trekking route and collect the tale of the outstanding voyage. Thorong La Pass, Manang Valley, Lower Mustang and Mountains provide the enthralling walking experience. Temperate, Deciduous, Coniferous, Alpine and Tundra Vegetation provide the proof of rich diverse natural setting of the trail. Brahmins, Chhetris, Sudras, Tibetans, Gurung, Magar and Thakali community endows the diverse yet warm hospitality. It would not be an exasperation to say that it is truly the most satisfying walking route ever in the world. However, the road network expansion has shortened the course. Trekkers used to start the walking from Besisahar earlier. Nowadays, trekkers start their journey either from Chamje or Pisang. The agency, however, recommends the different itineraries. The trekkers have to walk through the high altitude destinations.

Therefore, there is a high risk of altitude sickness. In order to avoid such trauma starting the journey gradually is great. Annapurna Circuit Trek has three phases. The first is the Manang Valley with acclimatization. Second is the crossing of the Thorong La Pass and third is the Lower Mustang region. During acclimatization rest in Manang Valley trekkers get a chance to witness the landscape, monasteries, and Gurung – Tibetan communities. It is time for your body to adjust with high altitude pressures as well. The second phase of Thorong La Pass crossing is arduous. Therefore, meticulous planning is essential. Expert travel planners of this agency have knitted the best itinerary for the trekkers to successfully complete the voyage. From Thorong Phedi or High Camp to Muktinath is daunting yet full of the mountain vista. From the top of the Thorong Pass, one can get the sight of a plethora of mountains. It is definitely the mini – mountaineering experience. On the other side of the pass, the Lower Mustang Valley awaits. Muktinath Temple and Nunnery, as well as the Kagbeni Village, are the places to relax your tired muscles.

Trekkers can have a chance to prolong their journey towards Ghorepani as well. There are three options available. Either flight back to Pokhara or bus ride or the longer trekking to Poon Hill Annapurna Base Camp route are the options. Plan accordingly with our travel experts.
