 Annapurna circuit trek Highlights...

Annapurna Circuit Trekking is renowned today as one of the most spectacular and varied walks in the world with lush green valleys and fascinating villages that offer impressive snow-capped views of the Himalayas - crossing over 5400 mtr pass.
IMPROVED ROUTE :
We have recently revised the itinerary between Muktinath and Ghorepani for this Annapurna circuit trek to avoid the dirt-road being built along the Kali Gandaki Valley. This section of the route now follows footpaths through pretty villages away from the road, but returns to the traditional circuit villages for overnight lodge stays. Like the route will go Jomsom to Dona Lake to Marpha visting some Gompas. From Marpha it goes to Tibetan refuge camp to Chibang Tukuche . Then to Larjung Titi lake - Titi village , Taklung - Kunjo then Ghasa.

Annapurna Circuit Trek: (with an improved route)
The Annapurna circuit trek starts from a drive to Besishar and wings through lush, subtropical forests and traditional farming terrace villages of west Nepal. Every ridge brings a Himalayan panorama with Annapurna's Himalchuli soaring above. A trek of the Marshangdi River valley will bring you almost to the base of Gangapurna and into the Manang valley where you will spend unforgettable 2 days gazing at the snow-covered peaks above and the beauty of the landscape around, Manang is a Himalayan Shangri-La. We will then proceed to climb the pass Thorong-la, (5416mtr), which once on top has a perfect 360-degree view that is breathtaking will make you feel proud to be there! (Above picture our client Mr. Allen from Canada standing on the top of Thorong la of Annapurna circuit trek Dec 2007)
Once we descend from the pass we will come into view of Mustang; a colorful landscape that is home to Tibetan Buddhism and many friendly people. We will follow the deepest gorge on Earth, the Kali Gandaki Valley, which is guarded by the giant peaks Dhaulagiri (8169m) and Nilgiri, then we use the same ancient paths that where used as trade routes between Nepal and Tibet. We will pass through apple and wheat farming areas, interacting with local Thakali people and sharing our beautiful moments with sheep and yak herders.

Then to Larjung Titi lake - Titi village , Taklung - Kunjo then Ghasa.

The Annapurna circuit trek you can also end in Jomsom taking flight to Pokhara, if so the trek can be shorten to 16 or 18 days. Because of the motorable road reached to Jomsom now ( although not many car or Jeep running) people prefer to fly from Jomsom to Pokhara.

Some Frequently Aasked Questions (FAQ) By Our Customers:

The best season for trek in Nepal is half of February to June and September to early December. We have summer trek to Mustang, Ladakh or Tibet too.

Half of February to First week of June: From the half of February until the first part of June temperatures are relatively warm, 10° to 15° warmer than in the fall. Mornings are bright and clear with the air slowly becoming hazier as the day progresses. The rhododendron forests in springtime are spectacular, with color displays that are "Himalayan" in beauty. June is warm and green with many fewer people - the sense of solitude is much greater than other seasons.

September to half of December: September to early December is an ideal time for the best mountain views. The days are typically sunny and clear with moderate temperatures and the evenings are usually quite cold.
