Annapurna Circuit Trek (15–18 Days)
The Annapurna Circuit trek is one of Nepal’s most rewarding and diverse trekking routes, famous for crossing the Thorong La Pass (5,416m), one of the world’s highest trekking passes. This moderate trek takes you through lush valleys, traditional Gurung and Thakali villages, dramatic gorges, and into the arid landscapes of Manang and Mustang. With rich cultural encounters and stunning Himalayan panoramas, it remains a top choice for trekkers. The best seasons are spring (Mar–May) and autumn (Oct–Nov).
