Annapurna Circuit Trek (23 Days)


This classic trek circles the entire Annapurna massif and in so doing offers a spectacular variety of people and himalaya landscapes, from lowland farming country to alpine meadows to the Tibet-like country on the northern slopes of the Himalaya. We start in the foothills at Besi Sahar and rise after 7/8 days to the settlement of Manang at 3500m where we acclimatise and enjoy the mountain views. We continue to ascend and on day 10 of the trek we cross the famous Thorung La Pass, at 5416m, to Muktinath, an important pilgrimage site for Hindus and Buddhists.
