Trip Introduction

Annapurna Circle Trek is one of the most popular classic treks in the world that takes us from 830m/2,723ft to 5,416m/17,769ft through the deep valleys and high mountains encircling the giant Annapurna Himal. The most enchanting trek further provides us a chance to congregate with wide range of culturally rich ethnic groups and walk in a diverse terrain, from subtropical jungle to a high and dry landscape resembling the Tibetan plateau. While experiencing an opportunity to interact with assorted ethnic groups, it will be a walk by the world's deepest Kali Gandaki gorge, an exciting triumph over one of the world's highest pass -Thorong La (5,416m/17,769ft), the Manang valley, the spiritual Muktinath and the most fantastic and famous view point-Poon Hill. Upon the completion of this magical 17-day trek, we will find we have gone through the entire Annapurna massif and reached the Zenith. Since vehicles have started plying on some sections of the circle, we would cover some sections of the trip by available vehicle too.

We begin the Trek from a day brief sightseeing program at the downtown of Kathmandu. In the next day, we drive to Syange or Jagat (as per situation) from Kathmandu about 8 to 10 hours' drive. The initial days of the trek involves walking through rice farms, forests and friendly ethnic villages in the lower realm of the Annapurna Conservation Area. Thorong La is the highest point of the trek from where we can marvel at the fabulous Mustang peak and the snow-clad bulk of Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167m/26,795ft). While descending, we will have a chance to visit the Hindu pilgrimage site - Muktinath (3,800m/12,467ft) and wonder in amazement at the presence of 108 small waterfalls and mysterious natural gas fires. From Muktinath, we take nearly 6 to 8 hours' drive to Tatopani, a famous place for natural hot springs - where we relax our tired body with a dip in one of them. We again start trekking to Ghorepani, Tadapani, Ghandruk and finally arrive in Pokhara and drive back to Kathmandu on a tourist bus. Upon arrival in kathmandu, we attend a farewell dinner hosted by Himalayan Glacier and receive a warm congratulations on the completion of the trek!

Himalayan Glacier's 17 days Annapurna Circle Trek is a great introductory trek for those who would likt to experience the whole Annapurna circle but has time restriction because one can even take available vehicles during this trek to complete the whole circle. If we are interested to make a similar trek but accomplish the whole circle on foot, Himalayan Glacier's Annapurna Circuit Trek-21 days would be best for us. Himalayan Glacier has also designed Annapurna Sunrise Trek-9 days for the travelers wishing to experience major attractions of Annapurna in very limited time frame. For the trekkers longing to experience some of the most interesting features of the Annapurna region including Annapurna Base Camp, Machhapuchhre Base Camp, and Poon Hill, Himalayan Glacier's Annapurna Sanctuary Trek-16 days itinerary will be the best option.

Best Season

Autumn (mid Sept to mid Dec) and Spring (March to May) are the best seasons for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. The weather is sunny and warm, with outstanding views but the nights are cold and can fall to freezing point. Winter (Dec, Jan, Feb) is also good for Annapurna Base Camp Trek, only colder (obviously). The trekking routes are crowded during Spring and Autumn but during winter the routes are not packed and we could enjoy rather best of nature.
