Hike the Annapurna Circuit for a spectacular adventure in Nepal

On your next trip to Nepal, don't miss out on doing one of the most famous treks in the world - the Annapurna Circuit.
The Annapurna Circuit covers 150 miles of winding trails through the Nepalese mountains, making it a perfect place for adventure travelers to visit. Follow the Marsyangdi River north, and watch how the landscape changes from emerald green grass and trees to rocky mountain faces.

Wind through some of the worlds most famous mountain peaks, including Manaslu, the Annapuras and Gangapurna. While on your hike, you will notice the transition of cultures as Buddhist chortens and prayer flags line your path north to Pisang.
At 5,416 meters, the beautiful pass of Thong La links the Marsyangdi with the Kali Gandaki Valley and will wind you back towards the temples of Muktinath, where the panoramic views of the valley below will take your breath away.
Annapura is a subrange of the Himalaya mountains, and Annapurna I reaches 26,538 feet making it the 10th-highest summit in the world.
For the most authentic experience, it is recommended that you travel with a small adventure travel group.
