The Annapurna circuit trek is an unforgettable journey of discovery that will take you through some of the most geographically and culturally diverse areas in Nepal.
The trek begins from Nagdi and you will make your way through picturesque villages such as Chamje and Chame. These are small well-known villages that act as a checkpoint for people who come to trek the Annapurna region. The path is full of breathtaking views of the Annapurna and the Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. The towering peak of Annapurna I, II, III, and IV, Dhaulagiri, and Machapuchare mountains stand tall and proud.

One of the greatest highlights (if not the greatest highlight) of this trek is crossing the Thorong La Pass, the highest navigable mountain pass in the world. Located at an altitude of 5,416 meters above sea level, things can get dangerous around here. But you will be on the hands of expert guides to assist you. The sense of achievement you’ll feel as you complete the checkpoints is what makes this trek great. You discover your resilience and strength as you discover the treasures of the Himalayas. The views you will get to see from the top will surely be awe-inspiring.

Descending back, a completely new trail awaits you. You will get a chance to walk through the Kali Gandaki Gorge, the deepest gorge in the world and home to a stunning array of wildlife and vegetation. The cultural value of this trek is also immense. You will learn a lot about the culture, history and lifestyle of mountain communities, as well as visit temples and monasteries like the Muktinath temple, a holy site for both Buddhists and Hindus.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about this tour.
  • How much money do I need to bring with me?

    Your personal budget obviously depends on your spending habits and what is included in your trip cost. If accommodation is included, but meals are not, we would suggest that you bring around 30 USD per day per person for meals. Having a hot shower or charging your device sometimes costs extra. There are also sometimes small crafts/souvenirs to buy along the trekking route which you may want to bring extra money for. Also, consider whether you would be staying in Kathmandu or Pokhara before or after your trek.

  • Is there a “new” Annapurna circuit trail that avoids roads?

    Despite some rumors, there isn't a “new” Annapurna Circuit Trek. It is the same Annapurna Circuit Trek that it always has been. In some parts, trekkers will be walking on the road and in other parts, trekkers will be walking on a trail.

  • Is quarantine in Nepal in effect for arriving visitors?

    There are no quarantine requirements in Nepal for arriving visitors at the moment.

  • How much should my backpack weigh?

    A properly packed backpack (not including your day pack) should ideally not weigh more than 13 kg. It is also important to note that if you are taking a flight to the start of your trek, many smaller aircraft have weight restrictions. For example, if you are flying from Kathmandu to Lukla, you are only allowed 10kg of checked luggage, and 5 kg of hand baggage. Thus, in case of a small flight, you should ideally pack a 10 kg backpack for checked luggage, and then add 5 kg in your hand baggage. You can then re-shuffel the weigt once you start your trek at the trailhead.  

  • Do I need a porter?

    The decision to hire a porter is up to you and usually based on your fitness level and/or budget. One porter can be shared between two people and can carry up to 25 kg. Many trekkers hire a porter to have a more comfortable trek.
