The highlight of the trek is crossing the highest point of the Annapurna Circuit- Thorong La Pass at 5,416 m. Due to the difficulties of crossing the pass and long altitude gain, the circuit is usually walked in a counter-clockwise direction.
As we descend to the west at Muktinath from the pass, we continue to the barren Tibetan like village of the Kali Gandaki – the world’s deepest gorge that passes between the giant Annapurna (8091 m) and Dhaulagiri (8167 m) mountains. After you cross the Thorong La Pass from Manang to Muktinath, we head to Tatopani hotsprings and climb to Poon Hill for a breathtaking panoramic view of the Himalayas right before descending back to Pokhara.

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?
- Is quarantine in Nepal in effect for arriving visitors?

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.
