Annapurna Circuit Trek

5.0(34 reviews)

The Annapurna Circuit – considered the iconic trek in Nepal – is legendary in the hiking community for its unrivalled variety of landscapes. However, few trekking trips complete the route, often skipping the final leg, which means missing out on deserted trails and unforgettable nights in quiet teahouses. We just couldn’t do that. Join us to tackle the full lap, crossing high trails and the formidable Thorong La while enjoying superb views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains and the ever-changing scenery. Based in teahouses throughout, we spend time in villages inhabited by many of Nepal’s different peoples, both Buddhist and Hindu. Selected departures are led by Valerie Parkinson, Wanderlust World Guide Award winner (Best Tour Leader, 2021), celebrating 40 years of guiding Himalayan expeditions. See Dates & Prices.

The adventure begins with a scenic flight into Lukla, followed by gradual acclimatisation as we make our way through Sherpa villages, including Namche Bazaar, Khumjung, and Khunde. The trek passes through monasteries such as Tengboche and Pangboche, offering moments of tranquility and insight into Sherpa Buddhist culture. Reaching Everest Base Camp at 5,364m (17,598ft) is a highlight, and during the peak expedition season from March to May, you may witness climbers preparing for their summit bids. This Everest Circuit Trek stays in Private Comfort Camps and carefully selected lodges. These private camps provide raised beds, clean linen, a heated dining room and a more immersive experience with our Sherpa team, who share their culture and stories along the way. With a well-paced itinerary featuring built-in acclimatisation days, this Everest Circuit Trek is suited for fit and adventurous trekkers looking for a challenge beyond the standard Everest Base Camp trek.
