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 trek passes through monasteries such as Tengboche and Pangboche, offering moments of tranquility and insight into Sherpa Buddhist culture.

Accommodation during the trek is a combination of hotel, mountain lodges and our Private Comfort Camps, offering a comfortable base in remote mountain settings.
