Book this adventure trip with us for your life time memory.

Annapurna Circuit Trek completes an entire loop around the Annapurna range. Annapurna Circuit Trek is best trekking destinations of Nepal. It entails 300 km of walking through lush green forests, culturally rich villages and majestic mountains covered in snow. Commencing in the hilly region of Besisahar the trek passes through the culturally rich regions of Manang. we recommend for acclimatization one day in Manang for high Altitude and excursion around Manang village if you stay at Manang you will get more confidence with high altitudes also Manang valley is a nice place you will get chance to explore Gangapurna glacier and visit monasteries. The trek also includes the highest pass in the world; Thorong-la Pass (5416m). The qualities one can enjoy during this Annapurna Circuit Trek include exploring the natural and cultural wonders, observing tribal lifestyles and sightings of rare flora and fauna of the great Himalayan region. Dominated by high hills and mountains where many parts are still inaccessible, very good view of snowed covered mountain. Annapurna Circuit Trek follows the beaten path used as a trade route between Nepal and Tibet in ancient times. In those days, it was mainly for trading salt. Today, in this region, Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism, Hinduism and the ancient Bon-Po religion coexist and interpenetrate one another.

During the Annapurna Circuit Trek you will also pass through Muktinath, a very special and holy site for Hindus and Buddhists alike. Believers travel to Muktinath from near and far to cleanse themselves of their sins. One of our previous trekkers experienced the sighting of a man who had flown from India to Kathmandu and then flown by helicopter to Muktinath (at great expense). This extensive trip was undertaken for the reason explained above. One can also enjoy an unusually wide range of climatic zones and varying altitudes in such a small area.

Annapurna Circuit Trek ascends from the lowlands of Besisahar (900m) to the snowy terrain of Thorong-La Pass (5416m). Capturing these moments, trying ethnic cuisine and mingling with the locals will provide priceless memories of the Annapurna Circuit Trek. The Second option when you finished your trek at Jomsom you can choose another trekking route Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek or you can fly from Jomsom to Pokhara. Pokhara is the last stop on the Annapurna Circuit Trekking before returning to Kathmandu.

Trek Grading

Remember Annapurna Circuit Trek is Adventure Trekking in Nepal so you should have well fitness level and well prepared, before you come to Annapurna Circuit Trekking its much better to go Swimming, Cycling or walk every day 4 km. Remember that no trek in the Himalaya is a stroll as all involve going up and down at altitude and that altitude affects everyone differently.

It should be better to bring the USD in Nepal. Because you can change everywhere easily.

Health

There are no specific health requirements for travel into Nepal. However, for the trekking in Himalayas, you are in excellent health with average physical fitness and have positive attitude, self confidence and strong determination, you can accomplish this trek successfully but you should consult your doctor for up-to-date information regarding vaccinations, high altitude medication and medications for any reasonably foreseeable illnesses whilst traveling in Nepal. Some part of trekking have a small health post for emergency treatment with limited equipment, limited health workers and medication. Be aware that some drugs, including anti-malarial, have side effects at altitude. Please discuss this carefully with your doctor.

Please be aware that you will be in remote areas and away from medical facilities for some time during this trip. We strongly recommend that you carry a personal First Aid kit as well as sufficient quantities of any personal medical requirements (including a spare pair of glasses).

High Altitude Sickness

AMS (acute mountain sickness) is a serious issue. It is the result of the failure of the body to adapt to high altitude and can affect anyone, regardless of age or fitness. It usually occurs above 1,800 meters and the likelihood of being affected increases as you ascend. The way to reduce the affects of altitude is to ascend slowly, 300 meters per day above 3,000 meters until you have acclimatized. Poor acclimatization results in headache, nausea, sleeplessness, difficulty breathing and swelling of fingers and glands. The only cure for AMS is to descend to lower altitude and your guide's decision on this matter is final. When you are planning to trek above 3,000 meters we recommend not walks faster. If you will get altitude sickness please consult with your guide to go down at least 500 meters to recover.

Nepal Visa

Multiple entry visas are available on arrival at Kathmandu airport and all land borders except the citizens of Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Cameroon, Somalia, Liberia, Ethiopia, Iraq, and Palestine, Afghanistan.

Wonderful presence to our family holiday, wouldn't have been the same without him!”

We were trekking with OB and 2 porters for 13 days and nights on the Annapurna Circuit. It was an unbelievably amazing experience that would not have been the same without OB and his team. The pace we walked at was perfect for us (late teenaged kids, parents in 50s) - fast enough to feel the exercise, yet slow enough to soak in every beautiful viewpoint. OB's gentle, kind, considerate personality is exactly the soothing presence you need after each day of walking. Feel so lucky to have befriended him - one of the truly loveliest people I've met. Definitely recommend him to anyone wanting a genuine, peaceful and wonderful guide and experience in the Himalayas that you'll never forget!
