Overview

The Annapurna Circuit is considered one of the world's greatest trekking routes, offering incredible diversity in landscapes, cultures, and climates. The classic circuit circumnavigates the Annapurna massif, passing through lush subtropical forests, arid high-altitude deserts, crossing the dramatic Thorong La Pass (5,416m), and descending into the sacred Muktinath valley. The trek showcases Hindu and Buddhist cultures, traditional villages, terraced fields, and close-up views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Manaslu ranges. Modern roads have changed parts of the route, but it remains a bucket-list adventure.
