Annapurna Treks

The Annapurna Circuit

The Annapurna Circuit is one of the most highly praised treks in Nepal and is typically completed between 16 to 20 days.

Starting in the forests on the banks of the Marshyandi Riverbank, the first few days will take you through the hidden valleys of the Manang district, up to your accommodation at 3,504 metres. After acclimatising, you’ll push onto the literal and metaphorical high point of the trek, the Thorong-La Pass (5416m), the highest navigable pass in the world.

From here, you’ll slowly descend past the Nepalese villages on the Kaligandaki river bank before gladly arriving at the hot springs in the forests of Tatopani.

The Annapurna circuit is the perfect introduction to the Himalayas. As long as you are reasonably fit and robust, this world-famous hike is well within grasp.

Poon Hill-Ghorepani

The sunrise view of the Annapurna mountain range from Poon Hill (3,201m) is an essential Himalayan moment. This shorter hike is considered an ‘easier’ Himalayan hike, steep ascents and high altitudes will still require decent fitness and thorough preparation.

The first part of the trek will pass through the village of Banthanti and up to the Magar village of Ghorepani, where you’ll stay before your jaw-dropping, early morning Poon Hill sunrise hike. Be mindful that during peak season, you almost certainly won’t be on Poon Hill alone.

The descent will take you through the forests of Jhindu Danda, where you’ll have an unfettered view of Annapurna South (7,219m) and Machapuchhre (6,993m), and finally to the natural hot springs of Tatopani. This is an ideal introduction hike for those looking to dip a toe into stunning, sprawling world of the Himalayas.
