Nepal is a Himalayan country that sits on the roof of the world, stretching 500 miles from east to west and 150 miles from north to south. Within these borders can be found 8 of the world’s ten highest mountains and undoubtedly the world’s best trekking areas. Closed to foreigners until 1949, Nepal has long been the ultimate destination for mountaineers and trekkers worldwide. In addition, Nepal is a land of incredible diversity – its culture, religions, geography, and wildlife fascinate and challenge the imagination.

The Annapurna region is that north of Pokhara in Central Nepal and includes some of the world’s highest and most beautiful mountains. These include the Annapurna range, Dhaulagiri, and Machhapuchhre – the famous fish-tail mountain that dominates the skyline above Pokhara. In addition, this area boasts the Kali Gandaki, the world’s deepest gorge.
This classic trek circles the entire Annapurna massif and, in so doing, offers a spectacular variety of people and landscapes, from lowland farming country to alpine meadows to the Tibet-like country on the northern slopes of the Himalayas. We start in the foothills at Besi Sahar and rise after six days to the settlement of Manang at 3500m, where we acclimatize and enjoy the mountain views. We continue to ascend, and on day 10 of the trek, we cross the famous Thorung La, at 5416m, to Muktinath, an important pilgrimage site for Hindus and Buddhists.
From here, we descend into the Kali Gandaki, with Annapurna and Dhaulagiri towering on either side. En route back to Pokhara, we pass through the many beautiful hill villages that populate this ancient trading route between Tibet and India. We also visit the hot springs at Tatopani and climb up Poon Hill, above Ghorepani, to enjoy magnificent mountain views. Accommodation and food are provided in the local lodges. Transport to Besi Sahar is by private coach, and then return to Kathmandu from Pokhara is by air.
