Around Annapurna Trek

Asian Trekking logo

This trek offers everything from rice fields to stark desert landscapes and is full of magnificent views of the Himalayas from all angles. The ‘circuit’ is a big loop around the edge of the Annapurna Conservation Area and receives more tourists than the Everest region – for good reason! It is an absolutely stunning journey and really worth doing if you have the time. The route is typically done anti-clockwise because the Thorang Pass is very difficult to pass going south. But for the extreme adventurer, going the other way around is definitely an option. This is the full trek but now that the roads in the region go further, you can shorten the beginning and end to suit your desires.

Good To Know

Asian Trekking is a Nepali expedition operating company established 41 years ago. According to Paragraph 26 of the Tourism Act (2035), no foreign expedition teams or companies are allowed to provide expedition services in Nepal directly and any foreign company must work through a Nepali company licensed by the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation, Government of Nepal. As such, Nepali companies are the ones that provide all the legal, administrative, logistical, guiding and support services in Nepal, while also being legally responsible for the safe and responsible conduct of the expeditions. Booking through foreign expedition companies naturally makes the cost to the customer higher due to the extra layer of administration and profit margins, without necessarily adding any extra value.
