The classic circuit around the Annapurna massif. Thorong La Pass and rich cultural variety.
The Annapurna Circuit is one of the world’s great long-distance treks. It circles the Annapurna massif, crossing the high Thorong La Pass (5,416 m) and moving through Hindu lowlands, Buddhist high valleys, and the arid rain-shadow of Mustang.
You experience Manang, the pilgrimage site of Muktinath, and optional side trips to Ice Lake or Gangapurna Lake. Road construction has shortened some sections; we design the itinerary to keep the best walking days and cultural highlights.
