The Annapurna Base Camp Trek leads into the Annapurna Sanctuary, a natural amphitheater of ice and rock surrounded by Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and the sacred Machhapuchhre (Fishtail).

The trail passes through Gurung and Magar villages, rhododendron forests and terraced fields before climbing into the high alpine basin at 4,130 m. Lower maximum altitude than Everest makes it an excellent choice for many first-time high-altitude trekkers, while the scenery remains world-class.

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.

Mardi Himal is a relatively new and still quieter trail in the Annapurna region. It follows a high ridge toward Mardi Himal Base Camp / viewpoint (around 4,200–4,500 m) with close-up views of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South and Hiunchuli.

Ideal for travelers with limited time who still want a real high-Himalayan experience without the crowds of the classic ABC or Circuit routes.
