Trip Overview
Annapurna Circuit Trek in Nepal is one of the best long and beautiful treks in the world. Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) completed an alternative trekking route in 2006 and named them NATT (New Annapurna Trekking Trails). And finally, back in 2012, NATT renamed Natural Annapurna Trekking trail which avoids the newly open roads.
Since the Annapurna Circuit opened to foreign trekkers in 1977, this trek has become renowned as one of the most spectacular trekking routes in the world. It incorporates dramatic deep gorges, high mountain passes, Buddhist temples, and rustic villages. Moreover, you will get to see a superb view of the Annapurna Massif and Dhaulagiri. The variety of landscapes ranging from subtropical through alpine peaks to an arid semidesert is another highlight of this trek.
The climax of the trek is crossing the iconic Thorong La Pass (5,416 m). Whereas, the view of the numerous peaks like Annapurna I-IV, Annapurna South, Gangapurna, Nilgiri, Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri, and other adjacent peaks from the pass is extremely dazzling.
Classic Annapurna Circuit Trek in Nepal consists of a circular route around the Annapurna Massif. It follows a path that will take you to the Marsyangdi Valley to the north of the main Himalayan range and crosses a Throng La Pass. Further, the trail descends onto a high-altitude plateau that takes you south along the remarkable valley of Kali Gandaki.
Besides, a varied landscape and majestic mountains, the walk passes through the typical villages of diverse ethnic groups such as Gurung, Magar, and Thakali.
