Annapurna Circuit Trek

Annapurna Circuit Trek in Nepal

Annapurna Circuit Trek takes place in the Annapurna Region, one of the best trekking regions in the world and one of the best in Nepal. It shows you all the hidden beauties of the region from Jagat to Dharapani. This trek is the finest example of trekking in Nepal that takes you from an area of green vegetation to a place of rocky and barren land, including snow-covered mountains. There are many reasons why the Annapurna Circuit Trek or Annapurna Circuit Trekking is famous worldwide; one of the reasons is the Thorong La Pass, from where you will see the breathtaking view of the mountains. In addition, the trekking trail you follow takes you to the famous trekking places of Nepal, such as Mustang and Manang.

Annapurna Circuit Trekking equals the view of Annapurna I, Annapurna II, Annapurna III, Annapurna IV, Annapurna South, Gangapurna, Nilgiri, Machhapuchhre, and Dhaulagiri. When you see this view, you create an attachment with nature, and when you dip in Tatopani, you feel you should be in love with the gifts of nature. This is why the Annapurna Circuit Trekking goes beyond the definition of trekking, which states uphill and downhill trails that frame beautiful views and heights where you will be trekking. The main features of  Annapurna Circuit Trek in Nepal are:

    ★ One of the treks in the highest passes of the world

    ★ Display of nature at its best in a remote Himalayan region

    ★ Trekking trail in the desert of the Himalayan region
