Annapurna Circuit (5416m)
Himalaya’s Most Scenic Trek
Overview
The Annapurna Circuit is one of Nepal’s most iconic and diverse treks — a journey that takes you from lush subtropical forests and terraced farmlands to alpine meadows and the windswept valleys of the high Himalayas. Along the way, you'll pass through traditional villages, cross suspension bridges, and gradually ascend to the dramatic Thorong La Pass (5416m) — the highest point of the route. With breathtaking mountain views, rich cultural encounters, and constantly shifting landscapes, the Annapurna Circuit offers a truly immersive Himalayan adventure.
When is the best time to trek?
The best seasons are March–May and late September–November, when the weather is stable, skies are clear, and trails are accessible. Spring brings colorful blooms, while autumn offers crisp views and great conditions for crossing the passes. Winter treks are possible for the brave, but deep snow may block some passes.
