The Annapurnas provide the adventurer with a complete package in a relatively small area. One can walk beneath some of the highest and as far as the Annapurnas is concerned, most dramatic mountain ranges in the world within days. The Annapurnas also has fantastic glaciers, high altitude lakes and breathtaking gorges. The entire area is well serviced by lodges along the way. We utilize these extensively, favouring those that are starting to introduce ecologically sound practices and providing the owners and their families with a much-needed income.

Annapurna Circuit (16 Days)
We have specially designed this Annapurna circuit trekking route making it shorter and avoiding the walk on recently built road. This classic 17-day trek completely around the famed Annapurna Massif offers the most diversity of any trek in Nepal: fascinating ethnic groups each with their own language, incredible views of many of the Himalaya's most famous high peaks, and constantly changing panoramas - from lush, tropical rice paddies and moss-laden rhododendron forests to Tibetan fortresses clinging to rocky cliffs.

Starting with a drive to Besisar we ascend along the Marsyangdi river valley. We pass beneath snow-capped Annapurnas II, III and IV and a range of 6,000m/20,000ft peaks stretching north to Tibet. Crossing Thorung La pass (5418m/17,770ft) to reach the holy shrine of Muktinath. We then descend into the mighty Kali Gandaki Valley - the deepest river valley on the face of the earth - 7000m/23,000ft deep between Dhaulagiri and Annapurna. At the end we trek through a wonderful rhododendron forest on the Gorepani Ridge and the picturesque Gurung villages before finishing back in the Pokhara Valley.
