When you visit Nepal for your dream holiday trekking in the world’s most glorious mountain terrain, it’s strongly recommended that you consider enjoying the panoramic views from the Annapurna Circuit.
Annapurna is the tenth highest of the world’s mountains (8,091 meters, or 26,545 ft) and offers explorers a diverse range of peaks and features that make it a trekking magnet. Walking around this area will provide fascination at every step.
Incidentally, if you want a short trekking break in this same region, the Ghorepani Poon Hill circuit trek is also popular. It misses out on the Annapurna Base Camp and other high terrains.
However, for many adventure-seekers and serious mountain walkers, the entire massif and its surrounding Annapurna Conservation Area are worth an 11 night trekking holiday with Nepal Mountain Trekkers.
Panaromic landscape, and marvels close at hand
Our expert trekking guides can also point out rare and precious flora and fauna and will help you spot the abundant local wildlife. Your trek around the Annapurna Circuit could provide a never-to-be-forgotten sighting of a snow leopard, black bear, wild boar, musk deer, or even a red panda.

Other unforgettable experiences around Annapurna
There are too many activities, sights, and experiences to sum up in a few words. However, many trekking holiday veterans list viewing the world’s deepest canyon (Kali Gandaki Gorge) and crossing the high pass of Thorong La (5416m) as their greatest ever achievements.
For others, the most exhilarating holiday moments were viewing snow-capped peaks from many elevations and angles, with the opportunities to see the Mt. Dhaulagiri view; Mt. Machhapuchre view; Mt. Nilgiri view, and the Tukuche peak.
Alternatively, your trek holiday highlight could be visiting the spiritually-rich mountain villages, including the timeless Muktinath.
Even from day one, you will add to your list of holiday memories that last a lifetime, as your walking adventure holiday starts at the gateway to Annapurna Circuit - Pokhara city.
Here you will see the ornate Tal Barahi Temple, which sits on an island within Phewa Lake, and you can wander around the International Mountain Museum, to research the history of mountaineering and the fascinating heritage of the Himalayas.
