Annapurna Region Trekking

Trekking in the Annapurna Region offers the chance to witness breathtaking mountain vistas, trek through scenic trails, experience the fascinating local culture and more, all while remaining relatively easy in terms of difficulty. Situated in the central part of the Himalayas, the region is home to Annapurna (8091m), Dhaulagiri (8167m), Manaslu (8156m), Machhapuchhare (6996m), Nilgiri (6940m), Tukuche (6920m) and various other peaks.

The Annapurna Region is the most visited destination in Nepal, with over 40,000 visitors in a year. This immense popularity can be attributed to a number of factors. From the fascinating culture, lifestyle and hospitality of the locals, to the pleasant but adventurous trails that offers amazing views of the mountain vistas, Annapurna has it all. The Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal’s largest protected area also adds to this with its huge altitude range covering areas from 800 meters all the way to over 8000 meters. The ecosystems here range from lush sub-tropical forests to arid sub alpine hills and mountains, creating habitats for a huge variety of flora and fauna. The high pass of Thorung La at 5416m, the world’s deepest gorge Kaligandaki gorge, the alpine lake of Tilicho at 4919m, the sacred pilgrimage of Muktinath and the unique desert-like Himalayan landscape of Mustang comprise some other major highlights of the region.

Annapurna Region Trekking has something for everyone, ranging from short and easy treks like Australian Base Camp Sarangkot and Ghorepani Poon Hill to more moderate treks like Annapurna Base Camp and Mardi Himal Trek, and finally lengthier ones like Annapurna Circuit Trek as well. Most treks begin from and end at the lakeside city of Pokhara. The Sarangkot and Poon Hill treks are highly popular for the heavenly sunrise/sunset views from their respective vantage points. The ABC, Mardi Himal and Annapurna Circuit treks are more adventurous options for those who wish to explore the scenic trails, remote lifestyle and wilderness of the region.
