Annapurna Circuit Hike Overview
The Annapurna Circuit is one of the most popular treks in the world, renowned for its dramatic deep gorges, high mountain passes, breathtaking viewpoints (such as Poon Hill), hot springs, and Buddhist and Hindu temples. Along the way, trekkers encounter delightful farming villages and stunning views of the Annapurna summits. This 14-day trek involves a drive to Chame and Muktinath, with the return journey to Pokhara—no flights are necessary.
First opened for travel in the mid-1980s, the Annapurna Circuit has since become one of the most beloved trekking regions in Nepal. Once you experience it for yourself, you’ll understand why. The trek is surrounded by lush rhododendron and cypress forests, massive snow-capped peaks, and the deepest valley in the world. You’ll cross the highest pass, while taking in mind-blowing views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massifs. Iconic peaks such as Annapurna I, II, III, IV, Dhaulagiri (8167m), Machapuchare (Fish Tail), Annapurna South, and Manaslu will leave an indelible mark on your memory.
Trekking will guide you through the awe-inspiring Kali Gandaki Gorge (the deepest gorge in the world), to Tilicho Lake, one of the highest lakes in the world. Along the way, you’ll pass cascading Rupse Falls and trek through forests of rhododendron, bamboo, oak, and cypress. With over 100 varieties of orchids, and sightings of unique local wildlife such as Martin deer, langur monkeys, and even the elusive snow leopard, this trek offers an unforgettable experience. The vast Annapurna Conservation Area is also home to the Sherpa people, whose culture and beliefs are rich in history.
Several starting points for the trek are available, including Chame and Muktinath. The trail follows the swift-flowing Marsyangdi River before heading north into the lush Manang Valley, passing through Pisang and Braga. At the halfway point, you’ll ascend to the highest point of the trek, the wind-swept Thorung La Pass (5416m). After crossing the pass, you’ll make a rapid descent to the holy Buddhist temple at Muktinath.

We begin the third day of our trek, following the Marsyangdi River. After a steep climb, we enter the Manang region, reaching Tal village. Here, we are greeted by several waterfalls that form a river by the sandy beaches. As we hike through barley, rice, and potato fields, we arrive at Kodo, one of the largest villages in the Manang Valley. Continuing forward, we cross a suspension bridge and, after a short climb through a stone Kani (archway), we reach Dharapani, our destination for the day.
After leaving Chame, we pass through rhododendron, pine, and bamboo forests, following the trail through the valley before arriving at Tal with its cultivated farm plots of wheat, potatoes, and other grains. From there, we continue westward through fir and pine forests until we reach Bagarchhap, where we will stay for the night. All meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—are included.

Pisang marks the starting point for our trek into the upper Manang area. Today’s trail leads us to Braga, a Tibetan village famous for its unique stacked house architecture. One of the main attractions in Manang is its Gompa, the largest monastery in the region. Manang is also a popular resting point for trekkers who use it to acclimatize before ascending to higher altitudes. The combination of Tibetan culture, unique architecture, and serene ambiance makes this leg of the journey both culturally enriching and essential for acclimatization.
Trek Distance: 15.5km / 9.6miles
Highest Altitude: (2,610m/8,890ft)/(3540 m/11,300ft)
Trek Duration: 6 hours
On our sixth day, we will trek along the upper trails through Upper Pisang, passing Geru, where we can enjoy spectacular views of the north faces of Annapurna II, III, IV, Gangapurna, Tilicho, and Pisang Peak. As we ascend, you’ll notice the air growing colder, drier, and more harsh. This route takes us through Tibetan settlements, providing an opportunity to explore Buddhist culture. We will also visit Barge Monastery, the largest monastery in Manang. Along the path, we’ll encounter Buddhist shrines as we pass additional monasteries, eventually reaching the Manang Bazaar, an area that caters to tourists. The town of Pisang marks the starting point of our trek in the upper Manang region. Today, we head to Braga, a Tibetan village known for its unique architecture, with houses built one on top of the other. One of its main attractions is its Gompa, the largest in the Manang region. Manang is popular among trekkers and serves as an acclimatization point before continuing to higher altitudes. We will spend the night here. (Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included.)
On the next day, departing from Manang, our trek will take 4 to 5 hours, leading us to Bangsar Village at an altitude of 3,756 meters. The trail ascends towards Siri Kharka, passing through a small religious village along the way.

In the afternoon, we may visit the Himalayan Rescue Association in Vraja village, where we’ll learn about acute mountain sickness, its symptoms, and methods for prevention.
Medical professionals recommend that trekkers spend time acclimatizing before ascending to higher elevations, and they also advise staying active.

Along the way, we will pass through several pastures and juniper forests. As the trek continues, we will pass through a small village called Gunsan, known for its flat mud roofs, and witness yak and horse pastures. After crossing a small river on a wooden bridge, we will reach the peaceful meadow of Yak Kharka. A little further ahead is the Ledar hamlet.
Today, we embark on a 10.4 km uphill trek to Yak Kharka, passing through juniper forests where we may see yaks grazing in the pastures. Along the route, we will pass the only teahouse at Thorong Khola. Depending on the conditions, we may decide to continue a little further and stay the night at Ledar. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included.
Trek to Tilicho Lake and Return to Sri Kharka
Today’s trek takes us higher as we ascend toward Tilicho Lake, a journey lasting around 5 to 6 hours. Tilicho Lake is situated at the base of Tilicho Peak (7,134 m). Along the trail, we may encounter yaks and deer peacefully grazing amidst the breathtaking landscapes. The changing light throughout the day causes the color of the lake to transition through various shades of blue.
Upon reaching Tilicho Lake, take time to admire the serene beauty of the area, soak in the surrounding peaks, and capture memorable photos of this stunning location. Afterward, we will make our way back to Sri Kharka.
Tilicho Lake covers an area of 4.8 sq km, and our guesthouse accommodation awaits us in Sri Kharka for a comfortable overnight stay. All meals, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner, are included, ensuring a satisfying end to this day of exploration and natural beauty.

Trek Duration: 4 to 5 hours
Trek to Thorong High Camp
Today, we head towards Thorong High Camp. From Ledar, we will climb up to a ridge, then descend and cross the Marsyangdi River on a wooden bridge. After ascending further, we will follow a narrow trail across a slope before descending to Thorong Phedi. The rugged, uninhabited terrain here feels otherworldly, vastly different from the lush lowlands we passed during the initial phase of the trek.
From Thorong Phedi, we will continue ascending until we reach Thorong High Camp. Along the way, we may encounter yak herds and blue sheep. As we climb higher, we gradually acclimatize to the altitude. We will follow the east bank of the Jarang Khola, passing steep bluffs along the trail before reaching Thorong Phedi (meaning “foothills”).
If we’re lucky, we may spot the famous blue sheep or even a snow leopard! This region is also home to the Lammergeyer (bearded vulture), and there is a local belief that mythical griffons inhabit the area.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included.
Trek Distance: 7.3km /4.53 m
Highest Altitude: (4,925m/16,158 ft)/(4040m/4,560m)
Trek Duration: 4 to 5 hours
This day will be remarkable as we trek from Thorong Phedi (4,525 m / 14,845 ft) to Muktinath Temple (3,760 m / 12,623 ft) via Thorong La High Pass (5,416 m / 17,756 ft). It is also one of the most challenging parts of the trek, as Thorong La Pass is one of the highest passes in the world and the highest point of our journey.
We begin early in the morning and push ourselves through the icy air and high altitude, but the views from the pass are absolutely worth the effort. To the north, towards Tibet, we will see a panoramic view of the majestic Himalayan peaks. Looking back, the Annapurna range will unfold before us.
Afterward, we descend to Muktinath—a sacred site for both Hindus and Buddhists. In Buddhism, Muktinath is called Chumig Gyatsa, which means “Hundred Waters” in Tibetan. The Muktinath Temple is famous for its 108 stone sprouts, from which water flows from the Kaligandaki River. You can also witness the eternal flame that has been burning for more than 2,000 years.
Today is likely the toughest day of the trek, with about 7-8 hours of hiking. The higher altitude increases the difficulty, and strong winds are common in the upper regions. Along the way, we may encounter sheep, yaks, and merchants transporting goods. Upon reaching Thorong La Pass, we will be rewarded with breathtaking views of Annapurna, Gangapurna, and the striking peak of Khatungkang (6,484 m). After leaving the pass, we descend about 1,600 meters, with the magnificent Dhaulagiri (Dhaulagiri, meaning “White Mountain”) visible—this is the highest mountain entirely within Nepal. The trail becomes more undulating and relatively easier before we reach Muktinath, where we will stay the night. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included.
Optional Trek Extension:
If you wish to extend your journey, from Thorong Phedi, you can trek an additional hour to High Camp (4,800 m). Climbing higher, we gradually acclimate to the increased altitude. The trail follows the east bank of the Jarang Khola and offers views of steep bluffs before leading us to Thorong Phedi, meaning “foothills.” If we’re fortunate, we may spot the famous blue sheep or even a snow leopard, as this area is their habitat. Thorong Phedi is also home to the Lammergeyer (bearded vulture), and it is believed that mythical griffons reside in the region.
Trek Distance: 15.6km / 9.6m
Highest Altitude: (5,416m /17,756ft)/(3,802m/5,416m)
Trek Duration: 4 to 5 hours
Trek and Drive to Tatopani
In the morning, we will visit the Muktinath Temple before continuing our journey with a local bus ride to Tatopani. The drive will be rough, as it passes through some of the deepest gorges in the world. We will travel from the arid highlands to lush green forests. Tatopani is famous for its natural hot springs, offering a chance to immerse ourselves in the healing waters, which are said to have curative properties for skin diseases.
From Muktinath, we will pass through lush meadows, fruit trees, and streams, eventually reaching Kagbeni before arriving in Jomsom, located in the Kali Gandaki Valley. Kagbeni is renowned for its horticulture industry. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included.
Challenging Day of Trekking
Today is likely to be one of the most challenging days of the trek, involving approximately 7-8 hours of hiking. The higher altitude will increase the difficulty, and the upper regions may experience strong winds. Along the trail, we may encounter sheep, yaks, and merchants transporting goods.
Upon reaching Thorong La Pass, we will be rewarded with breathtaking views of Annapurna, Gangapurna, and the striking peak of Khatungkang (6,484 m).
After leaving the pass, we will descend around 1,600 meters, with the magnificent Dhaulagiri (meaning “White Mountain”) becoming a prominent feature. Dhaulagiri is the highest mountain entirely in Nepal. The trail then becomes more undulating and relatively easier before we reach Muktinath, where we will stay the night after a 10-hour trek. All meals, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner, are included to refuel us after this strenuous and rewarding day.
Trek Distance: 113km / 70miles
Highest Altitude: (3,760m / 12,623ft)/(5,416m/3,802m)
Trek Duration: 6 to 7 hours
As we begin our return journey, the path descends alongside the Dudh Koshi River. You’ll cross several suspension bridges along the way. After trekking through lush forests and passing small villages, you’ll arrive at Phakding, just beyond Benkar.
We leave the hot springs behind and cross to the east side of the Kali Gandaki River, ascending to Ghorepani through the ethnic Thakali villages of Sikha and Chitre. Our trek takes us through terraced farmlands with mountains surrounding us, passing through lush forests filled with rhododendron, birch, and magnolia. We will stop at Ghorepani, a beautiful village located at the top of a ridge, where we will spend the night.
7-8 Hour Road Trip
Today, we embark on a 7-8 hour road trip from Jomsom to Pokhara, passing through Tatopani (with time to enjoy the hot springs) and Beni Bazaar before reaching our final destination, Pokhara. Upon arrival in Pokhara and after checking into your lakeside hotel, you will have some free time to explore. You can take a boat trip on Phewa Tal (Lake), stroll along the lakeside, browse the shops, or enjoy a few drinks at one of the many bars while watching the sunset over the distant mountains. Breakfast and lunch are included.
Annapurna Circuit Drive
During the Annapurna Circuit trek, adventurers will experience a scenic drive to Tatopani, a peaceful haven famous for its natural hot springs. The journey covers approximately 50 kilometers and takes 5 to 6 hours.
Along the route, trekkers are treated to breathtaking views of towering snow-capped peaks, lush valleys, and picturesque villages, offering a glimpse into authentic Nepali culture. A major highlight of the drive is the dramatic transition in landscapes, descending from higher altitudes to lower elevations.
The ultimate reward for the day awaits in Tatopani, where trekkers can relax and rejuvenate in the natural hot springs after a challenging trek. These hot springs are believed to have therapeutic and healing properties, providing a well-deserved respite for tired muscles.

Following breakfast, we trek to Birethanti and then take a bus to Pokhara.
Final Day’s Journey

This trek can be challenging, with daily walks of 6-7 hours. Previous experience in hiking or trekking is recommended; however, if you have engaged in any trekking activities, it will certainly be beneficial! We have encountered people from all walks of life, with varying shapes and sizes, who have successfully completed the trek. The most difficult aspect is when altitude sickness occurs and the impact it can have on your body. Before departing for Nepal, it’s a good idea to prepare physically by increasing your stamina and oxygen intake.
