Enjoy the panoramic view of Annapurna – I (8,091m), Dhaulagiri (8,167) massifs, Machhapuchre (Fishtail: 6993m) and Hiunchuli (6441m) and small graceful peaks from the top of Poon Hill. Not only imagine, experience in your real life – a lifetime memory.
The Annapurna Circuit is the classic trek in the Annapurna region. The trek encircles the famous Annapurna massif passing through sub-tropical plains in the Himalayan foothills, trans-Himalayan Manang and then the dry, rain shadow region of Mustang. The highest elevation is reached at Thorung La Pass (5,416m) before the trail follows the Kali Gandaki River that flows through the deepest gorge on earth between two giant peaks.
What are THERE exactly?
During Annapurna Region Trek, you can enjoy the speechless spectacular views of Annapurna Peak & Dhaulagiri Summit. The beauty of snow-capped mountains in the surroundings makes you feel more excited and lucky in the journey. Do not miss the spectacular view of Dhaulagiri (8,167m) summit on the southern horizon. When you reach Annapurna Base Camp, you will see the skyline dominated by the Annapurna and Manaslu ranges. The places Ranipauwa, Kagbeni, Jomsom, Muktinath, Upper Mustang, Manang and Marpha are also popular points in your journey.
