What makes Annapurna Region, Nepal Trekking so special?
If you are thinking of going trekking in Nepal, especially for the first time, then you are most likely to head to the Everest region or the Annapurnas. But for sheer variety of trails, classic high mountain scenery and cultural interest, it’s hard to beat trekking in the Annapurnas for that quintessential Himalayan trekking experience.
One of the great attractions of the region is that treks in the Annapurnas appeal to all levels of experience and ability. You don’t need to go particularly high or be a ‘hard core’ trekker to enjoy the stunning mountain scenery that the Annapurnas has in abundance. You can start with a relatively easy-paced trek in the beautiful lower reaches of the Annapurna foothills, trekking between high quality lodges set against a backdrop of stunning mountain views. Venture a little further and higher and you can trek into the heart of the Annapurna Sanctuary. This classic tea house trek in the Annapurnas is relatively low altitude by Himalayan standards and takes you to a vast amphitheatre of some of the world’s highest mountains as well as to the Annapurna Base Camp where you may meet climbers preparing to scale the giant peak.
For the more experienced trekker prepared for a tougher challenge, the Annapurna Circuit remains one of the great treks of Nepal. Circumnavigating the Annapurna Massif takes almost three weeks and follows trails through a diversity of landscapes from verdant, terraced foothills, to dramatic high passes (you cross the Thorong La at 5,416m) and into the world’s deepest gorge – the Kali Gandaki. For those with less time available our Mini Annapurna Circuit Trek is a week shorter but still offers many of the highlights of the full circuit.
If you are seeking more remote trekking in the Annapurnas you can get off-the-beaten-track by taking the trail through the remote valleys and villages of Naar and Phu. A spectacular trek in the Annapurna mountains that few others will have completed.
Whichever of our holidays in the Annapurnas you choose you can always be assured of a warm welcome from the wonderful people of the region, particularly the Gurkhas who call the Annapurna mountains home.
Whether you are considering your first trek in Nepal or you are returning to the Himalaya, take a look at our range of Annapurna treks as there will undoubtedly be one that’s just perfect for you.
