Annapurna Circuit Trek fly out Jomsom

Print

The Annapurna region is one of the most famous trekking routes in Nepal. This Annapurna Circuit  trek starts from Chamje in the foothills of the Annapurna.

En route we make our way through the woods, several small villages and a few temples and also cross a few suspension bridges. We also enjoy views of Lamjung Himal, Annapurna II, and Annapurna IV (7,525m/24,688ft). The trek is moderately difficult with ups and downs on rugged trail. You will notice the scenery and culture dramatically change from subtropical forests, paddy fields, and the world’s deepest river gorge to ice flows, a high mountain pass, arid cliffs, and mountain views.

The trek takes you through Tibetan-like Buddhist villages, and woodlands, through the Marshyangdi Valley. Further, it also offers spectacular views of Annapurna Massif, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, and Tilicho Peak. The trail also takes you to Mustang and the Hindu pilgrimage town of Muktinath.
