Overview


The Annapurna Circuit trek is one of the most beautiful treks in the world. We get to see three 8,000m peaks, Annapurna (one of the most dangerous mountains in the world), Dhualagiri, and Manaslu. Trek to the spectacular Tilicho Lake before you spend some days crossing over Thorong La Pass.  Relax in the natural springs in Tatopani before enjoying spending some time by the beautiful lakeside town of Pokhara. The trip will take you across traditional sherpas villages, a buddhist monastery and suspended bridges. So many things to discover and explore on this trek
