Why travellers love it

Overview

The Annapurna Circuit Trek is a renowned trail famous for its breathtaking landscapes and waterfalls. It offers stunning views of Annapurna I, II, III, and IV, as well as the towering Dhaulagiri at 8,167 meters and the Machhapuchhre, along with numerous other peaks over 6,000 meters. 

Trekkers have the opportunity to experience the rich culture and lifestyle of the locals in two distinct districts: Manang and Mustang. The trek includes a variety of experiences, such as passing through Tibetan and Gurung settlements, exploring apple farms, marveling at magnificent waterfalls, and navigating rugged single tracks across a dry pilgrimage land via Thorung La. 

Each day on the trail brings new surprises, ensuring that trekkers remain engaged and their spirits lifted. The Annapurna Circuit is perfect for those seeking a blend of adventure and cultural exploration.

The Annapurna Circuit Trek with Tilicho Lake and Ghorepani Poon Hill is a highimpact, fullspectrum Himalayan experience. This extended route combines the raw altitude and adventure of the classic Annapurna Circuit with two major highlights: Tilicho Lake—the world’s highest lake at 4,919 meters—and the iconic sunrise viewpoint at Poon Hill.

The trek circles the Annapurna Massif, crossing the Thorong La Pass (5,416m), while winding through a staggering range of landscapes—from subtropical forests and terraced fields to alpine valleys and highaltitude deserts. Along the way, you’ll pass through diverse cultural zones, including Gurung, Manangi, and Thakali villages, each with their own architecture, customs, and food.

Tilicho Lake offers a rugged side trip that adds isolation, challenge, and jawdropping alpine scenery. Ghorepani and Poon Hill round out the trek with panoramic sunrise views of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, and Machhapuchhre—one of the most photogenic spots in Nepal.

This trek is demanding but deeply rewarding, offering both altitude and immersion. It’s perfect for trekkers who want to push further and see more.
