Annapurna Treks

"Off-the-beaten-trail" camping and popular lodge treks from six to 24 days

The Annapurna region is inhabited by a multitude of ethnic groupsNepal's favorite
trekking destination

Spectacular mountain scenery, a mosaic of friendly ethnic peoples, and striking geographic diversity make the Annapurna region the most popular trekking destination in Nepal. Bordered by the Tibetan plateau to the north, the Marsyangdi valley to the east, and the Kali Gandaki gorge to the west, this region in Central Nepal offers trekkers a remarkable transition through diverse ecological zones. Starting from the sub-tropical valley of Pokhara, treks here pass through terraced hillsides, proceed through rain-, deciduous and coniferous forests, and reach arid, desert-like trans-Himalayan country, all in as little as a week. The topographical diversity also ensures a wide range of treks of varying difficulty, from easy foothill hikes to challenging high-altitude treks & climbing expeditions.
