The Annapurna Circuit Trekking adventure lets you encircle the popular Annapurna region in northwestern Nepal. Often Annapurna Circuit Trekking is referred to as one of the most diverse trekking opportunities in Nepal, offering to have it all that anyone had ever wished for. Annapurna Circuit Trekking in Nepal around picturesque Himalayas, raging rivers, deepest gorges, natural hot springs, and pilgrimage sites, along with insightful interaction with local inhabitants, makes this trip an extra special trekking journey in Nepal.

Our Annapurna circuit trekking initiates as you arrive at Tribhuwan International Airport, followed by scenic cultural sightseeing around the culturally affluent capital city of Kathmandu. The Annapurna Circuit trekking journey begins at Besisahar as we follow our trails through the raging Marshyangdi River valley. Witnessing nature at its best, from refreshing forest walks to the deepest gorges of Kaligandaki to scenic landscapes along with cultural insights, we head further towards the challenging Thorung La Pass at a high altitude of 5416 meters above sea level and finally arrive at the famous pilgrimage site of Muktinath. Along the way, we will be embracing plenty of blessings from Muktinath, followed by a visit to the natural hot spring at Tatopani for a warm, refreshing dip. During the final days of our Annapurna circuit trekking, a short hike up to Poon Hill viewpoint in the early morning lets us witness the magical panoramic views of the Annapurna Himalayas, namely the Annapurna Himalayan ranges, Mt. Dhaulagiri,Machhapuchhre, and surrounding peaks. Drive back to the scenic lake city of Pokhara, which announces the end to our 14 days of Annapurna Circuit trekking adventure.

                                    Annapurna circuit

                                    We did Annapurna circuit for 10 days. Gokul the owner of Outshine Tours managed to arrange this in last minute as we originally booked Everest Base Camp but flights was cancelled twice due to bad weather. He went above and beyond to make our trekking the most memorable one. The views of this trekking was amazing, every place you pass takes your breath away, our Tea houses are beautiful with our own private toilet. We thank Outshine Tours for this incredible adventure and highly recommended.
