Annapurna Circuit Trek

The Annapurna circuit is considered to be the best trek in Nepal, surpassing the Everest trek in terms of scenic and cultural diversity, and it is the country’s most popular trek offering a cross section of Nepal topography. The circuit is best done anti-clockwise so as to be in a good position for the crossing of the Thorung La Pass (5410m). For those who want something more than normal trekking, this program offers excitement and challenges in equal measures. It would be hard to equal the contrasts as we ascend from sub tropical to an semi –arid akin to Tibet and follow the trails through Hindu settlements to the high Buddhist villages not far from the borderlands of Tibet. Combine this with remarkable mountain views and the exhilaration of crossing Throng la. Our program for Annapurna Circuit goes anti-clock wise & incompletes the circuits by fly out of Jomsom – taking in the major highlights of the entire trips.

Loben Expeditions trips are designed for flexible, energetic people who like to be active and have a spirit of adventure and a positive attitude. We rate this trip as a “Challenging.” You should be an experienced hiker in good physical condition. Most days are spent at altitudes above 3000 m, and our hikes will be between five and six hours each day, broken up by a nice rest and a hot lunch. Porters or pack animals carry most of the gear and camp supplies, leaving you free to hike with only a light day pack. You need to be in excellent health and top physical condition to enjoy such an experience, with adequate cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, and excellent balance. No technical climbing or other special abilities are required.
