Cross the impressive Thorong La, 5,416 meters / 17,769 ft, and circle the Annapurna massif

The Annapurna Circuit trek leads around the Annapurna massif following a counterclockwise direction up along Marsyangdi River Valley to remote Himalaya rain-shadow region of Manang. From here the trail crosses the impressive Thorung La, the most difficult part of the trek.  From Manang it's steeply up to the crest of Thorung La at 16,050 feet/4,892m, then down to Muktinath and on downstream along the Kali Gandaki River Valley, a pleasant trek in between the towering giants of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. The entire Annapurna circuit adds up to over 150 miles / 240 km, but the rewards of stunning panoramas certainly compensate the effort.

*Depending on your total available time to spend in Nepal,  we can customize the trek to end on Day 14 at Jomsom, and from there you can fly to Pokhara. You can spend a day and night in Pokhara or drive to Kathmandu the same day, alternatively fly or drive to Kathmandu the next morning.

 

**Most days you trek average of at most six hours, with ample time for meals and enjoyment of the scenery. Day 12, crossing Thorong La to Muktinath, requires eight hours of trekking. Other than that there is only one other longer day, Day 17, trekking from the bottom of Kali Gandaki river valley at Tatopani uphill to Ghorepani, which most trekkers may need as much as seven hours to complete.
