Full Annapurna Circuit Trek in the Annapurna region in Nepal is one of the longest and the most diverse treks in the world. The trek starts in Chame after a scenic 2 days drive from Kathmandu. From Chame, the journey around the Annapurna massif, all the way down to Ghandruk is on foot. The trail takes trekkers through Pisang, Ngawal, Manang, Ledar, High Camp, Thorung La Pass, Muktinath, Lubra, Tatopani, Ghorepani, and Tadapani, before ending the trek in Ghandruk. The next destination from Ghandruk is Pokhara, which makes a perfect place to relax after a long trek, before heading back to Kathmandu to end the 19 days Long Annapurna Circuit Trek the following day.
This 19 days Annapurna Circuit Trekking starts with a very informative tour of the historical and religious sites of the Kathmandu Valley. The trekking part, however, combining both nature and culture, gives a very diverse experience to the trekkers. From the diversity in the landscape (plains, hills, mountains and plateaus), to the variety in other features (waterfalls, lakes, forests, natural vegetations and streams) that highly decorate the landscape, to the heterogeneity in religion, culture and tradition, trekkers can experience the best of everything in one go. The mountain vistas that include Dhaulagiri and Annapurna (2 of the top 10 highest mountains in the world) from different sections (especially Poon Hill) of the trail are the most alluring aspect of this round Annapurna trek. For those on a mission to conquer height, this trek presents the perfect opportunity to walk through one of the highest navigable passes (Thorung La Pass -5,416m) in the world. The monasteries and temples (including Muktinath- holy site for both Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims) add religious touch to the trail. A drive through the deepest gorge (the Kali Gandaki Gorge) is another charm of this trek. Moreover, one of the best parts of this Annapurna Circuit trekking itinerary is also the end, where trekkers get to relax in a very beautiful lake city, Pokhara.
