Visit Nepal – The Asian Diamond and Birthplace of Lord Buddha

Welcome to Nepal—a land of towering mountains, spiritual serenity, and timeless traditions. Known as the Asian Diamond and the sacred birthplace of Lord Buddha, Nepal is now safe and ready to welcome travelers once again.

One of the best ways to experience Nepal’s unparalleled beauty is by embarking on the Annapurna Circuit Trek, one of the most iconic and rewarding trekking routes in the Himalayas.

Nature & Culture in Harmony

The Annapurna Circuit isn’t just a trek—it’s a journey through diverse landscapes, rich ecosystems, and centuries-old cultures. This route gives you the rare opportunity to witness the deep connection between nature and culture that defines life in the Himalayas.

From lush subtropical forests to arid high-altitude deserts, and from snow-capped peaks to sacred temples, every step of the journey offers something new.

Along the way, youll visit:

Manang and Jomsom – high-altitude villages with Tibetan influence

Muktinath Temple – a sacred pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists

Ghorepani and Poon Hill – home to traditional Magar and Gurung communities and famous for rhododendron forests and panoramic Himalayan views

You’ll also pass through the Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal’s largest protected region, which safeguards a stunning variety of flora and fauna, including rare orchids, blue sheep, Himalayan tahrs, and over 100 species of birds.

Scenic Adventure at Its Best

The trek’s biggest physical challenge is crossing Thorong La Pass (5,416m)—the highest point of the circuit—but the reward is unmatched: sweeping mountain views, spiritual satisfaction, and a sense of achievement. You’ll also visit Tilicho Lake (4,990m), one of the world’s highest lakes, nestled among breathtaking alpine terrain.

Local Flavors & Cultural Hospitality

Throughout your journey, you’ll be welcomed into warm mountain teahouses, often run by local families. Taste traditional Nepali dishes, learn about local customs, and don’t forget to try the region’s legendary apple pie—a beloved treat made fresh at high altitudes!

Ideal for Monsoon Season

The Annapurna Circuit is one of the best treks during the monsoon, thanks to its location in the rain shadow of the Himalayas. This means drier weather and clearer skies, especially in the Mustang and Manang regions.

Trek Begins from Dharapani and Ends in Pokhara

Your adventure starts and concludes in Pokhara, a vibrant lakeside city surrounded by scenic hills and peaceful waters—an ideal place to relax before and after your trek.

Join us for the Annapurna Circuit Trek—a perfect blend of adventure, nature, and culture. Experience the Himalayas in all their glory and take home memories that will last a lifetime.
