Overview

The Annapurna Circuit Trek is one of Nepal’s greatest trekking experiences — a breathtaking journey that circles the entire Annapurna massif and crosses the world-famous Thorong-La Pass (5,416 m).
From green subtropical valleys to the dry highlands of Mustang, this trek offers unmatched Himalayan diversity, cultural richness, and spiritual serenity.

Along the way, you’ll meet warm-hearted Gurung, Thakali, and Manangi people, walk through ancient villages, and witness panoramic views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Manaslu ranges.
At Safe Himalayan Travel and Adventure, your safety, comfort, and authentic experience are our top priorities.
