The Annapurna Circuit is one of Nepal's original long-distance treks and still one of its most complete — you start in a subtropical river valley, climb through pine forest and high alpine terrain, cross a 5,416 m pass, and descend into the high-desert landscape of Mustang, all in a single trip. Along the way you pass through Gurung, Manangi, and Thakali villages, each with a distinct culture and cuisine.
It's nicknamed the "Apple Pie Trek" — a name that stuck because nearly every teahouse along the route serves fresh apple pie, a small but telling sign of how well-developed the infrastructure is here compared to more remote Himalayan routes. Topographically demanding, but comfortable in terms of food, lodging, and trail infrastructure.
This trek can also be extended into the Annapurna Base Camp Trek via Ghorepani Poon Hill, or combined with a side trip to Tilicho Lake (4,919 m), one of the highest lakes in the world, for trekkers who want an extra high-altitude highlight — ask us about adding this when you book.
The Annapurna Circuit Trek with Himalaya Heart Treks costs $1,265 per person for the standard 14-day guided package, which includes all meals, teahouse and hotel accommodation, permits, a licensed guide, and porter support. Independent, unguided trekking can be cheaper (roughly $25–$40/day in food and lodging alone) but excludes safety support, permit arrangement, and porter service.
What drives the price:
| Factor | Effect on Price |
|---|---|
| Group size | Larger groups reduce per-person cost — ask about group rates |
| Season | Peak season (Oct–Nov, Mar–Apr) departures fill fastest; shoulder-season dates sometimes have flexibility |
| Porter service | Included in this package (1 porter per 2 trekkers) — a major cost saver vs. arranging independently |
| Private vs. fixed departure | Fixed group departures (below) are more economical than a fully private, custom-date trek |
Tipping guidance (not included in the price, but customary): guides and porters are typically tipped as a group at the end of the trek — budgeting roughly 10% of your total trip cost for tips is a reasonable guideline.
The Annapurna Circuit is rated difficult, primarily because of the Thorong La Pass crossing at 5,416 m — the trek's technical and physical high point. Most days involve 5–7 hours of walking; the pass-crossing day runs 8–9 hours. No technical climbing or mountaineering skill is required, but sustained high-altitude walking, cold temperatures, and thin air make fitness and preparation important.
Training recommendation: start preparing 3–4 months out with regular cardio (3–4 sessions/week) plus hill walking, stair climbing, or stepped hikes with a loaded pack to simulate trail conditions. Two built-in acclimatization considerations — the Manang rest day and the shorter days approaching the pass — are designed to reduce altitude sickness risk, but they work best when paired with genuine pre-trip fitness.
Who this trek suits: trekkers with moderate-to-good fitness and some multi-day hiking experience. Prior high-altitude experience helps but isn't required — many first-time Himalayan trekkers complete this route successfully with a guide.
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are the best seasons for the Annapurna Circuit Trek, offering the clearest skies and most stable weather for crossing Thorong La Pass safely.
| Season | Months | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Spring | March–May | Mild days (up to ~25°C/77°F lower elevations), cold nights, rhododendrons blooming in lower forest sections |
| Monsoon | June–August | Wet at lower elevations, reduced visibility, fewer crowds — not generally recommended |
| Autumn | Sept–Nov | Clearest mountain views of the year, moderate crowds, daytime temps ~20°C/68°F, well below freezing at night above 4,000m |
| Winter | Dec–Feb | Cold (nighttime lows well below freezing above 2,500m), fewer trekkers, Thorong La may be snow-affected — possible but requires extra preparation |
Above 2,500 m, expect nighttime temperatures well below freezing even in the best seasons — a good sleeping bag and layered clothing matter more than the season you pick.
Day 1: Arrival in Kathmandu (1,350 m) Airport pickup, hotel transfer, and a trip briefing. Rest of the day free.
Day 2: Kathmandu Heritage Sightseeing (1,350 m) A full day covering Kathmandu's UNESCO World Heritage sites: Swayambhunath, Pashupatinath, Kathmandu Durbar Square, and Boudhanath at sunset.
Day 3: Drive to Jagat (1,960 m) A scenic overland journey by local bus to Besisahar, then 4×4 jeep into the Marsyangdi River Valley, with Himalchuli and Ngadi Chuli (7,871 m) visible en route. This is the start of the trek proper.
Day 4: Trek to Dharapani (1,860 m) Roughly 5–6 hours following the Marsyangdi River past waterfalls and through the first village of the Manang district, Tal — the landscape shifts from lush lowland forest to a more rugged, high-valley character.
Day 5: Trek to Chame (2,650 m) Climbing through pine and fir forest via Timang (2,360 m), with the first clear views of Annapurna II (7,937 m). Chame is the administrative center of Manang district.
Day 6: Trek to Pisang (3,250 m) The valley narrows dramatically as the trail is cut into the rock face beneath Paungda Danda, a striking 1,500 m rock wall.
Day 7: Trek to Manang (3,519 m) Two route options — a gentler southern route and a more demanding northern ridge route — both converging near Braga's monastery. A key cultural transition point into Tibetan-influenced Manang district.
Day 8: Acclimatization Day in Manang (3,519 m) Optional day hikes: a shorter climb to the monastery above Manang for Annapurna range views, or a more demanding 5–6 hour round trip to Ice Lake (4,500 m).
Day 9: Trek to Yak Kharka (4,035 m) A shorter day by design, following the Jarsang Khola above the treeline into yak grazing country — a deliberate pace to support acclimatization.
Day 10: Trek to Thorong Phedi (4,540 m) Another intentionally short day, positioning you at the literal "foot of the pass" (Phedi) for the following day's crossing.
Day 11: Cross Thorong La Pass (5,416 m) to Muktinath (3,710 m) The trek's high point — a steep early-morning ascent to the pass, followed by a long descent into Mustang. Muktinath is a major pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists, with views of Dhaulagiri (8,167 m).
Day 12: Drive to Pokhara (900 m) A shared-bus journey through the diverse Annapurna region landscape, from high desert back down to lakeside Pokhara.
Day 13: Drive to Kathmandu (1,350 m) Return drive, with an optional flight upgrade available at extra cost.
Day 14: Departure Airport transfer as per your onward flight schedule.
The Annapurna Circuit covers approximately 160–200 km depending on the exact route and any side trips taken, making it one of the longer classic treks in Nepal. Road construction in recent years has shortened some sections of the historic route, so exact distance varies by operator and starting point — this itinerary begins trekking from Jagat rather than driving further up the valley, giving a fuller walking experience of the lower Marsyangdi valley.
Trekkers wanting an additional high-altitude highlight can extend the standard itinerary to include Tilicho Lake (4,919 m), one of the highest lakes in the world, reached via a side trip from the Manang area. This adds 2–3 days to the standard itinerary. Ask us when booking if you'd like this built into your departure.
Clothing: broken-in trekking boots, warm and lightweight socks, layered thermal wear, fleece and down jacket, sun hat, warm hat, gloves, evening sandals
Daily essentials: toiletries, basic medical kit, sunglasses, high-SPF sunscreen, small towel, cold-rated sleeping bag (temperatures drop well below freezing above 2,500 m)
Tools: headtorch, trekking poles, backpack with rain cover, reusable water bottles, water purification tablets
Sleeping bags and down jackets can be rented in Kathmandu if you'd rather not fly with your own — ask us for current rental rates.
A Himalaya Heart Treks & Expedition Pvt.Ltd representative will welcome you at the airport and take you to your hotel where we will go over the trip in more detail and answer any questions you may have.The rest of the day is free.
Today we spend time getting more aquianted with our surroundings with a full day sightseeing around the Kathmandu Valley touring its premium destinations that have managed to find a place in the UNESCO world’s heritage list. We begin with Swayambhunath climbing its stairs which are said to encompass the 13 paths to reach enlightenment. The Hindu heritage of Pashupatinath is next on our list resonating in the prayers of thousands who visit the temple each day. We head towards Kathmandu Durbar square to witness a historical journey encompassing generations of Nepalese Kings before ending our journey at Boudhanath well known for its sunset views. Overnight Hotel.
Today we leave Kathmandu’s frenetic streets by local bus to Besishahar and we take sharing jeep 4×4 jeep/s to the starting point of the trek. It’s a beautiful drive terraced hills.fast flowing rivers and distant mountain views. Jagat is nestled between the high peaks of the Annapurna’s and Mt. Manaslu – the world’s 8th highest peak. The track leading up to Jagat heads up through the Marsyangdi River Valley with Himalchuli and Ngadi Chuli (Peak 29 – 7871m) looming over the horizon. Fresh air, nice breezes. lush rice paddies and peaceful villages along the way before reaching our guesthouse in Jagat. This is the start of the Annapurna Circuit, and the beginning of our trek.
We follow a rocky trail following the Marsyangdi River, passing by some magnificent cascading waterfalls as we go. The area is lush green with plenty of wildlife many troops of monkeys. The trail winds progressively uphill to the village of Tal which is the first village in the Manang District. From Tal the scenery starts to change dramatically from the lush beginnings of the trek more jagged and barren. We continue along an impressive, wide valley upwards along stone staircases until we reach the village of Dharapani. Overnight Guest House
We continue up the Marsyangdi River, climbing towards the settlement of Timang at 2360m,then continue to ascend through scented pine and fir forest. As the trail ascends through the forest there are incredible views over the valley and of Annapurna II (7937m). Settling in now and really beginning to feel of being in the high mountains of the Himalaya. Onwards and upwards to finally reach Chame – the administrative center of the Manang District.From here there are some outstanding views of Mt. Manaslu (8156m) and Peak 29 (7871m). Overnight Guest House
We exit the village past a long a stone prayer wall and a large prayer wheel heading into deep pine forest. The Marsyangdi Valley narrows as we go and becomes at one with the trail carved right into the vertical rock face. This is incredible,as we pass this point the valley opens up to reveal a majestic mountain vista, where the Paungda Danda rock face towers over 1500m above the trailhead. Local people believe that atop Paungda Danda is the Gateway to Heaven. This impressive view follows us as all the way as we ascend to Pisang. We are suddenly in a very different area with very different people an amazing day. Overnight Guest House
This is a truly Tibetan like and an intensely Buddhist area. We continue up the upper part of the Manang Valley. People in this region are hardened and weathered by their harsh existence, very strong examples of what life is possible of. Leaving Pisang, there are two options that follow the Marsyangdi River both of which meet up again in the village of Mungji and Braga where there is a beautiful monastery – we can take either the southern route or the northern route.
The southern route involves a gentle climb that follows alongside the river. The northern route is more demanding, as we need to climb up the north ridge of the valley. The views along the upper northern route of the Annapurna’s are sensational! Overnight Guest House
Today is a rest day of sorts!! we need it for acclimatization to enable our bodies to get used to the altitude to come. There are a number of day hikes available that offer amazing views, One Possibility is a hike up the hill (400m ascent) behind Manang to visit the monastery. From here there are magnificent panoramic views of the entire Annapurna range and the enormous ice fall crashing down from Gangapurna.
Another option is to take a fairly challenging hike to Ice Lake (4500m), which takes about 5-6 hours up and back. Any aching muscles are rewarded with some stunning views of the region.The evening presents the perfect end to the day, just sit back and watch as the sun sets over the Himalayas. Overnight Guest House.
Leaving Manang in the early morning we head towards the base of the Thorung La. Climbing out of the Marsyangdi Valley, We follow the Jarsang Khola. Here we are way above the pine and fir forests below in semi moraine and certainly truly immersed in the beauty of the high Himalaya. It is a shorter day, taking it slowly as we reach Yak Kharka (Yak Huts) – where yak herders bring their animals to graze. Overnight Guest House
Another shortish day to aid in acclimatization for the push to come. The scenery becomes wilder as we continue ascending the valley. The trail descends to cross the river, before an ascent up to Phedi at 4450m. Phedi in Nepali means foot of the pass it acts as a gateway for our journey tomorrow – the Thorung La. Overnight Guest House
We are up early to begin our ascent.To begin with it is very steep so it is slowly just one step at a time until we reach the Annapurna Circuit’s highest point, the Thorung La, at a literally breathtaking 5416m. The pass opens up to reveal an incredible, sweeping panorama of snow-capped peaks that extend towards Tibet and beyond. Looking back to where we have come offers some splendid views of the Annapurna’s. A steep descent follows directly in front of us is the impressive Kali Gandaki, Valley the deepest gorge in the world. The way down is long and again we need to take things slowly, following a series of switchbacks we eventually reach some grassy slopes. We pass some more sheep herder huts before after what has been a tough long but extremely satisfying day we reach the holy town of Muktinath ( 3800m). The temple at Muktinath is an extremely important pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists. It is surrounded by rugged mountain landscapes and with unparalleled views of Dhaulagiri (8167m), the world’s 7th highest mountain. Overnight Guest House
Embark on a breathtaking journey from the sacred heights of Muktinath at 3,710 meters to the tranquil lakeside city of Pokhara at 900 meters, traversing Nepal's diverse landscapes via a shared bus. As the bus winds its way through the majestic Annapurna region, passengers are treated to panoramic views of snow-capped peaks, lush valleys, and quaint mountain villages. Despite the rugged terrain and occasional bumps along the way, the camaraderie among fellow travelers and the anticipation of reaching Pokhara's serene shores make this shared bus adventure an unforgettable experience of discovery and connection with Nepal's natural beauty.
Drive back to Kathmandu and spend time at leisure. There is also the option to fly back to Kathmandu at an additional cost.

Amazing Trip to Nepal
Dec 2023 • Couples
Hari, a great guide and good friend after over 2 weeks on the trail, guided my girlfriend and I on an epic trip around Annapurna - first the typical 8 day circuit ending with the Throng La pass, then after a rest at Tatopani hot spring, 6 more hiking days from to Dhompas (including Poon Hill). It was incredible! We went in December so there were hardly any other hikers on the trail and we had the mountains all to ourselves. Of course the weather was cold, but not bad if you are used to that sort of thing. Hari is an excellent guide who will enrich your experience in the mountains. He helped us customize our itinerary with suggestions we would never have known about otherwise. He was our guide on the trail, waiter and concierge at the guesthouses, trip planner, and reliable friend. He even took special care to advise us on food safety and check conditions in the kitchens (only possible in the off season). He took care of all our needs and whims. Really above and beyond what we expected from a guide!! Fully recommend him and Himalaya Heart.

Unforgettable Annapurna Circuit Trek with Guide Hari
My Annapurna Circuit Trek with Himalaya Heart Treks was absolutely incredible, and the biggest reason for that was our guide, Hari. From the very first day, Hari made us feel safe, welcomed, and truly cared for. His warm-hearted nature, calm personality, and deep knowledge of the mountains turned this trek into an unforgettable life experience.
Hari knew every trail, every village, and every viewpoint along the Annapurna Circuit. He explained the culture, people, traditions, and mountains with such passion that the journey felt richer and more meaningful. He always checked our health, pace, and comfort—especially during high-altitude sections like Thorong La Pass. Thanks to Hari’s guidance and careful planning, we crossed the pass confidently and safely.
What makes Guide Hari truly special is his kindness. He always walked with a smile, encouraged us on tough climbs, arranged the best teahouses, and even made us laugh when we were tired. He treated us like family, not clients, and that made a huge difference.
If you are planning the Annapurna Circuit Trek, I strongly recommend choosing Himalaya Heart Treks and especially trekking with Hari as your guide. His professionalism, honesty, and genuine Nepali hospitality made this trip one of the best adventures of my life.

My trek on Annapurna with Bolram
I had a great trek on Annapurna with Bolram, my guide. From the beginning, the support from the staff at "Himaliaya Heart Treks" was great. I didn't have to worry about anything. Even suggestions and ideas were taken into account. Among other things, we skipped a stage at the end so that we had an extra day in Pokhara. I was a little skeptical about booking directly with an agency in Nepal instead of through a tour operator in Germany. But the support was professional in every respect and I felt well looked after in all matters.
Nepal is definitely worth a trip. The nature and the people there are simply incredible. I had a great trek and will definitely come back.
