What is and where is the Annapurna
Circuit Trek?
Annapurna circuit trek was once
considered one of the best treks in the
world though road construction is
threatening its reputation and its
future as a classic trek. Yet no one
disputes that the scenery is
outstanding: 17 to 21 days long, this
trek takes you through distinct regional
scenery of rivers, flora, fauna and
above all - mountains.
There are four regions that are passed
through on the trek; Lamjung, Manang,
Mustang and Myagdi. Lamjung and Myagdi
of the lower elevations are both
predominantly Hindu and with lush green
subtropical valleys with villages and
terraced farming.
Manang and Mustang are of the higher
elevations and are predominantly Tibetan
Buddhist. The Manang people are Gurung
(not Tibetan descent) and are very proud
of their unique cultural heritage and
merging of lower land Gurung and Tibetan
cultural influences. People of Mustang
identify themselves a lot closer with
Tibet and the Mustang region has
actually been part of Tibet in history.
Mustang also is one of the last places
in the world to view the ancient Bonpo
Religion in action. Villages to note for
Bonpo are Thini and Lupra near Jomsom,
and Nargon near Kobang.
The trek
begins at low elevation and climbs up to
5,416 meter (17,768ft) Thorung La pass.
Along the way it passes through dozens
of lowland and high mountain villages
and some of the most spectacular natural
scenery in the world.
We can finish this trek either in
21 days or in in 13 - 14 Days.

This is considered to be the traditional
trek in the Annapurna region. The
highlight of this trip is the trek over
the 5416 m Thorang La pass. This is as
high as one can get in this region
without climbing a mountain. This 20
days trip tends to be more physically
demanding than the other treks so good
physical condition is needed.
People call this same trekking by
different names like Annapurna circuit
Trek or Round Annapurna Trekking or
Round ABC Trek or Trekking from Manang
To Mustang too.
