From the breathtaking views of mountains to river valleys, you will explore some of the most beautiful views on earth.

It is not only the views but also the cultural wonders along the trail that people love when they go on the Annapurna Circuit Trek. The trek is a beautiful adventure walking experience along two amazing river valleys and mountain surroundings. You will also trek over a high pass, Thorong La, which stands impressively at the elevation of 5,416 meters above sea level.
