The Annapurna Ring is deservedly considered one of the most beautiful in the world, as this route has everything that can be seen in the Himalayas: glaciers, alpine lakes, jungles, waterfalls, authentic Nepalese villages, deep gorges over which suspension bridges are thrown. And there are also views of 3 eight-thousand-meter mountains at once: Annapurna (8091 m), Dhaulagiri (8167 m) and Manaslu (8156 m). There are only 14 mountains in the world above 8000 meters, and Annapurna is the most dangerous of them for climbing.


We will walk through the full Annapurna ring, where you will find the highest trekking pass — Thorong La (5416 m), authentic Nepalese villages and traditional food, overnight stays in cozy mountain lodges and evenings by a warm stove, tea on the shore of Lake Tilicho (4949 m), the deepest gorge in the world, dawn on the mountain Poon Hill with the best panorama of the Annapurna massif, thermal springs and much more! See the photos, read the route description and join us. After all, the Himalayas are mountains that everyone should see!


Trekking around Annapurna practically does not require special acclimatization exits, as its route already provides for acclimatization with a smooth climb.

Trekking program
Day 1. Meeting the group in Kathmandu. City tour.
Arrival in Kathmandu. We will meet you at the airport and arrange a transfer to the hotel located in the Thamel district. On this day, we will explore the main attractions of Nepal’s capital, purchase any necessary equipment, and enjoy dinner at one of the local restaurants.

Today our Himalayan adventure begins — a journey through one of the most beautiful mountain regions on Earth. After an early breakfast, we will take a transfer towards the Annapurna region.
The road winds through the green hills, villages, and valleys of central Nepal, offering beautiful views of the countryside and local life.
In the afternoon, we will arrive at Timang — a picturesque mountain village with stunning views of the Manaslu massif. From here, our trekking adventure will begin the following morning.
After settling into one of the local lodges and enjoying a delicious dinner, you can take a walk around the village and watch the sunset over Mt. Manaslu (8,163 m) — the first eight-thousander of our route.

Upon arrival in Upper Pisang, we will check into our lodge, take some time to rest, and then head out for a walk to the Buddhist monastery, where you will have the opportunity to attend a traditional Buddhist ceremony.

If you still have enough energy, we will take an acclimatization hike to the base camp of Pisang Peak (6,091 m) located near the village. This hike will help your body adapt to higher altitudes, lower temperatures, and thinner air.
In the second half of the day, we will explore the life of Manang — a mountain village whose traditions and lifestyle have remained almost unchanged since medieval times. We will enjoy local food, relax, and take in the peaceful atmosphere of the Himalayas.
In the evening, we will go to bed early to save energy for the most challenging and important part of the Annapurna Circuit trek.

Trekking time: 6 hours
Day 5. Upper Pisang — Manang (3,540 m). Gangapurna Lake.

After breakfast, we will follow a scenic mountain trail through authentic Himalayan villages. Along the way, we will see a large mani wall — a sacred wall made of ritual stones decorated with carvings and inscriptions. We will also climb to a viewpoint where you can buy refreshments, apples, and yak cheese while enjoying breathtaking views of Himchuli and Manaslu peaks.
In the afternoon, we will arrive in Manang — one of the most beautiful places on our route.

Located at an altitude of 5,416 m (higher than Everest Base Camp, Mt. Kazbek, and Mt. Ararat), the pass lies between the six-thousanders Yakawa Kang (6,482 m) and Katung Kang (6,484 m). It is also the historic route connecting Manang with the once-restricted region of Mustang.
We will start early in the morning and watch the sunrise while already on the trail. To reach the pass, we need to gain about 900 vertical meters — and after the acclimatization hikes of the previous days, you will be well prepared for this challenge.
At the top of Thorong La, an incredible panorama of the Himalayan mountains will be waiting for us — the perfect reward for our efforts. After taking a rest, capturing photos among the snowy peaks, and visiting the memorial plaque decorated with prayer flags, we will begin our descent into Lower Mustang.
By midday, we will reach the village of Ranipauwa (3,760 m), where the sacred Muktinath Temple is located. This is one of the most important pilgrimage sites for both Hindus and Buddhists. We will visit the temple and, if you wish, take part in the traditional ritual of bathing under the 108 sacred water spouts.
After some rest, we will continue our descent to Kagbeni — one of the most beautiful villages of Lower Mustang. There we will enjoy dinner, a hot shower, and a well-deserved night’s rest.

Day 10. Lower Mustang. Transfer to Pokhara.

The river cuts through the Great Himalayan Range between two eight-thousanders — Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. The Kali Gandaki Gorge is considered the deepest gorge in the world.
One of the highlights of the day will be the charming village of Marpha, famous for its apples. Here, we will have the perfect opportunity to taste delicious apple pie, apple brandy, or fresh apple juice. This is also the starting point for expeditions to Dhaulagiri (8,167 m) — the seventh-highest mountain in the world.
