Annapurna Circuit Trekking

The Annapurna Circuit is a circular loop around the Annapurna Region. The circuit can usually be covered on foot in 18 days. However this trek can be customised to suit your needs and can be shortened to 14 days by flying to and from Pokhara before and after the trek, or extended to include one or more of the many side-trips that can be formed using only a part of the circuit and then heading to different fascinating destinations like Ghorepani, Jomsom and Annapurna Base Camp.
