Trekking | Nepal's Annapurna Circuit
The Annapurna Circuit in Nepal is one of the best long-distance treks in the world. Hikers trek through impressive gorges, scenic meadows, cascading waterfalls, crystal-clear lakes, and spectacular mountain passes.

With its diverse terrain and breathtaking vistas, the Annapurna Circuit is a must-visit destination when you're ready to seek the thrill of conquering new heights.
Depending on your experience, the Annapurna circuit can be trekked year-round. However, the best times are spring and autumn, February to May, and again, September to early December.
