The Annapurna Circuit Trek is a popular trekking route located in the Annapurna region of Nepal. It is one of the most diverse and stunningly beautiful treks in the world, offering breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks, picturesque villages, lush forests, and diverse landscapes.

The Annapurna Circuit Trek is renowned not for its elevation gain, but for its extensive distance. It has been selected as the top long-distance trek in the world, covering over 100 miles around the Annapurna Range, showcasing the magnificent natural landscapes and unique cultures of Nepal. The trek provides an up-close view of the mountain ranges, including Annapurna I-IV, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, Manaslu, Gangapurna, Tilicho Peak, Pisang Peak, and Paungda Danda.

The trek starts in the city of Besisahar and winds through remote villages and scenic valleys before reaching the highest point of the trek, the Thorong La Pass, which stands at an altitude of 5,416 meters (17,769 ft). The trek then descends through the Mustang region, before reaching the town of Jomsom and eventually, the city of Pokhara. Throughout the journey, the trekkers pass through diverse landscapes, including lush forests, rocky cliffs, and arid desert-like regions. Traditional villages en route are inhabited by various ethnic groups, including Gurung, Thakali, and Tibetan communities, allowing trekkers to experience their unique cultures and lifestyles.

The ACT is considered a moderate to strenuous level trek, requiring a good level of physical fitness and endurance. Trekkers must also be prepared for high altitudes and unpredictable weather conditions. It is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that offers an unforgettable experience of Nepal’s natural beauty and cultural richness. If you’re looking to make a journey that’s a bit different from the mainstream treks such as EBC, you must go for it.
