Annapurna Circuit Trek

This iconic trek circles the Annapurna massif and usually takes between 14 to 21 days.

The trek also offers cultural highlights, such as visits to ancient temples and the sacred village of Muktinath.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Ideal for those with less time, the Annapurna Base Camp trek takes around 7 to 11 days. The route leads you to the foot of the towering Annapurna massif, where you’ll be surrounded by breathtaking views of peaks like Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) and Annapurna South. This trek passes through beautiful rhododendron forests and charming mountain villages.

Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek

Perfect for beginners or those with limited time, this 4 to 5-day trek offers some of the best sunrise views in Nepal. From Poon Hill, you can see panoramic vistas of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. The trail passes through traditional Gurung villages and terraced farmland.

A less crowded and more off-the-beaten-path option, the Mardi Himal trek usually lasts 5 to 6 days. This route takes you along ridges with spectacular mountain views and offers a peaceful trekking experience away from the main tourist routes.

Khopra Ridge Trek

This 7- to 9-day trek is perfect for travelers seeking serenity and panoramic views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. The trail also offers insight into local culture, passing through small villages and remote homestays.
