About Annapurna Circuit
The Annapurna Circuit trek circumnavigates the 10th-highest mountain in 16-21 days, ascending through distinct ecological zones from subtropical forests to high alpine deserts. Thorong La Pass (5,416m) represents the climax; yak caravans cross daily. The circuit remains unposted—navigation by prayer flags and trail sense.
