Discover the Annapurna Circuit: Trekking Adventure in Nepal

October 15, 2024

Embrace a breathtaking adventure along Nepal’s legendary Annapurna Circuit–one of the world’s most scenic and diverse trekking routes. Designed for fit and experienced hikers, this high-altitude journey winds through lush valleys, alpine forests and stark Himalayan landscapes, culminating in the dramatic crossing of Thorong La Pass (17,769 feet) — a true test of endurance rewarded with panoramic mountain views. Along the way, trekkers will visit culturally rich villages such as Manang, where ancient monasteries and glacier views await, and Muktinath, a sacred pilgrimage site revered by both Hindus and Buddhists. Traditional stone-built villages including Pisang and Braga offer insight into centuries-old Himalayan life, with fluttering prayer flags, spinning prayer wheels, and timeless mountain hospitality. The Annapurna Circuit is more than a trek–it is a deep dive into Nepal’s natural grandeur and spiritual soul, offering both physical challenge and cultural immersion in one unforgettable journey.

This 15-day trip costs $1,590 per person. The trip is led by Follow Alice—an adventure travel company known for its ethical, community-centered approach to tourism. Founded in 2014 after cofounder Reto climbed Kilimanjaro with local Tanzanian guide Chris, Follow Alice was born out of a shared passion for exploration and cultural connection. Today, all of their guides are local, and 70% of each trip’s cost remains within the local economy, supporting sustainable travel as well as empowering communities.
