Discover the Annapurna Circuit: Trekking Adventure in Nepa

October 15, 2024

Embark on an adventure along Nepal’s legendary Annapurna Circuit - one of the world’s most scenic trekking routes.

Designed for experienced hikers, this high-altitude journey winds through lush valleys, alpine forests, and stark Himalayan peaks, culminating in the dramatic crossing of Thorong La Pass (17,769 feet). Along the way, trekkers will visit culturally rich villages such as Manang, with ancient monasteries and glacier views, 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 offers a deep dive into Nepal’s natural grandeur and spiritual soul, combining a physical challenge with cultural immersion in one unforgettable journey.

This 16-day trip costs $2,590 per person. Follow Alice, an adventure travel company known for its ethical, community-centered approach to tourism, leads the trip. Founded in 2014 after co-founder 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.
