The Annapurna Circuit Trek is a world-famous Himalayan journey circling the Annapurna Massif through lush valleys, pine forests, arid rain-shadow deserts, and timeless villages. You’ll acclimatize in Manang, cross the iconic Thorong La Pass (5,416 m), and descend to Muktinath and Jomsom—a dramatic change of culture, climate, and scenery in a single loop.
Unlike out-and-back routes, this circuit delivers constant variety: Tilicho Lake side trips, apple orchards in Marpha, monasteries, chortens, and teahouse hospitality everywhere. Itineraries range from 12–18 days, with smart shortcuts (road hops or flights) if you’re tight on time.
Planning is simple on BidMyTrip: shortlist 3/5/8 packages, invite verified local specialists to bid, compare inclusions and refund policies side-by-side, then book securely via escrow. Prefer a porter, private rooms, or a Tilicho Lake add-on? Say the word—agents tailor it for you.

The Annapurna trek was a life-changing experience for me! The breathtaking views of the Himalayas were beyond anything I had imagined. I trekked with a small group led by a fantastic guide who shared fascinating stories about the culture and history of the region. The camaraderie developed among our group during the challenging climbs made every moment worthwhile. I can't wait to go back! 🌄

I booked this trip on a whim and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. The trails were challenging but rewarding, the stays were cozy, and every sunset felt like a reward after a long day of hiking. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an adventure with a view.
