Annapurna Region Trekking
Annapurna
Region is the most popular trekking route in Nepal. There are
four major trekking routes in central Nepal: to Ghorepani /
Poon Hill, to Jomsom / Muktinath, to Annapurna Sanctuary / Base
Camp, and a circuit of the Annapurna Himal itself. Pokhara is
also a good starting place for short treks of one to seven days
is including the Royal trek, Siklish trek, Panchase trek, Ghandrung
trek, Sarangkot / Dhampus trek etc...
Mustang
is also geographically a part of the Annapurna region, but because
treks to Mustang are subject to special restrictions, this is
described it in the separate page on restricted area treks.
About two-thirds of the trekkers in Nepal visit the Annapurna
region. The area is easily accessible, hotels in the hills are
plentiful, and treks here offer good scenery of both high mountains
and lowland villages.
All the
Annapurna trips start and end at Pokhara except Annapurna Circuit.
It is possible to extend your trip from Pokhara to Royal Chitwan
National Park either by vehicle or river raft for elephant safaris
and game viewing or return to Kathmandu.
