What people love about touring Annapurna Circuit solo
- Annapurna Circuit Trek 15 Days
“Trek was physically challenging at times but worth it. Views were spectacular. Our guide Ram was wonderful as were our porters. Food was good and the tea houses were basic but comfortable.”
Simply the best! Wonderful from start to finish. The guides, the staff, the journey. I will be booking another trip with ONe seed- no doubt! Do not hesitate!
Annapurna Discovery
The scenery covers everything from lush forest and rice paddys (in the lower sections) to arid valleys (around Manang and mustang) and of course, the 5400m Thorung La pass! And all along the way your have this amazing backdrop of the Annapurna range and other Himalayan giants. Plan on at least 2 weeks to enjoy the trek - or more if you want to do some of the side trips available. Lodging is easy to find pretty much year-round although it gets very busy in the peak seasons (April & September). Bring warm gear, a strong pair of legs and a sense of adventure :)
