Annapurna Circuit, Long-distance trail in Gandaki Province, Nepal
The Annapurna Circuit spans 230 kilometers through dense jungles, snow-capped mountains, and traditional villages surrounding the Annapurna mountain range in central Nepal.
The region opened to international trekkers in 1977, leading to substantial development of infrastructure and accommodation facilities along the traditional mountain paths.
The trail passes through Muktinath, where ancient temples hold religious importance for both Hindu and Buddhist practitioners who make regular pilgrimages.
Trekkers require both a TIMS card and an Annapurna Conservation Area Permit, which can be obtained at government offices in Kathmandu.
The circuit reaches its maximum elevation at Thorung La Pass at 5,416 meters, where trekkers experience temperature variations from subtropical to alpine conditions.
