Day by Day

Your itinerary.

Your Annapurna Circuit Trek Nepal 12 Days adventure begins early in the morning with a scenic drive from Kathmandu toward the Annapurna region. Following the Prithvi Highway, the route winds alongside the Trishuli River through beautiful countryside landscapes, terraced farmland, traditional villages, and rolling hills.

After several hours, you arrive at Besisahar, the gateway to the Annapurna Circuit. From here, the journey continues by local sharing jeep along the rugged mountain road that follows the Marsyangdi River deep into the Himalayas. The drive passes through picturesque settlements including Bhulbhule, Jagat, and Tal while offering spectacular views of waterfalls, forests, river gorges, and distant snow-capped peaks.

As the road climbs higher into the Manang District, the scenery becomes increasingly dramatic with towering cliffs, pine forests, and Himalayan landscapes surrounding the valley. By late afternoon, you arrive at Dharapani, a beautiful mountain village where trekkers from both the Annapurna Circuit and Manaslu Circuit routes converge.

Overnight at a teahouse in Dharapani.

After breakfast, the trek begins with a gradual ascent through dense pine and fir forests while following the Marsyangdi River upstream. The trail passes through traditional villages influenced by Tibetan culture, where prayer flags, mani walls, and Buddhist chortens begin to appear more frequently.

Walking through Bagarchhap, Danaque, and Timang, trekkers enjoy magnificent views of Lamjung Himal, Annapurna II, and other surrounding peaks. The route alternates between forested trails and open sections that reveal dramatic mountain scenery.

After crossing several suspension bridges and traversing beautiful forest landscapes, the trail reaches the village of Chame, the administrative headquarters of Manang District. Surrounded by towering peaks and pine-covered hillsides, Chame offers spectacular views of Lamjung Himal and the first close-up Himalayan panoramas of the trek.

Overnight at a teahouse in Chame.

Today's journey follows one of the most scenic sections of the Annapurna Circuit. Leaving Chame, the trail passes through beautiful pine forests and follows the Marsyangdi River toward the upper reaches of the valley.

One of the day's highlights is the dramatic section near Paungda Danda, a massive curved rock face rising nearly 1,500 meters above the valley floor. This remarkable geological formation creates one of the most iconic landscapes on the entire circuit.

As the trail gradually ascends, magnificent views of Annapurna II, Annapurna IV, Pisang Peak, and surrounding Himalayan giants dominate the skyline. The valley widens considerably as you approach Pisang, revealing breathtaking mountain panoramas.

Rather than staying in Lower Pisang, the route climbs to Upper Pisang, a traditional village perched high above the valley. Known for its ancient monastery, stone-built houses, and spectacular mountain views, Upper Pisang offers one of the finest viewpoints on the Annapurna Circuit.

Overnight at a teahouse in Upper Pisang.

Today follows the famous upper route to Manang, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful trekking days in the Annapurna region. The trail climbs steadily through the traditional villages of Ghyaru and Ngawal, offering breathtaking panoramic views throughout the day.

As you gain elevation, the scenery changes dramatically. Dense forests gradually give way to open alpine terrain and dry mountain landscapes influenced by the Himalayan rain shadow. Along the route, colorful prayer flags, ancient monasteries, and traditional Tibetan-style settlements reflect the region's unique cultural heritage.

The trail provides exceptional views of Annapurna II, Annapurna III, Annapurna IV, Gangapurna, Tilicho Peak, and the Chulu range. Every turn reveals new mountain vistas and spectacular landscapes.

After descending gently toward the valley floor, the route joins the lower trail near Mungji before continuing into the beautiful village of Manang. Surrounded by towering Himalayan peaks and dramatic alpine scenery, Manang serves as the primary acclimatization stop before crossing Thorong La Pass.

Overnight at a teahouse in Manang.

Today is an important acclimatization day designed to help your body adjust to the increasing altitude before ascending higher into the Himalayas. Proper acclimatization significantly improves safety and comfort while preparing for the crossing of Thorong La Pass.

After breakfast, you may choose from several optional hikes around the Manang Valley. Popular excursions include Gangapurna Lake, Gangapurna Glacier Viewpoint, Bhojo Gompa, or higher ridges overlooking the valley. These short hikes follow the principle of "climb high, sleep low," helping the body adapt naturally to thinner air.

The remainder of the day can be spent exploring Manang village, visiting local bakeries and cafés, learning about Himalayan culture, or simply relaxing while enjoying the magnificent mountain surroundings. The village offers stunning views of Gangapurna, Annapurna III, Tilicho Peak, Chulu East, and Chulu West.

This acclimatization day not only improves physical preparation but also allows time to fully appreciate one of the most beautiful mountain settlements in Nepal.

Overnight at a teahouse in Manang.

Leaving Manang behind, the trail gradually ascends into a more rugged alpine environment where vegetation becomes increasingly sparse and the mountain landscape takes on a dramatic high-altitude character.

The route passes through Tenki Village before climbing steadily above the Marsyangdi Valley. Throughout the day, trekkers enjoy magnificent views of Annapurna III, Gangapurna, Tilicho Peak, Chulu East, and numerous surrounding peaks.

As the elevation increases, the trail traverses open yak grazing pastures and seasonal settlements used by local herders. The landscape becomes quieter and more remote, providing a true sense of being deep within the Himalayas.

After several hours of gradual climbing, you arrive at Yak Kharka, a small settlement surrounded by open mountain terrain and spectacular Himalayan scenery. The peaceful environment offers an ideal place to rest and continue acclimatization before ascending toward Thorong High Camp and the challenging crossing of Thorong La Pass.

Overnight at a teahouse in Yak Kharka.

After breakfast, the trail gradually ascends above the tree line into a rugged high-altitude environment. The route passes through Ledar and continues across rocky slopes with magnificent views of Gangapurna, Annapurna III, Chulu East, and surrounding Himalayan peaks. The landscape becomes increasingly barren and dramatic as you approach the upper reaches of the Thorong La route.

After reaching Thorong Phedi, the last major stop before the pass, there is time to rest and enjoy lunch while observing trekkers preparing for the next day's challenge. Depending on weather conditions and individual fitness, the journey continues with a steady climb to Thorong High Camp. From High Camp, spectacular mountain views stretch across the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. An early dinner and good rest are important in preparation for the pass crossing the following morning.

Overnight at a mountain lodge in Thorong High Camp.

Today is the most challenging and rewarding day of the entire Annapurna Circuit Trek. Before sunrise, you begin the ascent toward Thorong La Pass (5,416m), one of the highest trekking passes in the world. The climb is gradual but demanding due to the altitude. As dawn breaks over the Himalayas, breathtaking views unfold in every direction.

Upon reaching the summit, colorful prayer flags flutter in the mountain wind while panoramic views extend across Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, Tilicho Peak, and countless surrounding peaks. After celebrating this remarkable achievement and taking photographs, the trail descends into the Mustang region through dramatic high-altitude desert landscapes.

The descent eventually leads to the sacred pilgrimage town of Muktinath, an important spiritual destination for both Hindus and Buddhists. Upon arrival, you can visit the famous Muktinath Temple complex, eternal flame, and sacred water spouts before enjoying a well-earned rest.

Overnight at a teahouse in Muktinath.

Following breakfast, the journey continues by local bus through the spectacular Kali Gandaki Valley. The drive passes through Kagbeni, Jomsom, Marpha, Tukuche, and Kalopani, offering constantly changing scenery from the dry landscapes of Mustang to the greener hills of lower Annapurna.

Along the route, enjoy views of Nilgiri, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I, and numerous traditional Thakali settlements. The road follows the Kali Gandaki River through what is often described as the world's deepest gorge, situated between the massive Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges.

After passing the famous Rupse Waterfall, one of Nepal's most impressive waterfalls, the journey continues to Tatopani. The village is well known for its natural hot springs, where trekkers can relax and soothe tired muscles after several days of high-altitude trekking.

Overnight at a teahouse in Tatopani.

Today's trek begins with a steady ascent through beautiful terraced hillsides, traditional villages, and dense rhododendron forests. The trail climbs gradually through settlements inhabited by Magar communities, offering opportunities to experience local culture and traditional mountain lifestyles.

As the elevation increases, magnificent views of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South, Nilgiri, and surrounding peaks appear through the forest. During spring, the rhododendron forests burst into vibrant colors, creating one of the most beautiful trekking experiences in Nepal.

After several hours of uphill trekking, you arrive at Ghorepani, a popular mountain village situated beneath the famous Poon Hill viewpoint. Surrounded by forests and mountain panoramas, Ghorepani provides a peaceful atmosphere and excellent preparation for the sunrise excursion the following morning.

Overnight at a teahouse in Ghorepani.

An early morning hike takes you to the legendary Poon Hill viewpoint (3,210m), one of the most famous sunrise locations in the Himalayas. As the first rays of sunlight illuminate the snow-covered peaks, breathtaking panoramic views emerge across the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges.

From the viewpoint, enjoy unforgettable vistas of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Nilgiri, Hiunchuli, and numerous other Himalayan peaks stretching across the horizon. After spending time enjoying the scenery and taking photographs, return to Ghorepani for breakfast.

The trek then continues downhill through beautiful forests to Banthanti. Upon arrival, you board a local sharing jeep for the scenic drive to Pokhara. After several days in the mountains, the lakeside city offers a welcome opportunity to relax, enjoy comfortable accommodation, and celebrate the completion of the trekking portion of your journey.

Overnight at a hotel in Pokhara (BB Plan).

After breakfast at your hotel, depart Pokhara by tourist bus and travel back to Kathmandu. The scenic journey follows the Trishuli and Marsyangdi river valleys, passing picturesque villages, terraced farmland, and rolling hills along the way.
