Challenging12 days · 5,416 mThe big one
Annapurna Circuit & Thorong La
The world’s most famous trek — subtropical valleys to a 5,416 m pass and the desert of Mustang.
Rice paddies to glacial desert in under two weeks. The Circuit crosses Thorong La at 5,416 m — a real high pass that deserves respect — then drops into the Buddhist valleys of lower Mustang. We build in two acclimatization days at Manang because summit day should feel hard, not dangerous.
Why you'll love it
- Thorong La at 5,416 m — the pass the whole trek is built around
- Manang at 3,540 m, with an acclimatization day and the altitude clinic talk
- Subtropical Marsyangdi valleys to the Mustang desert in twelve days
- Muktinath at 3,760 m, sacred to Hindus and Buddhists both
