Annapurna or Everest

Craig Middleton says:
From start to finish Kumuka's group tour of the Annapurna circuit exceeded our expectations. Initially I was uncertain if to book a tour or just turn up in Kathmandu and hope for the best. On reflection I made the right choice. Our guides and sherpas were friendly and experienced. The tour was well organised and accommodation (teahouses)was mainly organised in advance avoiding the disapointment that independant travellers often found. We always had the best tea houses available. Having trek food included made life easy. Thank you

Introduction: Trekking in the Annapurna region provides dramatic contrasts between green terraced farmland of the Marshyangdi valley and the massive peaks of the western portion of the great Annapurna. These peaks include Mt. Manaslu, Buddha Himal, Annapurna II & IV Gangapurna and Tilicho. In spite of the great heights of the surrounding peaks and ice walls, the valley floor between provides some of the best trekking in Nepal. Highlights include: the Thorong La (5416m), which must be crossed on the Annapurna Circuit trek, to reach the sacred site of Muktinath. This temple complex is a pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists and from here the sunrise on Dhaulagiri is particularly striking. Descending from Muktinath, you will be rewarded with great views of the Mustang region and caves in the northern hillside used as shelters by Tibetan refugees after China took over Tibet. Descend through the beautiful river valley into the world's deepest river gorge, carved by the mighty Kali Gandaki River, as it slices between the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massifs. Relax in the hot springs at Tatopani and ascend Poon Hill for sunrise and panoramic mountain views over the Annapurnas, including Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Ganagapurna, Annapurna III, Nilgiri, Machhapuchhare, Dhaulagiri & many more. The trek itself ends in Pokhara, with its beautiful setting on the shores of the lake.

Please note: This trek is physically demanding and requires an above average level of fitness. Some trekking experience is recommended. Please discuss your suitability with your consultant if you have any concerns before booking.

Please note that for any client opting to pay the single supplement, this covers accommodation in hotels only on the tour, not in tea houses, where single rooms cannot be guaranteed.
