The Annapurna valley was first explored in 1950 by a French Expedition team trying to attempt a summit. Their account and description of the valley encouraged and motivated many travelers to explore what is now known by many as the most beautiful sanctuary in the Himalayas.

The Annapurna Circuit is one of the most prestigious and challenging treks one can opt for. On this trek you cross one of the highest passes Thorung La at 5416 mts, you trek across terraced rice fields, dense oak and rhododendron forests, and embrace enchanting views along with the warm and rich local culture and tradition.
