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 go on. While on the trek you go through dense forests, beautiful villages, stay at the local tea houses and get offered spectacular views!

About the Area
The Annapurna Circuit trek is located in the Annapurna Sanctuary 40kms north of Pokhra in the Kaski district of Nepal. It is inhabited by the native Gurung people who hold this sanctuary sacred. The peak of Machapuchare at the entrance is believed to be the home of God Shiva.
