The Annapurna Circuit: The Big Mountain Trip

 

A lot of people say this is one of the best treks on Earth, and there's a good reason. It's a complete trip around the Annapurna mountains. You'll go through jungles, rice fields, and the Manang Valley. The hardest part is going over Thorong La Pass, a high mountain path at 17,769 feet. It's hard to breathe up there, but the mountain views are your prize. It's a trip you won't ever forget.

 

The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek: Great for Newbies

 

Don't have much time or just starting out? This hike is great, the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek has great mountain views but isn't too hard. The best part is seeing the sunrise from Poon Hill. Watching the light hit Dhaulagiri and Annapurna South is awesome. The trail is pretty, going through villages and forests. It's a fun and worth it.



The Pikey Peak Trek: A Quiet Place with Great Views

 

Want to miss the crowds? Go to the Pikey Peak Trek in Solu. Locals will tell you this spot has one of the best views of Mount Everest in Nepal. Besides the views, this is your shot to see how people live in the Himalayan villages. Since not many hikers go here, it feels like you have the mountains to yourself.



The Annapurna Circuit with Tilicho Lake: The Hardest Option



Want to make the regular Circuit even harder? Add a trip to Tilicho Lake. This takes you to one of the highest lakes at 16,138 feet. The blue water with the mountains around it is unbelievable. It’s a tough climb, but the feeling when you're is awesome.
