This is a lodge-based trek, so you spend time in villages inhabited by many of Nepal's different tribes, both Buddhist and Hindu. Every day brings opportunities to gain an insight into the local culture and interact with the local communites whose land you are walking through, whether by bartering for souvenirs, talking to the inquisitive children or relaxing at a teahouse during a break.
This circuit of Annapurna - rightly known as Nepal's classic trek - offers more variety than any other walks of equivalent length, and takes you through virtually every type of scenery that Nepal has to offer.
There are gorgeous views of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, and the constant variety of landscapes ranges from sub-tropical through alpine to an arid semi-desert akin to Tibet; at the climax of the trek there's a formidable 5416m. Pass, the Thorong La, to cross. The circuit of the Annapurna range is rich in variety and vistas, and it's ecological and cultural diversity provides the complete experience of trekking.
