The Annapurna region, a jewel of the Himalayas, offers one of the most captivating trekking experiences on Earth. Unlike a solitary peak, the Annapurnas form a sprawling massif—a dramatic collection of jagged summits, glaciated valleys, and high passes that stretch over 60 kilometres across central Nepal. The landscapes here shift from subtropical forests and terraced farmlands to alpine meadows and desolate high-altitude deserts.

Our guidebook to the region includes the popular Annapurna Sanctuary and Annapurna Circuit as well as lesser known Machhapuchhre area.
