Trekking
Experience the Annapurna Circuit trek the way few ever do - away from the crowds, and deep into the untouched corners of the Himalaya. Our Annapurna Circuit trek - the remote way - is a unique take on one of Nepal’s most iconic treks, thoughtfully reimagined to reflect our pioneering spirit and commitment to travelling responsibly on paths less travelled.
While the classic Annapurna Circuit has grown busier over the years, our itinerary avoids the road-accessed sections and instead detours through the secluded valleys of Nar and Phu. These ancient Tibetan enclaves were only opened to trekkers in recent decades, and still remain well beyond the main trail. Here, chortens, mani walls and prayer flags mark your passage through high-altitude settlements steeped in culture, offering a rare glimpse into a slower, deeply spiritual way of life.
We trek through dramatic alpine landscapes, ascend the lesser-known Kang La Pass (5,320m / 17,454ft) and rejoin the Annapurna Circuit to cross the famous Thorong La Pass (5,416m / 17,769ft). These two passes are high points in every sense - providing unparalleled mountain views and the satisfaction of a true wilderness traverse. The descent brings you into the windswept Mustang region and the Kali Gandaki, one of the deepest gorges on earth, flanked by the sheer faces of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri.
This is not just an alternative Annapurna Circuit route - it’s a reflection of how we believe treks in Nepal should be: low-impact, locally led, and rich in both culture and challenge. For nearly 50 years, World Expeditions has been crafting trekking experiences in Nepal that go beyond the ordinary. Our fully supported camping-based trek allows for flexibility, comfort and a deeper connection with your crew. It also employs more local people than lodge-based treks, spreading the benefits of tourism to remote villages far from the road.
You’ll walk with expert local wilderness first-aid trained guides, and your safety is our top priority with well-paced acclimatisation and comprehensive medical gear including a Portable Altitude Chamber. Your trek includes all meals, unlimited boiled water, and a quality Trek Pack with down jacket, sleeping bag and kit bag—offering real value and eliminating the need for expensive gear purchases. Our Pioneering Porter Policy ensures your support crew are well equipped, paid fairly, and treated with respect.
If you’re looking for an Annapurna Circuit trek that delivers all the grandeur of Nepal’s Himalaya without the crowds—and adds an element of true discovery - this is the way to walk it.
