This unforgettable trek through Nepal’s iconic Annapurna region is one of the most rewarding Annapurna trekking tours available, perfect for those seeking stunning mountain scenery, rich cultural encounters and a thoughtfully paced adventure. Ideal for first-time trekkers, this carefully crafted itinerary offers a gentle acclimatisation profile, comfortable altitudes, and varied terrain, making it an excellent introduction to Himalayan trekking.
Our unique route begins in the lush foothills, winding through terraced farmlands, traditional Gurung and Magar villages, and pristine rhododendron forests before rising to the alpine heights of Kopra Ridge, one of the most spectacular vantage points in the entire Annapurna range. From here, take in extraordinary views of Dhaulagiri’s colossal face, plunging into the depths of the Kali Gandaki, the world’s deepest gorge.
One of the many highlights of this Annapurna trekking tour is the journey beyond the beaten track to the sacred Khayer Lake, nestled beneath the Fang Face of Annapurna I. This serene glacial lake, reached via ancient pilgrimage trails, offers a quiet spiritual dimension and a true sense of Himalayan isolation without technical difficulty or extreme altitude.
This trek exemplifies World Expeditions’ pioneering approach to adventure. Designed by our expert Himalayan team and refined over decades, this is more than just a walk - it’s a curated experience that brings to life the landscapes, culture and legends of the Annapurna region. We avoid the busiest trails, instead offering paths less travelled that allow for meaningful encounters and quiet moments in the mountains.
Along the way, you’ll stay in our exclusive Eco-Comfort Camps, set in stunning, secluded locations. These permanent camps feature raised beds with mattresses and clean linen, and the opportunity to connect with our local support crew in a warm, relaxed environment. More than just a place to rest your head, these camps enhance the experience with comfort and character, while minimising environmental impact and spreading economic benefits to remote communities.
Your journey is made even more rewarding with our unbeatable list of inclusions. All meals on trek are freshly prepared by our dedicated cooks, and we include unlimited boiled water, daily hot drinks, and a 5kg extra baggage allowance on domestic flights.
