Activity Trekking

Walking 4-6 Hours

Maximum Altitude 4190 M

Duration 12 Days

Difficulty Moderate

Group Size 5

This journey offers a deep immersion into local culture and the natural beauty of the Annapurna Conservation Area, a sanctuary for rare wildlife like the Himalayan Thar and snow leopards. Reaching an elevation of 4,130 meters, the trek culminates in a spectacular amphitheater of peaks, providing unrivaled views of Annapurna I and Machhapuchare.

Designed for those with a sense of adventure but limited by a tight schedule, this 12-day expedition is a condensed version of longer regional treks. While the terrain involves crossing suspension bridges and traversing remote valleys, the moderate difficulty level makes it achievable for anyone with steady fitness. To ensure the best visibility and stable weather, the ideal seasons for this trek are the spring months of March and April or the autumn window between September and October.
