The Annapurna Region boasts the Annapurna Circuit, a magical circumference of trails that stretches through farming villages, rhododendron forests and ancient monasteries. With easy access from the bustling tourist hub Pokhara, these trails are outfitted with all the necessities to make weeks spent in the wild feel luxurious.
Most trekkers choose to start or end their adventure at the lakeside city of Pokhara. Here, restaurants pulse with live music and spas cater to tired travelers. Only a short drive away, adventures come face-to-face with the countryside and can enter the protected lands of the Annapurna Conservation Project (ACAP).
The efforts of ACAP have resulted in an understanding between lodge owners to promote sustainability development and tourism practice. Clear water stations are marked on colorful maps so trekkers can fill bottles for a minimal fee. Fixed price menus and comparable accommodations eliminate the uncomfortable practice of bargaining and negotiation found elsewhere in Nepal.
The Annapurna Mountain range is visible throughout this area, and many travelers make their way to Poon Hill for a sensational view of sunrise.
