Annapurna Trekking in Nepal

The Annapurna region is the most popular trekking route in Nepal. There are three major classical trekking routes ,Jomsom-Muktinath, Annapurna sanctuary (Annapurna Base Camp), and the Annapurna circuit

The entire Annapurna Range can be seen in the background. Pokhara city is very popular as it is a great spot to relax for a few days, before or after your trek. All of these trekking routes include the chance to watch the sun rise from Poon Hill as it lights up magnificent views of the Himalayas. From there, the trail leads you to Ghandruk, the homeland of the brave Gurkha soldiers.
