A legendary loop through rice terraces, pine forests and high desert, crossing the dramatic Thorong La pass.

The Annapurna Circuit is famed for its astonishing diversity of landscapes and cultures as it climbs from subtropical valleys to a barren Himalayan pass.

The Thorong La

The crux is an early-morning crossing of the 5,416 m Thorong La, often in snow, rewarded by the descent into the holy town of Muktinath.
