In 19 days you could visit the main highlights of Nepal on a hiking trip through the northeast Khumbu region, from the capital of Kathmandu all the way to Everest Base Camp. You could also embark on one of the most scenic and rewarding treks in the country: the Annapurna Circuit. This diverse hike covers quite a bit of ground around the Annapurna Massif, from descending to the depths of the Kali Gandaki Gorge to summiting Thorung La Pass, which is the highest point on the trip at 17,769 feet (5,416 meters).
The holy grail of treks since it first opened to foreigners in the early 1980s, the Annapurna Circuit is one of the most popular high-altitude adventures in the world. The route crosses two different river valleys and encircles the Annapurna massif through lowland villages occupied by Brahmin and Chhetri ethnic people to the upper settlements of Manang Valley.
Immerse yourself in the stunning scenery and culture of the Himalaya on this two-week-long trek that covers all the essential attractions between Kathmandu and Everest Base Camp. From Lukla— the gateway to the Khumbu — all the way to the summit of Kala Patthar, you will trek along challenging routes, visit Sherpa villages, and enjoy unforgettable views of the region's most iconic mountains.
