Trekking is one of the most desired adventures among the youth and adults. Nepal is famous for the hills and mountains and the best place for trekking. Annapurna Circuit trek is one of the most popular treks within the Annapurna Mountain range of central Nepal. Every year more than 100,000 tourists come to trek and visit the Annapurna Circuit. The place is famous for the comfortable trek with lots of tea-houses. The total route length is 160-230 km depending on the transportation. You have to cross two different river valleys and circle around the Annapurna massif. You will reach the highest point of the Thorong La pass i.e. 5,416 m that touch the edge of the Tibetan Plateau. You need to hike the route in anticlockwise so that the daily altitude gain will be slower and you can cross the Thorong La pass easily and safely.
Many tourists wonder for the short trek. The Annapurna Circuit Short Trek is designed for the trekkers who have limited time and wants to explore the Annapurna circuit.
