Grand Annapurna Trek
The Annapurna
Circuit Trek (ACT) is one of the most celebrated treks in the
world and considered by many travel writers to be THE ultimate mountain
trek. The Annapurna Base Camp (ABC)
trek, also known as the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek, is also considered
a classic trek in its own right and has been a firm favourite for many
a first-time trekker to Nepal. Collectively, these 2 Annapurna treks
are among the 'must-trek' of any adventure trekker who are lovers of
the Nepal Himalaya range.
We now bring to you the reality of trekking these 2
great Annapurna classics by combining them into a single month-long
trek. This combined trek, with a staggering walking distance of over
300km, can of course be done within a much shorter duration but any
shorter would not do justice to the unbelievable sights that we'll be
passing through. The final aim of a trek should be in the sights and
the experience, not achieving a bragging right.
The trails are generally not steep but on some days
can seem endless, especially at the higher altitudes. Trail conditions
on certain days can also be primitive with need to traverse over avalanched
sections . This is one heck of a long distance trek and coupled with
the wide differentials in altitude involved, the trek offers lots of
diversity in geographical features, culture, and mountain vistas...
this is the definitive Annapurna trek for the mountain lover !
