The Annapurna Region (a.k.a. Annapurna Sanctuary) is the most popular trekking area in Nepal. The Annapurna Circuit, starting in Besisahar, over Thorung La Pass, ending in Birethanti, is the classic route and my most favourite trek. Other treks include: Annapurna Base Camp, Poon Hill and Tilicho Lake.

The trekking is mostly relaxed, with the occasional difficult section. All trails are serviced by teahouses as they track from village to village. The magnificent snowcapped Annapurna Mountains are always in view.
