About Annapurna Panorama Trek

The Annapurna Panorama Trekking route stands out as one of the most visually stunning and captivating destinations within the Annapurna region. Nepal Spirit Adventure provides this beautiful and concise journey, with experienced guides who will lead you through the breathtaking landscapes of this remarkable country, traversing the elevated hills surrounding the Annapurna area. The Annapurna Panorama Trekking offers unparalleled beauty within the Himalayas, featuring a brief circuit walk that allows for a comfortable stay in cozy lodges situated amidst the traditional villages of the Gurung and Magar tribes, the primary inhabitants of the Southern Annapurna region.

The trek to Annapurna Panorama provides spectacular vistas of several majestic mountains, including Dhaulagiri (8,167m), Annapurna I (8,091m), Annapurna South (7,219m), Gangapurna (7,455m), and Annapurna III (7,555m). Additionally, it features the iconic Mt. Machhapuchare, known as "Fish-tail" (6,997m), along with numerous surrounding peaks. The Annapurna Panorama Trek commences with a breathtaking aerial journey to Pokhara, a picturesque valley renowned for its unspoiled Begnas and Phewa Lakes, where the majestic Annapurna Himalaya is mirrored in the tranquil waters.

Pokhara serves as both the starting and concluding point for treks and mountaineering expeditions that offer stunning views of the Annapurna mountain range. Our route traverses elevated hills adorned with beautiful forests of rhododendrons and pine trees, transforming the landscape into a natural paradise during the spring and summer months when the flowers are in full bloom. The journey passes through several agricultural villages, including Tirkhedhunga, Hille, and Ulleri, before arriving at Ghorepani, which is the gateway for the hike to the renowned Poon Hill.

Poon Hill, situated at an altitude of 3,210 meters, represents the highest point of the Annapurna panorama trek. This location provides breathtaking views of the sunrise across a magnificent range of mountains. Our pleasant journey traverses a beautiful rhododendron forest, culminating in this remarkable trek at Nayapul, following a visit to the expansive Gurung village of Ghandruk. This trek comes highly recommended for all those interested in experiencing the beauty of the Annapurna range and enjoying breathtaking mountain views from Poon Hill, Ghorepani, Tadapani, and Ghandrung. The Annapurna Panorama Journey concludes with a brief drive from Nayapul to the scenic city of Pokhara, where travelers can catch a flight back to Kathmandu or a tourist bus to Kathmandu all facilitated by the excellent service and guidance of Nepal Spirit Adventure.

The optimal seasons for the Annapurna Panorama Trekking are Autumn (September to November) and Spring (March to May), during which the weather is typically sunny and warm, providing outstanding views. For those seeking solitude and a closer connection with nature, this trek can be undertaken throughout the entire year. If your primary focus is on engaging a trekking guide and porter, we offer this service. Additionally, we are pleased to help you secure the Annapurna Conservation Areapermit, arrange flights from Kathmandu to Pokhara and return, and obtain tourist bus tickets.
