The classic Annapurna Circuit takes two to three weeks. This eight-day version uses the jeep roads that now reach deep into the Marsyangdi valley to deliver the part everyone comes for: Manang, the high desert, and the crossing of Thorong La at 5,416m.
You finish at Muktinath and fly out from Jomsom, which removes the long descent down the Kali Gandaki and keeps the trip inside a single week.
Trip Highlights
- Crossing Thorong La (5,416m), one of the highest trekking passes in the world
- Manang, with its Tibetan-influenced culture and dramatic setting
- The sacred temple complex at Muktinath
- A striking transition from green valley to arid high desert
- Views of Annapurna II, III, IV, Gangapurna and Chulu
- Jeep and flight transfers compress the classic circuit into eight days
