Trek through beautiful villages and pass by many wonders of nature
The Annapurna Circuit trail gently climbs through the lush, green foothills and takes you on a journey through some of Nepal’s most remote and charming mountain villages- Chamje, Dharapani, Chame, Pisang, Manang, Yak Kharka, Kagbeni, Jomsom, Tatopani, Ghorepani, and so many hidden gems in between.
The trail keeps things interesting- expect climbs, descents, forest paths, narrow gorges. You will cross suspension bridges, catch water streams tumbling down cliffs, and hike alongside terraced rice fields.
Friendly locals and rich cultural heritage
One of the best parts of the Comfort Annapurna Circuit journey is meeting the amazing people who live along the trail. The route winds through a mix of Brahmin, Chhetri, Magar, and Gurung villages where everyone seems to greet you like an old friend. Whether you are lost in translation or just looking for a place to rest, there’s always a helping hand around you.
You will also pass by temples, prayer wheels, and colourful strings of prayer flags fluttering in the breeze, reminders that this trek is as spiritual as it is scenic. And every night, when you settle into a local teahouse, you will get a front-row seat to the everyday rhythms and rich traditions of Himalayan life.
Stunning mountain views and diverse scenery
If you are looking for stunning mountain views, the Comfort Annapurna Circuit Trek will not disappoint. You catch awe-inspiring views of snow-covered monsters: Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Gangapurna, Tilicho Peak, just to name a few. Each mountain is unique, and their beauty never gets old no matter how many times you see them.
The terrain also constantly changes from lush green valleys, fast-flowing rivers, alpine meadows, and then dry highlands under snow-capped peaks. The whole adventure feels like you are walking through different worlds, all in one trek.
Crossing Thorong La Pass
Thorong La Pass is where the adventure truly peaks. At 5,416 meters, it is the highest point of Annapurna Circuit comfort trek and one of the most thrilling parts of the journey. It is a rugged mountain pass connecting Manang to the sacred village of Muktinath, and it is as challenging as it is rewarding.
The climb is steep, the air is thin, and if you are trekking in the colder months, the trail might be blanketed in snow. But the scene from the above is unreal and you will definitely have a sweet feeling of accomplishment.
Get Blessings in Muktinath Temple
After the epic trek over Thorong La Pass, we descend gradually into the holy village of Muktinath, a tranquil retreat lying at an altitude of 3,800 m and surrounded by the Himalaya's spiritual energy.
This ancient temple, which is holy to both Hindus and Buddhists, is a powerful site of pilgrimage. Inside the temple, 108 water sprouts flow continuously, and bathing under them is believed to cleanse all sins and bring spiritual purification.
Whether you are there to offer a prayer, witness the rituals, or simply rest your legs and your thoughts, Muktinath feels like a blessing in the heart of the mountains.
Travel along Kali Gandaki Gorge and Apple Orchards
As you trek through the Kali Gandaki Gorge, you will be walking between two Himalayan giants: Dhaulagiri and Annapurna. This ancient trade route between Tibet and India, which was once a busy thoroughfare, now boasts peaceful trails and stunning scenery for Annapurna Circuit trek in Comfort way.
Further, beyond that, landscape moves to apple orchards that are close to charming villages like Marpha. Apples here are popularly delicious and famous, we bid! If it is your day, you could get to drop by a home distillery where you can enjoy some fresh apple brandy or pick up some yummy apple snacks along the journey.
Relax in the natural hot springs in Tatopani
After days of trekking, nothing is as lovely as soaking in the soothing and warm hot springs. Set on the riverside of the Kali Gandaki River, these natural hot tubs in Tatopani are the perfect delight for your exhausted legs.
The locals take care of the hot springs and, for a little fee; you can soak your sore muscles in the open air. It is said that these mineral waters not only relax your muscles but also cure your skin- so, grab a swimsuit and a little extra cash, and treat yourself to some well-deserved mountain spa time!
Witness the magical sunrise from Poon Hill
Almost at the end of the trek, we ascend Poon Hill (3,210 meters). This scenic overlook above Ghorepani village is a favorite of many. It may be an early morning climb, but trust us: the golden reward of sunrise shining over the snow-clad peaks of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri is sheer magic.
This location is so beautiful and popular that it is a common stand-alone short trek, but it is also the perfect climactic ending to the 16 days comfort Annapurna Circuit trek.
