Fully Guided Annapurna Circuit Trek from Kathmandu
– All-Inclusive Tea House Trek in Nepal (2026 and 2027)
The Annapurna Circuit Trek remains one of Nepal’s most rewarding Himalayan journeys, combining dramatic mountain scenery, traditional village life, high mountain passes, and changing landscapes that feel different almost every day. From subtropical valleys and pine forests to dry Himalayan terrain near Thorong La Pass, this classic trekking route offers a genuine experience of Nepal beyond the busy cities.
Our 13-day guided Annapurna Circuit Trek from Kathmandu is carefully designed for travellers who want a well-organised and comfortable trekking experience with experienced local support throughout the journey. Whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, with friends, or as a family, this fully guided tea house trek allows you to experience the Annapurna region safely whilst enjoying local culture, mountain hospitality, and spectacular Himalayan views.
The journey takes you through beautiful Gurung, Thakali, and Manangi villages, ancient monasteries, riverside trails, apple orchards, alpine landscapes, and finally across the legendary Thorong La Pass (5,416m), one of the highest trekking passes in Nepal.
Unlike rushed trekking itineraries, this route includes proper acclimatisation, comfortable overnight stops, and reliable local guidance to help you enjoy the experience at a steady and enjoyable pace.
Organised by experienced local trekking specialists in Nepal, this Annapurna Circuit package includes accommodation, permits, meals during the trek, porter support, transportation, and local guidance — allowing you to focus fully on the journey itself.
Why Travellers Choose Our Guided Annapurna Circuit Trek

This trek is especially suitable for:
- Solo travellers looking for a guided and supported trek
