Annapurna Trips

The Annapurna range offers a very different hiking trip to the Everest region. The former is home to the Annapurna Sanctuary – a natural amphitheatre ringed by mountain giants – and the view from Poon Hill. The latter has Everest Base Camp, the Sherpa heartland and the hilltop monastery at Thyangboche. The Everest region is perhaps more stark and rugged, as most of the trekking there is above the tree line. That said, the Annapurnas are probably the most accessible 8,000m range in the world, and contain some of the most spectacular treks on the planet, including the famed Annapurna Circuit.

The foothills are just a short drive from the lake town of Pokhara, and Annapurna tours in these lowlands are suited to most walkers. What you cannot escape in either place is the fabulous warm hospitality of the Nepali people and the superb support of our experienced staff on the trek.

As an Exodus staff member (Customer Operations) who has had Nepal on her bucket list for many years, I found this trip to be a wonderfully well-rounded introduction to Nepal, offering the perfect blend of culture, walking, and wildlife. Hiking through the foothills of the Annapurna range delivers breathtaking mountain scenery without being overly technical, while the time spent in Chitwan National Park adds an entirely different dimension with unforgettable wildlife encounters. Throughout the journey, we experienced genuine Nepalese hospitality and gained a meaningful insight into local life, culture, and traditions.

Courtney Kuhn Annapurna to Chitwan: Walks & Wildlife

This trip was unforgettable! Many people choose to do the Annapurna Circuit on their own and they mainly follow the Jeep track, which didn’t appeal to us. We were so happy and grateful that we decided to go with Exodus – we had the best guides! Sukman and his assistant guides Dipendra and Lakpa Sherpa were fantastic.

We had knock knock tea in the mornings – loved that part, and followed a mix of alternate trails (that weren’t well known) with certain sections along the main Jeep track. On those quieter trails, we rarely encountered other trekkers and definitely no other tour groups. We did pass herds of goats and met local people. We only saw other people along the main jeep track.

Two days before reaching Thorong La Pass, we had heavy snow. Thanks to Sukman’s expertise, he made the difficult decision to backtrack immediately. Many trekkers without guides, or those who chose to wait out the storm, ended up stranded at high camp and had to be rescued. We were fortunate to make it safely off the mountain in time, though it meant rerouting the second half of our trip. Even with the detour – we thoroughly this trip thanks to the amazing team. The porters were also incredible companions. Without them, carrying all of our belongings for three weeks would have been tough!!

Bee A Annapurna Circuit Trek

The most stunning trek you can imagine. The Himalaya’s really are great cathedrals of nature. Walk alongside 3 of the top 10 peaks in the world, with an itinerary set up to ensure you succeed at altitude and make it over the amazing Thorong La Pass at 5,416m. Most competitors do the trek in 2 weeks, missing large sections or not acclimatising properly – the 22 day version means you complete (just about) everything.
