Annapurna Circuit Trek information
Annapurna Circuit trek is a world-class trek in Nepal. Annapurna Circuit is a trek within the central Himalayan range of Nepal. The total length of the full Annapurna trek is 160 km to 230 km. It depends on where the motor services are taken and where you would like to end the trek. The trek starts from Beshisahar and ends at Tatopani. However, motor services are available from Muktinath to Pokhara.
The Annapurna Circuit Trek is a moderate-level trek in the western part of Nepal. This trek consists of two river valleys: Marshyangdi River (Manang) Valley and Kaligandaki valley. Both valleys are significantly beautiful in terms of diverse landscapes, local culture, and, of course, flora and fauna.
Annapurna Circuit Trek meets Kaligandaki Valley after the Throng-La Pass (5,416 m). After steep descents to Muktinath, many people visit the temple and monastery around the area to worship. To hide the crowd on the way to Marpha, I suggest you trek via Lupra village. This is the only existing Bon village in the Annapurna region.

Shall I buy online or directly with a local company?
There are several outbound trekking companies in the world. But in my personal opinion, buying with local experts is much cheaper and more convenient for all clients. If you buy any tours or treks with an outbound company, you may not get the value of your money. So buying with a local company will surely deliver the value of the money you paid for.
