The Annapurna Panorama Trek is vibrant in the Annapurna area. The path takes you through patchwork valleys, deep mossy forests, and ice waterfalls where you may cool yourself. Every turn reveals a tempting peek of the high mountains, entire vistas of which will be shown to you when you reach the high points of your journey.
The early morning stroll from your guesthouse in Ghorepani to the vantage point on Poon Hill highlights the journey (3210m). Sunrise views of Dhaulagiri (8167m), Annapurna South (7291m), Annapurna I (8091m), and Tara Kang may be had from here (from west to east) (7069m).
The expedition provides panoramic sights of the Himalayas. The vistas of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges are breathtaking. Walking amid breathtaking nature in an unusual setting adds spectacular grandeur to the vacation. You will appreciate the cultural grandeur of the highlands in addition to the splendor of nature. The small villages along the walking path are lovely representations of regional life.
The Gurung villages of Ghandruk and Landruk, as well as other communities, provide a wonderful cultural experience. The sounds of water in Modi Khola, which flows downstream from Annapurna Base Camp, will also appeal to you. Despite not walking much in the river valley, you will cross the route on both sides of the river. The walking journey begins in Nayapul and ends in Dhampus. And you'll enjoy everything from nature to culture, mountains to dawn, and all in between. If you are planning a trek in Nepal, this is the most fantastic option for short-term tourists.
Mid Feb to May and Oct to mid-Dec.

Frequently asked questions
You should be comfortable walking for several hours a day on uneven ground, with some steep climbs. Regular cardio and hill walking in the weeks before you travel makes a big difference. Ask us if you are unsure about a route.
Most mountain routes need permits and park or area entry fees. We arrange the ones your route needs; the quote lists what is covered.
Walk slowly, drink plenty of water and sleep lower than the highest point you reached that day. The itinerary includes acclimatisation time where the route needs it. Tell your guide straight away about headache, nausea or dizziness. If symptoms get worse, the safe response is to descend.

It was an excellent and memorable trip arranged by creative adventure. We were 15 family members planned for pilgrimage trip but later combined adventures too for the sake of our kids. From the arrival and till departure, Ramesh Ji ‘s support was excellent. He was able to reach even at night for some emergencies. Excellent vehicles were provided and especially kind and experienced drivers were arranged. Because of the change in climatic conditions , our flight got cancelled and we were supposed to do road travel. We afraid a lot but the drivers were really experienced and helped us a lot in all aspects. Food arranged in hotels were really good. ( Only concern was they could have separated veg n non veg in different places n not on the same counters). Especially chef in landmark Kathmandu was so kind n prepared food specially for us. Cultural village in Janakpur also provided homely n decent food. We had a great n enjoyable trip all over. Thanks Ramesh Ji for arranging everything. We definitely recommend Creative adventure to everyone.
