Annapurna Region Trek

Annapurna Region lies in the western part of Nepal. This area is dominated by the Annapurna Himal and the village of Pokhara. Also this region has covered 5 districts of Nepal which are Kaski, Baglung, Mustang, Manang and Lamjung. There are three major trekking routes in central and western part of Nepal. Annapurna Trekking Trails begin from Beshi Sahar of Lamjung and head to Manang which passes thorong la, then get to Muktinath. This is route of Pisang Peak, Chulu West Peak, Chulu East Peak too.

These routes begins from Pokhaara to Jomsom to Annapurna santuary, Mustang trek, Round Annapuna trek and other nar phu valley, tilicho lake trek and out from Besi sahar. Pokhara is also a good starting place for short treks of one to four days, including the "Royal" trek, which is described here.

Mustang is also geographically a part of the Annapurna region, but because treks to Mustang are subject to special restrictions, this is described it in the separate page on restricted area treks. About two-thirds of the trekkers in Nepal visit the Annapurna region.

The area is easily accessible, hotels in the hills are plentiful, and treks here offer good scenery of both high mountains and lowland villages.
