Annapurna Region, Nepal

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Annapurna Region is a mountainous area in north-central Nepal, home to the Annapurna massif — one of the world's highest mountain ranges, with Annapurna I reaching 8,091 metres. It is one of the most popular trekking destinations on earth, drawing hikers to iconic routes like the Annapurna Circuit and the Annapurna Base Camp trail, which wind through dramatic landscapes of subtropical forests, high-altitude desert, and glacial terrain. The gateway city of Pokhara serves as the main staging point for expeditions into the region. Travellers come for world-class trekking, paragliding over Phewa Lake, rich Gurung and Thakali cultural experiences, and close-up views of the Himalayas.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek 7 Days — Self-Launched

A self-launched version of Sherpa Expedition Teams' 7-day Annapurna Base Camp trek, starting and finishing in Pokhara. You walk the same classic trail — Ghandruk, Chomrong, Bamboo, Deurali, Machapuchare Base Camp and ABC itself — staying in teahouses and eating dal bhat, carrying your own pack or hiring a porter locally in Pokhara. No group, no fixed departure: buy your ACAP permit and TIMS card yourself at the Nepal Tourism Board office in Pokhara, take the local bus to Kimche/Nayapul, and follow the well-signed, well-teahoused trail. Costs below are realistic budget estimates for a solo traveller in GBP, assuming you organise everything yourself and move independently rather than tagging onto a guided group.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Annapurna Region, Nepal yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
