Nepal (Annapurna Region)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Annapurna Region in north-central Nepal is one of the world's premier trekking destinations, dominated by the Annapurna massif — home to Annapurna I (8,091 m), the tenth-highest mountain on Earth. The area is best known for the Annapurna Circuit and the Annapurna Base Camp trek, drawing tens of thousands of hikers each year through dramatic landscapes ranging from subtropical forests and terraced rice paddies to high-altitude glaciers and barren Himalayan plateaus. Pokhara serves as the main gateway city, offering a lively traveller scene on the shores of Phewa Lake. Beyond trekking, the region attracts paragliders, mountain bikers, and those seeking exposure to traditional Gurung and Thakali village cultures.

Muldai and Khopra Trek — Self-Launched

A self-launched version of the 14-day Muldai Peak & Khopra Ridge trek in the Annapurna region — the quieter, less-crowded alternative to the Annapurna Base Camp circuit. You'll take a tourist bus Kathmandu–Pokhara, a local bus/shared jeep to Nayapul, and then walk independently through Ghandruk, Tadapani, Bayli Kharka, Upper Chistibung, Khopra Ridge, Swanta, Ghorepani and Poon Hill, sleeping in teahouses each night. No guide required: the route is well-marked and teahouses are plentiful, though you must sort your own TIMS card and ACAP permit in Kathmandu or Pokhara. Costs below are rough backpacker estimates; a porter or guide (approx £18–22/day) can be added if you want support.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Nepal (Annapurna Region) 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: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
