The Annapurna Circuit Trek, Nepal : October 16 - 30
This fabulous 11-day trek covers 120km through the stunning Himalayan Annapurna range, following ancient paths used as trade routes between Nepal and Tibet. It’s the ‘big one’ for G4G in 2009 and will require training, stamina and perseverance, but the breathtaking scenery will be ample reward for your efforts.
We will trek between 7km and 19km per day, from Besi Sahar to Jomson, with an acclimatization day in Manang before the tough test of this challenge - the Thorong La pass, 5415m, which touches the edge of the fabled Tibetan plateau.
As the path ascends from 900m to over 5000m, we’ll pass through a wide range of climatic zones and see diverse plants, animals, landscapes and the different ways of life of the many people who live there.
Each campsite is surrounded by magnificent mountain scenery, including Annapurna (the first 8000m peak ever to be climbed), the huge ice pyramid Dhaulagiri, and Machhupuchhare, considered by many to be the most beautiful mountain in the world.
We will also visit the New Youth Children’s Development Society near Kathmandu, to see for ourselves the wonderful work they are doing for the most needy children of the region. A full itinerary is available on
