Planning to enjoy celebrate the holi festival in Nepal? This festival this year is on 13th March.
All good things come in small packages. One example that perfectly justifies this saying is our Short Annapurna Circuit Trek package. This Short Annapurna Circuit Trek itinerary, starting in Kathmandu, takes trekkers around the Annapurna massif and brings them back to Kathmandu to end the trip in just 15 days. But, this 15 days gives trekkers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to immerse themselves in the beauty of breathtaking mountain vistas (including the two highest mountains, Dhaulagiri and Annapurna I, in the world), phenomenal and aesthetically pleasing landscapes that comprises of mountains, valleys, hills, plains and plateaus and the rich history and vibrant culture of people that have attracted and fascinated trekkers and explorers for generations.
Despite the length of the trip, trekkers and explorers will still not miss out on the major attractions, like the historical and religious site in the Kathmandu Valley, largest apple orchard of Bhratang, the exceptional views of Annapurna and Gangapura from Ghyaru and Ngawal, Thorung La Pass (5,416 meters), temple of Muktinath (pilgrim site for both Hindus and Buddhists, Lubra Valley/Village-where the residents still follow and practice Bonism, the views of Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri from Mustang, the stark contrast in the lifestyle, culture, religion, tradition and housing style of the people inhabiting this fantasy land from start to finish and the natural and man made attractions of the Pokhara Valley. But, these attractions are just to name a few, the trail offers much more than one can imagine, before embarking on this journey.

Like the regular 19 days Annapurna round trek, this trek starts with a drive to Chame from Kathmandu. The journey from Chame to Lubra via Pisang, Ngawal, Manang, Ledar, Thorung Phedi, High Camp, Thorung La Pass and Muktinath will be completely on foot. However, cutting the trip short, the journey onward to Jomsom, Pokhara and then back to Kathmandu will be in a vehicle again. Thus, the Short Annapurna Circuit Trek can be taken as the mini version of the regular Annapurna Circuit trek in Nepal.
The best time to embark on this journey is when the landscape comes alive, that is, March to May and October to December. This trek is perfect for anyone looking for a moderately challenging trek that can be accomplished in around two weeks time or for trekkers who are bound by time.
