The New York Times recently covered the future of the Annapurna Circuit, perhaps one of the well-known famous hikes for trekkers in the world. In Nepal, this 150 mile, 20+ day hiking loop, will likely have much of the route accessed by car in 2012, which will likely ruin the whole vibe of the circuit. Until now, the only way to access much of the circuit, and the remote villages was on foot. It’s a gorgeous hike, filled with remote villages, big rivers, suspension bridges, exotic cultures, porters, donkeys, pilgrims, and trekkers leisurely enjoying this remarkable route. Some trekker say this is perhaps one of the best treks in the world. If you can visit Nepal sooner than later, we highly recommend it, as the road will likely change much of the experience. Embark does offer trips on the Annapurna Circuit.

Embark finds the Annapurna circuit one of the most remarkable treks in Nepal. Fortunately, Nepal has so much more to offer the trekker that we hope to continue to find new routes, new villages, in areas like Mustang which are less visited by tourists. Until now.
