The Annapurna & Dhaulagiri Trek is one of Nepal’s most spectacular trekking routes, offering close-up views of two of the world’s highest peaks: Annapurna I (8,091 m) and Dhaulagiri (8,167 m). The trek passes through scenic rhodedendron forests, terraced farmland, and Gurung villages, offering travelers a rich cultural experience.

Starting from Besisahar or Pokhara, trekkers journey through peaceful valleys, rivers, and forests, crossing high passes that reveal stunning Himalayan vistas. The route showcases the unique blend of Nepalese culture and Himalayan wilderness, including traditional villages, ancient monasteries, and local hospitality.

This trek is suitable for moderately experienced trekkers and those seeking a multi-day adventure in a less crowded yet incredibly scenic region. Highlights include panoramic views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Machhapuchhre, and Dhaulagiri, as well as rich cultural immersion in local Gurung and Magar villages.
