A comprehensive trekking guidebook to the Annapurna region - the most popular trekking area in Nepal. Fourteen diverse treks are described including the classic Annapurna Circuit and the Annapurna Sanctuary as well as treks in the lesser known Machhapuchhre area, the foothills of Lamjung Himal and restricted areas - Mustang, Damodar and Nar-Phu.
A guidebook to 4 treks in Nepal’s Annapurna region, including Annapurna Circuit and Annapurna Sanctuary, plus 10 other routes covering the Machhapuchhre region, Parbat Myagdi, northeast Pokhara, the foothills of Lamjung Himal, and the restricted areas of Mustang, Damodar and Nar-Phu.


Routes range from 4 to 23 days and are graded by difficulty, from easy-moderate to moderate-strenuous. Most involve altitudes of over 3000m, with the Annapurna Circuit ascending to over 5400m.

Healthy and safety

A wealth of cultural information, plus history, plants and wildlife

Siân Pritchard-Jones and Bob Gibbons met in 1983, on a trek from Kashmir to Ladakh. Since then they have been leading and organising treks in the Alps, Nepal and the Sahara. They work in Kathmandu every winter and always relish returning to the Annapurna region, one of their favourite trekking haunts.
