Pokhara Lakeside Retreat

The Annapurna Circuit is the trek that taught the world to love Nepal. Over twelve days you'll trace a hand-cut trail from sub-tropical rice terraces to a windswept 5,416m pass, sleeping in stone teahouses where the same family has cooked dal bhat for four generations. The Circuit is a transect through three climates and a dozen ethnic groups — Gurung herders, Manangi traders, Tibetan refugees — each with their own gods, festivals, and ways of brewing tea.

"It is not the mountains we conquer but ourselves."
