14-day trek around the Annapurna massif, one of the most beautiful walks on Earth: subtropical valleys giving way to Tibetan-influenced villages, the high desert of Manang, and the crossing of the Thorong La before descending into the pilgrimage town of Muktinath. Porters carry the loads, comfortable teahouses provide hot meals and real beds every night — no camping, no technical skills, just good boots and a steady pace. A real high-altitude adventure built for trekkers, not mountaineers.
