To start the Annapurna Circuit trek, most travellers fly into Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital, where you can organise permits and gear. From Kathmandu, you’ll usually take a domestic flight or a scenic, sometimes bumpy, drive to Pokhara — the main gateway to the Annapurna region. From Pokhara, it’s a few hours’ drive to the trek’s starting point, often Besisahar or Dharapani, depending on your chosen route.

Along the way, you’ll pass through charming villages, terraced fields, and stunning mountain scenery as you begin your adventure.

The Everest Base Camp trek starts in Lukla, a mountain town reached by a short flight from Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital.

From Lukla, the trek continues through scenic villages up to Everest Base Camp.
