Looking for challenging trekking in the wilderness of the Himalayas? Annapurna Seven Passes Trek is a challenging trekking adventure that can perfectly suit the adventure bug in you. It offers the wilderness of the mountains at its best and a daring trekking challenge that takes you over seven high mountain passes.
Initially, the adventure follows the Annapurna Circuit trail and goes towards the remote valley of Nar and Phu. It continues into the quiet wilderness of the mountains and high passes and eventually ends at Jomsom. Unlike popular trails, this trek offers more challenges during the trek. Unmarked trails, camping parts, high passes, and wilderness without more humans around make this trek quite challenging. You have to be quite strong mentally and fit physically to go on the adventure.
A long and arduous trek that takes you to the high altitude of the mountains, this adventure will be good for you if you have done a challenging trek before. It can be quite challenging mentally to spend days and nights at a place where you do not see any human settlements. You need to be well-prepared for the adventure carrying camping gear, food, and sometimes some climbing gear like crampons are necessary. Good preparation and a strong desire to do this trek will make this adventure a beautiful experience for you.

What is security like during trekking?
Security for our clients is always a foremost priority for us. All our guides and other support crew are carefully chosen for your trips. Our guides hold licenses issued by the Nepal Government. They are very honest and reliable. But we would also advise you to take care of your own personal belongings. If you are on ‘camping treks’ please do not leave your bags unattended at any time for your own safety. Take your main bag inside the tent once you reach the campsite. At night, all bags and belongings are kept in the middle of the tent. Your guide assigns a Sherpa on a rotation basis to guard the campsite throughout the night. If you are on a ‘Tea house or GAP trek’ arrangement, you will be sleeping in local teahouses. You need to take sensible precautions yourself at all times. Never leave your baggage unattended and keep your lodge room locked when you go out.

Depending on the prevailing situation, you can modify it to some extent after consulting with your senior guide. However, the date of trek completion should always coincide with the original itinerary. You should keep in mind that this is an adventure trip into some of the most remote regions in the world, where many unforeseen circumstances may contribute to the need for a change in itinerary. In such cases, we or your guide will suggest the best alternative similar to your original itinerary.
