Overview
The Annapurna panorama trek is a short trek route in the heart of Annapurna massif that provides unlimited views of wonderful scenery. Panorama trekking in the Annapurna includes the tallest mountains, river, amazing landscape, lush forests, and valleys.

The highest elevation of Annapurna hikes is ultimately Poon Hill Tower. Annapurna Panorama treks offer a supreme sunrise over the Annapurna Himalayan ranges.

Exploring Ghorepani, Poonhill, Tadapani, and Ghandruk is the most rewarding section to get admirable mountains to view over the Himalayan horizon. They are the best hill stations to take Annapurna panorama photographs. If you are a photographer and have no longer than a week’s time to trek Annapurna then the panorama journey is idle for you.
Incredible Annapurna view is a cheap trek near Pokhara town and is a combination of short hikes into the depth of Annapurna. Furthermore, travelers can experience the Gurung and Magar ethnic communities. Tourists can experience their typical culture and lifestyles. The top panorama of Annapurna view treks is even more interesting in the March and April months (spring season) as the whole forest along the trail turns red, pink, and white with rhododendron flowers.

Annapurna Panorama Trek Review
Annapurna Panorama Journey with Gokyo Treks Agency.
We got a chance to know Ammar from some of our hiking friends in the Alps. Me and my wife were curious to know to visit the Annapurna mountains and for a 3 years, we were making a plan to go there.
Luckily, we got a 2 weeks holiday from our job and book the Annapurna panorama journey with Gokyo Treks and Expedition agency in Kathmandu. I thoroughly recommend them for their excellent service, genuine friendliness and hospitality and not least because of their very reasonable prices.
Ram was a fantastic guide, who runs the show, is a delightful man. He bends over backward to make sure his guests have well looked after. Nothing is too much trouble for him. Given that I had back pain problems, I had some initial concerns as to whether I could make it up the mountains, but Ram was extremely flexible with the itinerary and could modify details to suit us at the last minute. I would like to thank our guide and Dipendra our friendly porter. Ammar, the owner of the agency was super friendly and responsible all the time, and without them, we wouldn’t have made it to the Annapurna Panorama journey.
In addition, I do believe this company is considered trusted and offers cheaper treks than most others out there. Don’t hesitate to contact them for a great trip for a lifetime!
Response from Gokyo Treks Nepal
Thank you so much.
Impressive Annapurna Panorama Journey
My Travel made and I hiked the ABC trek through Gokyo Treks and it was a wonderful experience.
We were very thankful for our guide Lila, as he took great care of us. Our experience would not have been the same without him, especially as it was during monsoon season and we had to take a few detours because of rain.
Gokyo treks is a reputable and honest company, and they did everything they could to make our trip the best possible. I would highly recommend!
Amazing trip to Annapurna
Being a novice trekker Gokyo’s organized trek with extremely helpful and encouraging guides Shree Ram and Bude waiba porters made it a very memorable experience. Would highly recommend them to anyone who wishes to trek in Nepal, especially at a very reasonable price without any compromise on the quality!
