The Annapurna Circuit

Annapurna region is best described as the most happening incentive trekking destination of Nepal. The Annapurna Circuit is a popular name for a trek within the Annapurna mountain range of central Nepal. The trek rises to an altitude of 5,400m on the Thorung La pass, touching the edge of the Tibetan plateau.

This three weeks trek starts right from Besishahar , goes along the Marshyangdi River and concludes in the Kali Gandaki gorge, with great view of Manashlu and Himal Chuli to the east. Besisahar can be reached after a seven hour drive from Kathmandu. The trail passes along paddy fields and into subtropical forests, several waterfalls and gigantic cliffs. This magnificent trek leads you to the several fine villages inhabited by a wide diversity of people from different ethnic groups, offering spectacular and majestic view of the white Himalayas. As it continues to the north of the main Himalayan range on to the high and dry Tibetan Plateau, the scenery is equally breathtaking.

The high point of the trek entails crossing of the 5414m high Thorong La Pass, from the arid valley of the upper Manang, home of Tibeto- Buddhists, down to the Hindu pilgrimage site of Muktinath, and the Kali Gandaki valley, the world’s deepest river gorge, before heading down to Pokhara.
