The trek "Annapurna Circuit"
also popularly known as "Annapurna
Round". This is one of the classic
and most rewarding treks in the Himalayas
. It provides an opportunity to explore
the scenery of both the southern and northern
Himalayas . You can encounter rhododendron
forests, the thin Tibetan Highland atmosphere
as well as many ethnic groups on the way.
Trekking north, we acclimatize
at the important trading village of Manang
(3351 m.) before crossing the Thorong-La
(5416 meters). When you reach the pass,
line after line of snow ridges stretch
before you while far below lies the sub-tropical
Kali Gandaki Gorge.
From the heights of the
Pass we descend to Muktinath and its sacred
Buddhist and Hindus shrines. Further south,
the contrast of the Nepal Himalaya becomes
even more apparent as forests or mandarin
and banana groves replace high windswept
passes.
Finally we trek out of
the gorges and look back to the peaks
of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri before
traversing the forest ridges down to Pokhara
