Trekking
in the Annapurna region
is the best approach
to have a close look
at the formation of
mysterious nature's
wonders which have
facilitated this region
to be highly concentrated
trekking spot amongst
the world since 1977
when it was first
time opened for the
foreigners. This circuit
of Annapurna offers
more variety than
any other walk of
equivalent length,
and takes us through
virtually every type
of scenery that Nepal
has to offer. There
are superb views of
Annapurna and Dhaulagiri,
and the constant variety
of landscapes ranges
from sub-tropical
through alpine to
an arid semi-desert
akin to Tibet; at
the climax of the
trek there's a formidable
5416m. pass, the Thorong
La, to cross.
This
is a lodge-based trek,
so we spend time in
villages inhabited
by many of Nepal's
different tribes,
both Buddhist and
Hindu. Every day brings
opportunities to gain
an insight into the
local culture and
interact with the
local communities
whose land we are
walking through, whether
by bartering for souvenirs,
talking to the inquisitive
children or relaxing
at a tea house.
Though
it is certainly demanding
enough for the seasoned
trekker, the Annapurna
Circuit is still an
excellent introduction
to walking in Nepal
for those who are
confident of their
fitness.
