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.
The Annapurna circuit offers the
greatest diversity of flora, fauna
and landscape of any trek in Nepal.
From sub-tropical to alpine forests,
from lush jungle to arid wind-swept
valleys, few other treks enable
you to walk through such a changing
environment. From Kathmandu we
cross fertile, terraced valleys,
following the Marsyangdi River.
We
acclimatize at the important
trading village of Manang (3351
m.) before crossing the Thorong-La
(5407 m.).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. One
of the most striking significance
of this trek is that we have
a spectacular view of most mountains
range every day.
