Annapurna region is best described as Nepal’s most happening incentive trekking destination. That’s why the Annapurna Circuit Trek has been a highly praised and spectacular trekking route in the region since it opened to foreign trekkers in 1977. This three weeks trek starts from Besishahar and goes along the Marshyangdi River, with a great view of Himalayan ranges such as Mt. Manaslu, Himal Chuli and many more.
This trek leads you to the traditional village’s settlement with a wide diversity of the local community people from different ethnic groups, offering spectacular and majestic views of the white Himalayas. The scenery is equally breathtaking as it continues north of the main Himalayan range onto the high and dry Tibetan Plateau.
The trek’s highest point is Thorung La, at 5416m. Due to the hardships of crossing the pass, this trek starts counterclockwise.
As you descend to Muktinath from Manang, you will continue to the barren Tibetan settlement of the Kali Gandaki river. Once you arrive in Muktinath, take a local jeep to Tatopani, start your trek again to Poon Hill, and reach Pokhara.
