| Annapurna
Circuit |
A
classic Himalayan trek with all that trekking in Nepal has to offer
– a high mountain pass, the world’s deepest valleys, the high and
wild desert plateau of western Tibet, monasteries, pristine forests
and people as diverse as Tibetan Buddhist lamas and Hindu villages.
|
|
| This
great circuit of the Annapurna begins at Besi Sahar and climbs through
terraced hillsides and wooded ridges as you ascend the Marshyangdi
Valley. As you walk, the peaks of Manaslu, Himalchuli an Lamjung tower
above – a taste of peaks to come! Forest gives way to high altitude
meadows and windswept ridges as you enter the region of Manang- your
first real slice of Tibetan culture and landscape. |
| |
| The
walking pace slows to allow for safe acclimatization and a rest day
in the tiny village of Manang allows time to explore the great glacier
of Gangapurna and to prepare for the crossing of the famed Thorong
La Pass (5395m). The rewards for your efforts in reaching the top
are extraordinary – a view south across the entire Annapurna range,
north onto the wild plateau of western Tibet and west across the forbidden
land of Mustang. |
| |
| A
well-earned rest day at the village of Muktinath on the western side
of Thorong La allows time to recuperate and to explore the hallowed
Vishnu temple of Jiwala Mayi before walking back to Pokhara down the
spectacular Kali Gandaki Valley – the deepest gorge on earth – with
Annapurna 1 and Dhaulagiri soaring above. |
