Short Description of Annapurna
Circuit
The high point of the trek entails crossing of the
5414m high Throng Pass, from the arid valley of the
upper Manang, home of Tibeto- Buddhists, down to the
Hindu pilgrimage site of Muktinath, and the Kali
Gandaki valley, the world's deepest river gorge,
before heading down to Pokhara. Besides the mountain
views, we encounter on this trek a variety of
mountain communities of the Gurung, Manangi and
Thakali people.
Annapurna region is best described as the most
happening incentive trekking destination of Nepal.
The Annapurna Circuit Trek has been proved as a
highly praised and spectacular trekking route in the
Annapurna region since it opened to foreign trekkers
in 1977. This three weeks trek starts right from
Besishahar and goes along the Marshyangdi River,
with great view of Manashlu and Himal Chuli to the
east. This magnificent trek leads you to the fine
village inhabited by a wide diversity of people from
different ethnic groups, offering spectacular and
majestic view of the white Himalayas. As it
continues to the north of the main Himalayan range
on to the high and dry Tibetan Plateau, the scenery
is equally breathtaking.
The highest point of the trek is Thorungla pass at
the top of the valley at 5416m high. Due to the
difficulties of crossing the pass, the circuit is
usually walked in a counter clockwise direction.
Traveling clockwise the longer ascent and shorter
descent from west to east is too much for many
peoples to manage in one day. To top it all, the
crossing of the Thorong La pass (5,416m) is a
challenging ascent, surrounded by some of the most
magnificent. |
