Annapurna Circuit Trek:

The classic trek in the Annapurna region is definitely the Annapurna circuit. The complete circuit has only been possible since 1980s when the Manang area was authoritatively opened to foreigners. For an all-round experience of the scenery and cultures of Nepal, this trek has a lot of attraction. During the winter season, orange trees are laden with fruit and fragrant frangipani blossoms caste their sent along the trail. As you travel higher, the valley becomes more rugged until the village and forests finally way the arid hills of Manang. This is challenging trek that is not without some risks. The crossing over Thorong La can be dangerous at times, especially during the unanticipated snowfall. Therefore, trekkers must have to make sure that they are well prepared.

Highlights of the Trekking:

Spectacular views of Annapurna, Manaslu, Dhaulagiri ranges, fascinating landscapes of Mustang, Muktinath temple (Hinduism and Buddhism), Manang, Marpha, Braga village, large numbers of monasteries, Kaligandaki gorge etc.
