Around Annapurna trek heads around the whole Annapurna circuit, enjoying
three major mountains The Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Manasalu Himal above
8,000m. Visit the Tibet-like country on the northern slopes of the Himalaya
and the impressive Kali Gandaki Gorge. There is one Pass named Thorong La
5416m in boundary for Manang and Mustang. The pass is not difficult, but
this is still a long trek at high elevation.
Around Annapurna trek begins with a drive to Besisahar or Bhulbhule,
ascending along the Marsyangdi river valley. We exceed below snow-capped
Annapurna II, III and IV and a range of 6,000m peaks widening north to
Tibet. Crossing Thorung La pass to attain the holy shrine of Muktinath then
slide down into the potent Kali Gandaki Valley. Trek through a magnificent
rhododendron forest on the Gorepani Poonhill ridge and the charming Gurung
villages Ghandruk at the end of the trek.
Around Annapurna trek also expends a few days walking up to Tilicho Lake
area in the upper Manang valley. This high altitude hostile lake is only
two days far from the main path even though Tilicho Lak is still an
unexplored or nearly virgin destination; very few trekkers venture here.
