Annapurna Circuit Trek |
 |
|
Annapurna circuit trek gives you an opportunity
to explore himalaya experience of your life time. This trek is one
of contrasts between the green terraced farmland of the
Marshyangdi valley and the semi-arid environs of Lower Mustang.
The two areas are separated by the Thorong La (5416m), which we
must cross on a long day, to reach the sacred site of Muktinath.
The temple complex is a pilgrimage site for both Hindus and
Buddhists and when seen from here the sunrise on Dhaulagiri is
particularly striking. We descend into the world's deepest river
gorge, carved by the mighty Kali Gandaki, as it slices between the
Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massifs. The river is followed to the
relaxing hot springs at Tatopani before ascending to Poon Hill for
our last sunrise over the Annapurnas. |

Difficulties of the Trek |
Since the terrain can be hard and the days long,
hikers on these treks should be in good physical condition and
have some previous mountain walking experience. But It does not
require any technical experience. Steep climbing may be involved,
although it is never necessary to use ropes. |
