Details
This moderate trek begins just from Beshisahar and finishes at Pokhara and goes through a variety of villages including Gurung, Magar, and Thakali. It is not overly difficult and the terrain passes through the monsoon rainforest and the rhododendron forest is one of the beautiful experiences. The mountain views are full of natural splendours with views of the Fishtail, Annapurna I, II, III, South, Tent Peaks, and others. This trek is regarded as one of the best treks that offers so much distinct sensation.
The Annapurna Circuit – rightly known as Nepal’s classic trek – offers more variety than any other equivalent length trek, taking us through virtually every type of scenery that Nepal has to offer. There are superb views of the Annapurnas and Dhaulagiri peak, and an amazing variety of landscapes ranging from sub-tropical through alpine to an arid semi-desert akin to Tibet. The climax of the trek is crossing the formidable Thorong La pass (5416m). This is a lodge-based trek, so we spend time in villages inhabited by many of Nepal’s different tribes, both Buddhist and Hindu. There is also a chance to visit our Tree Nursery in the Upper Manang Valley. Though demanding enough for seasoned trekkers, this trek is also an excellent introduction to walking in Nepal.
