During the Annapurna Circuit Trekking, you encircle the majestic Annapurna massif. Also known as the Round Annapurna Trek, it was nominated as one of the best trekking trails in the world. The trekking provides unmatchable experiences of walking through a river valley and to the arid zone of the high Himalayan landscape, including the adventure experience of crossing over the high Himalayan pass.
Annapurna Circuit Trek starts from Jagat after a long and tiresome drive from Kathmandu or Pokhara. The trail goes along the Marshyangdi River Valley, starting at a lower altitude and advancing to a higher elevation.
The adventurous trek bestows the spectacular beauty of the Himalayan peaks in the Dhaulagiri massif, Annapurna massif, Lamjung Himal, and Manaslu range, in which three peaks above eight thousand meters are located. Not only the scenic beauty, but the trek also confers the challenging task of walking through a high Himalayan alpine arid zone with less oxygen and crossing over the high Himalayan pass called Thorong-La (5,416 m/17,769 ft) from one valley to another.
Annapurna Circuit Trek, also known as Thorong La Pass Trek, undeniably gives you a chance to experience the multicultural life of Nepal with various ethnic flavors. The majority of people, places, and shrines in the higher Himalayan region belong to the Buddhist philosophy, and the lower settlements of the mid-hill region and the river banks are filled with Hindu philosophy. Once nominated as the best trekking trail in the world, Annapurna Circuit trekking is a wonderful amalgam of adventure, culture, and nature.
