Annapurna Circuit Treks

This describes the classic trail around one of the most beautiful of the Himalayan massifs – the Annapurnas. The trail begins at the middle-hills village of Besi Sahar on the Marsyangdi River and follows the river all the way from the Brahmin-Chettri-Gurung settlements to that of the Tibetan Buddhistic regions of Manang. The high point is the crossing of the Thorong La at 5416m into the Kali Gandaki Valley, stopping at the famous shrine of Muktinath then continuing along the river to Tatopani through Thakali settlements, Magar and Gurung villages back into Pokhara.
