Classic Annapurna Circuit Trekking 18 Days

Classic Annapurna CircuitAnnapurna Circuit trek is one of the great trekking route in the world, making a complete circuit of the huge Annapurna Massif in central Nepal; this trek provides dramatic mountain scenery and a fascinating life of local people and culture. Trek Start from Besisahar we head north up the Marshyangdi Valley, through lush green foothills and terraced rice fields. Climbing higher we progress through alpine forests to a dry desert region and the Tibetan Buddhist village of Manang. The mountain views are fantastic, Lamjung, Himalchuli, Manaslu and the Annapurnas tower spectacularly over the valley. The highlight of this trek is crossing the famous Thorung La pass (5416m) to enter the Kali Gandaki Valley and the long descent to the Hindu temple at Muktinath. We continue down through the deepest gorge in the world before climbing to Ghorapani. Awaking early we ascend Poon Hill (3210m) for a sensational sunrise with views of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna. Our return to Pokhara takes us through delightful villages and ends at Pokhara known as city of Natural beauty.
