This trek completely around the famed Annapurna Massif offers the most diversity
of any trek in Nepal: fascinating ethnic groups each with their own language,
incredible views of many of the Himalaya's most famous high peaks, and
constantly changing panoramas - from lush, tropical rice paddies and moss-laden.
There are Rhododendron forests to Tibetan fortresses clinging to rocky cliffs
which will definitely stun you. Starting with a drive to Besisahar you ascend
along the Marsyangdi river valley. You pass beneath snowcapped Annapurnas II,
III and IV and a range of 6,000m.peaks stretching north to Tibet. You cross
Thoroung La pass (5418m.) to reach the holy shrine of Muktinath. You then
descend into the mighty Kali Gandaki Valley - the deepest river valley on the
face of the earth - 7000m deep between Dhaulagiri and Annapurna. At the end you
trek through a wonderful rhododendron forest on the Gorepani Ridge and the
picturesque Gurung villages before finishing back in the Pokhara Valley.
As this is one of the most popular trekking routes in Nepal many lodges catering
to the needs of the trekkers have sprung up all along this trail and you will be
staying in one of these lodges every night. Apart from being able to enjoy
homely comforts you will have the added advantage of being guests to families of
different ethnic people typical of this area. The Manang and the Kali Gandaki
valleys lie along an ancient trade route between India and China, and a variety
of ethnic peoples have settled here: Newars, Chettris, Gurungs, Manangeys and
Thakalis. |
