Your elegant 2-week excursion through the Annapurna Circuit begins through the 8: Trek River Valley. It offers the charming beauty of Annapurna, including green forests, waterfalls, and local communities. The Tibetan Buddhism of Manang further justifies the worth of this alluring journey.
The most fascinating part of the round-trip Annapurna trek lies on the day you cross through the Thorong La Pass to observe the stunning Annapurna white peaks and the surrounding area. The arid part of the Lower Mustang region is another side of the trek beyond Annapurna. Various places such as Muktinath and Kagbeni along with the windy Kali Gandaki Valley also garner attraction from trekkers.
You'll meet the Lower Annapurna Route as you ascend to Ghorepani via Sikha, before hiking to Poon Hill. The Annapurna Circuit consistently changes in both altitude and geography. Local lodges with continental kitchens have contributed themselves along the duration of the route, helping this become the superb trek that it is.
