AROUND
ANNAPURNA TREK 21 DAYS
Annapurna
1 (8,091 m) was the first eight-thousander
mountain in the world to be climbed. This
trek takes us all around the mighty mountain
in an anti-clockwise direction to return to
Pokhara over the Muktinath trail ' Tremendous
close-up views of Annapurna, the north face
of Gangapurna, Nilgiri and a number of smaller
peaks are the main attractions of this trek.
The high point on the walk is Thorung-]a Pass
(5,416 m). We will be trekking across forested
hills and over the windblown desert terrain
of the Tibetan plateau "behind"
theHimalaya - passing a string of exotic villages
inhabited by various ethnic groups. We drive
from Kathmandu to Besisahar over the road
which branches off from the highway to Pokhara
and then start walking. Following the raging
Marshyangdi upstream, we move from green hills
to bare rocky trails and over the Thorung-la
to Muktinath and down the Kali Gandaki Gorge
to Pokhara. This is one of the most spectacular
and satisfying trekking trails in Nepal which
fills you with a feeling of accomplishment.
