Round
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.
