Walk completely around the Annapurna accumulation. Trek through low land Brahmin and Chhettri villages to the remote Manang village, and down the Kali Gandaki George (officially deepest George in the World). Cross a 5416m pass-probably the highest you will ever get without climbing a mountain.
This 18-day trek offers the widest range of experiences we have ever encountered, and for this reason it has become most popular trek in Nepal. It passes through country inhabited by a wide diversity of peoples, offers spectacular mountain scenery and goes far north of the Himalayas to the Tibetan Plateau. Altitudes of 5416m are reached, and a high level of physical health and fitness is necessary.
The journey begins in Besisahar town, where, for the first 7 days we will trek through the fluent rice paddies, lush jungle and hospitable villages of the Annapurna Conservation Area. The awe-inspiring views of Mt. Manaslu (8187m) and the Annapurna range provide a dramatic backdrop for the preliminary stages of this trek. An alteration day will be spent in the Tibetan village of Manang (3500m), where we will be able to observe Buddhist monks in worship at one of the many magnificent monasteries of this area. A side trip will also be taken to the icy Gangapurna Lake and the awesome Gangapurna Glacier, a photographer's paradise! We continue ascending to the Throng La Pass (5416m), from where we can enjoy spectacular views of Mustang Peak and the snow-covered giant; Dhaulagiri (8167m). Arriving in village of Muktinath, we will be able to see the celebrated Hindu pilgrimage site of Muktinath Temple with its 108 spring water taps and the mysterious natural gas fires. We descend, following the breathtaking Kali Gandaki River Valley.
Jomsom at an altitude of 2713m is the eventual purpose of this trek where our hiking excursion gets an end. A night rest at this point is more commendable in a sense that the countryside view settle down your all tiredness both mentally and physically. The next day, a 20 minutes scenic flight takes you another picturesque town - Pokhara which undoubtedly offers many things of tourist's alike within a very limited area. Anyone with sound health can join this trek since this trek has been set on the basis of slow hike speed to get full acclimatization with a view to enable our clients to get definitive fun of trekking in this Himalayan paradise.
