The Annapurna massif is encircled by the Annapurna Circuit Trek, including a new trekking trail (NATT) that avoids the road. We trek anticlockwise for safe acclimatization before we push to the highest point at Thorong La 5416m, which connects the Marshyangdi and Kali Gandaki River valleys in Manang and lower Mustang in the Annapurna Conservation Area.
Besisha or Dharapani is the trailhead of the Annapurna Circuit Trek in the Marshyangdi Valley. We walk through various villages, multi-cultural and ethnic diversity, paddy fields, subtropical forests, waterfalls, and gigantic cliffs. We can see close views of Mt. Manaslu I (8163m), Pisang Peak, Chulu East and West, Annapurna II (7856m), Annapurna III (7555m), Annapurna IV (7545m), Gangapurna 7555m, Tilicho Peak, South Annapurna (7219m), Annapurna I (8091m), Dhaulagiri (8167m), Gurja Himal, Hiuchuli and Machhapuchhare.
We will visit the ancient Braka Monastery in the Manang Valley. After spending two nights in the Manang village for safe acclimatization, we will hike up a few days’ side trips to Tilicho Lake (4919m). Tilicho Lake is the world’s highest-altitude fresh water and one of the most popular side trips on the Annapurna Circuit Trek.
We visit monasteries and Hindu Temples in Muktinath and Kagbeni and descend through the world’s deepest gorge—Kali Gandaki Valley—after the Thorong La pass. We then enjoy a Hot spring bath at the bank of the Kali Gandaki River at Tatopani.
We get up to Poon Hill’s Viewpoint bypassing Ghara, Sikha, and Ghorepani villages. It is the best Viewpoint in the Annapurna region.
We walk through the Rhododendron forest to reach Gandruk village. It is the largest village in the Gurung ethnic group, and we experience the Gurung culture from the view of Mt. Machhapuchhare (Fishtail 6993m).
The trek ends in Nayapool.
We do travel to Pokhara and Kathmandu by bus.
