The Annapurna massif is encircled by Annapurna Circuit Trek including a new trekking trail (NATT) which avoids the road. We do trek anticlockwise for safe acclimatization before we are pushing to the high Thorong La 5416m pass that connects Marshyangdi and Kali Gandaki River valleys in Manang and lower Mustang in the Annapurna Conservation Area.
Besishar or Nadi is the trailhead of the Annapurna Circuit in the Marshyangdi valley. We walk throughout various villages, multi-culture and ethnic diversity, paddy fields, into subtropical forests, waterfalls and gigantic cliffs, etc. 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 Fishtail, etc.
We visit the ancient Braka Monastery into the Manang valley. We hike up a couple of days’ side trips to Tilicho Lake (4919m) after we spent two nights for safe acclimatization in the Manang village. Tilicho Lake is one of the most popular side trips on the Annapurna Circuit.
We visit monasteries and Hindu Temples in Muktinath and Kagbeni and descent through the world’s deepest gorge – Kali Gandaki valley after the Thorong La pass. We enjoy Hot spring bath at the bank of 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 of Gurung ethnic where we experience the Gurung culture with the views of Mt. Fishtail (6993m).
The trek ends in the Nayapool. We do travel to Pokhara and Kathmandu by bus.
