10-Day Annapurna Circuit Trek in Nepal

The classic trek in the Annapurna region is the Annapurna Circuit. The complete circuit has only been possible since the mid 1980’s when the Manang area was officially opened up to non-Nepali visitors. For an all-round experience of the scenery and cultures of Nepal this trek has a lot to offer. Starting in the lush Marshyangdi valley, that separates the Annapurna range from that of Manashlu,the scenery is composed of luch cultivated fields with dense forests on either side. In the winter season, orange trees are laden with fruit and fragment frangipani blossoms cast their scent along the trails. As you travel higher the valley becomes more rugged until the villages and forests finally give way to the arid hills of Manang. The thorong La pass, at 5416 meters, marks the high point of the trek after which the trail joins the Kali Gandaki River that flows through the deepest gorge on earth..
