18 days Annapurna Circuit Trek. Grade: Demanding
This
"classic" journey around
the massif of the Annapurna Himal starts with a drive to Beshishahar - in the
lowland paddy fields steadily gaining altitude leading up the Marsyangdi River
Valley passing through oak and pine forests and eventually emerging into high
desert country at Manang (3597m.) through the villages of Chamje, Bagarchap,
Pisang to cross the Thorung La Pass (5416 m). The descent is equally amazing and varied. The trail then
switches over to the Kali Gandaki River valley and descends through the villages
of Muktinath, Jomsom and Ghorepani to terminate in Pokhara giving you enough
time to observe the people and their customs. Lowland, farming communities of Brahmin and Chettri people of
Aryan stock give way, slowly, to the highland trading communities of Magar,
Gurung and Bhotia people of Mongoloid stock. As the people change, so does the
dominant religion. Close up views of the Annapurna range, varied ecosystems,
diverse cultures and an ever-changing landscape - lush, green paddy fields and
oak forests, arid deserts and the deepest gorge in the world make this one of
the most popular treks in the world.
