This classic 18 day trek completely around the famed Annapurna Massif
offers the most diversity of any trek in Nepal: fascinating ethnic
groups each with their own language, incredible views of many of the
Himalaya’s most famous high peaks, and constantly changing panoramas –

to Tibetan fortresses clinging to rocky cliffs.

2. Starting with a drive to Besisar we ascend along the Marsyangdi river
valley. We pass beneath snowcapped Annapurnas II, III and IV and a
range of 6,000m. peaks stretching north to Tibet. Crossing Thoroung La
pass 5418m. to reach the holy shrine of Muktinath. We then descend
into the mighty Kali Ghandaki Valley – the deepest river valley on the
face of the earth – 7000m deep between Dhaulagiri and Annapurna. At
the end we trek through a wonderful rhododendron forest on the
Gorepani Ridge and the picturesque Gurung villages before finishing
back in the Pokhara Valley.
As this is one of the most popular trekking routes in Nepal many
lodges catering to the needs of the trekkers have sprung up all along
this trail and we will be staying in one of these lodges every night.
Apart from being able to enjoy homely comforts we will have the added
advantage of being guests to families of different ethnic people
typical of this area. The Manang and the Kali Gandaki valleys lie
along an ancient trade route between India and China, and a variety of
ethnic peoples have settled here: Newars, Chettris, Gurungs, Manangeys
and Thakalis.
