ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREK
From the World's deepest Gorge to the World's Highest Peaks
21 days - The world's highest mountain range - The world's deepest gorge
This is truly one of the world's classic walks!. Your reward for taking on this endeavor? Views of three of the world's highest peaks - Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Manaslu. Our trail follows the Marsyangdi River all the way to its source, the glacial lake in Manang. Through picturesque farming villages and terraced fields of rice and wheat, we will make our way from the lush sub-tropic lowlands to the high and wild landscape of the giant Himalayan peaks. We make the steep ascent over the Thorung La Pass, which rewards us with spectacular views of the magnificent snow-capped peaks. We descend back to Pokhara via the holy site of Muktinath and through the Kali Gandaki River Valley, the world's deepest gorge.
