Annapurna Circuit Trekking
Annapurna Circuit Trek has been proved as a highly praised and spectacular trekking route in the Annapurna region since it opened. Annnapurna Circuit Trek goes along the Marshyangdi River, with great view of Manashlu and Himal Chuli view. As it continues to the north of the main Himalayan range on to the high and dry Tibetan Plateau, the scenery is equally breathtaking.
The highest point of Annapurna Circuit trek is Thorong La pass (5414m.) high. Due to the difficulties of crossing the pass, Annapurna Circuit trek is usually walked in an anti-clockwise. Trekking clockwise the longer ascent and shorter descent is considered a hard day to manage in one day.
After crossing the Thorong La (5414m.), the trail follows Kali Gandaki valley, the world's deepest gorge, passing between the giant Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains. After you cross the Thorong La pass, the trek gradually descend down. Once you arrive in Tatopani, you will enjoy the Natural hot Spring and hike to Ghorepani, the best view point.
