Annapurna Circuit Trek

admin — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 06:53:57 +0000

Widely acclaimed as one of the world’s most popular treks, the route begins with a dirt road that extends up valley of Beshisahar. Much of the way to Khudi makes use of this dirt road. The first part of the trek makes easy walking. The trek links the valley of the Marshyangdi river with that of the Kaligandaki making a long horse shoe loop of the Annapurna Himal. Thorong La is the climax of the trek and one can gain Himalayan experiences going through subtropical to alpine and ultimately an arid semi-desert plateau- Mustang region. 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.

Highlights:
# Panoramic mountain views, forests of oak, maple, rhododendron, Tibetan settlements, glaciers, lakes, hot springs, apple orchards.
# Muktinath is home to the holy Vishnu temple with the miraculous fire in the stream of water.

Machhapuchchhre Trek

admin — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 06:36:05 +0000

This trek offers the opportunity to escape Nepal’s tourist trails to venture in to the deep forests and roam the high alpine pastures that flank the Annapurna ranges.
