The Classic trekking in Nepal in the Annapurna Region Trekking is Annapurna Circuit Trekking. The Annapurna Circuit Trekking in Nepal is opened from 1980 when the Manang area was officially opened. Annapurna Circuit Trekking is started from the lush Marshyangdi valley that separates the Annapurna range from that of Manaslu, the scenery is composed of lush cultivated fields with dense forests or either side. The Thorong La Pass, at 5416m, the highest point of the Annapurna Circuit Trek which the trail joins the Kali Gandaki River that flows through the deepest on earth. The crossing of Thorong La Pass can be dangerous at sometimes, during unexpected snowfall so potential trekkers must take sure that they are well prepared and equipped for all eventualities.
Most of the trekkers start by taking Bus/Car /Hiace to Besisahar and from Besisahar to Bhulbhule , trekkers can share jeep or can be reserved , it will take 8-10 hours to reach Bhulbhule. Few days of the trek follow the Marshyangdi through scattered farming communities inhabited by a mixture predominantly composed of Gurungs with a sizeable number of Brahmin communities. Higher still, the snowy peaks of the Annapurna and Manaslu ranges dominate the skyline. The main feature of Annapurna Circuit Trekking is the number of high water falls that cascade down into the main river. After some days on the trek the river, which has been flowing from the north changes its course and flows from the west. By the time the district headquarters of Chame has been passed the hills are becoming more and more barren and the people predominately Manangba . Look for number of ancient temples, some of which represent the pre – Buddhist, Bon religion. From Manang, the trail passes through high alpine pastures until the small cluster of teahouses at Thorong Phedi is reached. An early morning start from here will allow you to reach Thorong La by mid morning and then start the long descent across the screed slopes to Muktinath before the afternoon cloud sweeps in. We suggest, this whole section has no permanent settlement and shelter is hard to find so trekkers should never travel alone this section. Muktinath, a renowned and holy pilgrimage site for both Buddhists and Hindus, is the first major settlement reached after the crossing of Thorung La.
There are many routes of possible side trips that can be combined with the Annapurna Circuit Trek like Annapurna Base Camp Trekking, Upper Mustang Trekking and Ghandruk Ghorepani Trekking. On the trail of Annapurna Circuit Trekking goes up to the high altitude lake at Tilicho. Himalayan Asia Treks – A local leading Trekking Agency is operating different trekking package in Nepal.
