Annapurna Circuit & ABC Trek |
 |
|
Trek Cote : NEPAL/PTT/TK 10 ( 23 Night 24 Days)
|
The classic trek in the
Annapurna region is the Annapurna Circuit. The complete circuit has
only been possible since the mid 1980’s when the Manang area was
officially opened up to non-Nepali visitors. For an all round
experience of the scenery and cultures of Nepal this trek has a lot
to offer. Starting in the lush Marshyangdi valley, that separates
the Annapurna range from that of Manashlu,the scenery is composed of
luch cultivated fields with dense forests on either side. In the
winter season, orange trees are laden with fruit and fragment
frangipani blossoms cast their scent along the trails. As you travel
higher the valley becomes more rugged until the villages and forests
finally give way to the arid hills of Manang. The thorong La pass,
at 5416 meters, marks the high point of the trek after which the
trail joins the Kali Gandaki river that flows through the deepest
gorge on earth.
This is a challenging trek that is not without some risks. The
crossing of Thorong La can be dangerous at times, especially during
unexpected snowfall so potential trekkers must make sure that they
are well prepared and equipped for all eventualities. The trek can
be completed in a minimum of 16 days, starting in Kathmandu and
finishing in Pokhara. If a few extra days are allowed for it is then
possible to enjoy several of the possible side trips and add
immeasurably to the experience.
