Annapurna Circuit

This was my first trek ever in Nepal and one of my best experiences in the mountains. It is still regarded by many as one of the world's best walks. After time to explore the delights of Kathmandu it is time to drive to the village of Beshishahar where you start walking north up the Marsyangdi River. The peaks of Manaslu, Lamjung HImal and Himalchuli soar above while you trek through lush forests and as you climb the terrain becomes more arid. At the Buddhist village of Manang you will have time to acclimatise before the ascent to the Thorung la. Once over the watershed you descend to the village of Mukhtinath and on to Pokhara through the steepest gorge in the world, the Kali Kandaki Gorge which separates the Annapurna Himal from the massif of Dhaulagiri. You then have some time to relax by the shore of Pewa Lake before the flight back to Kathmandu.
