Annapurna circuit trek is a round about trek to the Annapurna Mountain region that takes you on a scenic tour of geographically and culturally diverse topographies that unfolds towards the isolated hamlets , zigzag roads, villages, rhododendron forest to a high pass called Thorong La pass.

Annapurna circuit trek  brings you to remote lands of Manang region, unfolding the spectacular display of arrays of mountains such as Mount Annapurna2,4, Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri mountain, Lamjung himal, Pisang peak and heads towards the deepest gorge of the World called Kali Gandaki gorge.

Throughout the Annapurna circuit  trek you have to cross some suspension bridges above the flowing rivers and pass by paddy fields, waterfall region, forest paths and unwind to narrow steep valleys and Tamang villages where you can see the lovely apple orchards before climbing up to the Yak Kharka.

The next phase  of Annapurna circuit trek is walking above the meadows and pastures and reaching a high pass up above the ridge. The trail leads to the holy pilgrimage spot of Hindus and Buddhist devotees at Muktinath temple. There are 108 water spouts that provide running waters.
