Annapurna region is the most beaten trekking region in Nepal due to the easy access, developed infrastructure for lodging & fooding, likewise moderate kind of trails except one pass called Thorang Pass. Thus any people believe that the trekking around Annapurna is the classic one. It offers not only some of the most breathtaking scenery in the Himalayas, but between the lush irrigated valleys of the massif to the south and the high arid country to the north.
The starting point this trek is Besisahar on the Kathmandu-Pokhara highway. This tour offers excellent views of Machapuchare (Fishtail 22,942ft/6,993), Lamjung Himal (22,904ft/6,981m), Annapurna II (26,033ft/7,935m), Annapurna IV (24,682ft/7,523m), Annapurna III (24,780ft/7,553m) and Gangapurna (24,452ft/7,453m) on the north and west. Manaslu (26,752ft/8,154m), Peak 29 (25,699ft/7,833m) and Buddha Himal (21,884ft/6,670m) dominate the eastern skyline.
The trekking route passes through different ethnic communities and cultures e.g. Brahmin/Chhetri to Gurung then to Thakali, Thakali to Magar and back to Brahmin/Chhetri. Thus you will experience too many cultures and cultural groups in one tour within a few days.
Crossing the Thorang Pass (17,764ft/5,415m) from Manang is a long but gradual climb through grassy meadows and high yak pastures. We also visit Muktinath temple which is equally respected and worshiped by Hindus and Buddhist.
