Annapurna Circuit Trekking |
|
Annapurna circuit trek gives
you an opportunity to explore himalaya
experience of your life time. This trek is one
of contrasts between the green terraced farmland
of the Marshyangdi valley and the semi-arid
environs of Lower Mustang. The two areas are
separated by the Thorong La (5416m), which we
must cross on a long day, to reach the sacred
site of Muktinath. The temple complex is a
pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists
and when seen from here the sunrise on
Dhaulagiri is particularly striking. We descend
into the world's deepest river gorge, carved by
the mighty Kali Gandaki, as it slices between
the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massifs. The river
is followed to the relaxing hot springs at
Tatopani before ascending to Poon Hill for our
last sunrise over the Annapurnas. |
