Few
place in the world such a splendid variety of natural beauty as
the Annapurna region. It is rare combination of long array of snow
capped peaks, crystal clear lakes, turbulent rivers with deep gorges,
hot springs and picturesque villages inhabited by simple and friendly
local people. This three-week trek takes you far way from the road,
in to the heart of the high mountains.
It
is said that Annapurna Circuit/Round is one of the famous trekking
routes in the world. The trek around the Annapurna Massif is one
of the finest in the Himalayas and is reguarly described as one
of the top ten treks in the world It is observed that about 64%
of the trekkers who come every years Nepal for trekking visit Annapurna
regions of Nepal. So it is the most trekked area of Nepal.
Annapurna area/region offers a great variety of beautiful landscapes,
nature & culture of the central Himalayan area of Nepal with
the best & splendid Himalayan panorama of Mt. Annapurna, Mt.
Fishtail, Mt. Manaslu, Mt. Nilgiri, Mt. Hiun Chuli and several other
mid western Himalayan ranges of Nepal . From the heights of the
pass we descend to Muktinath and its scared Buddhist and Hindu Shrines.
Further south, the contrasts of the Nepal Himalaya become even more
apparent, as high windswept passes are replaced by forests, or mandarin
and banana groves. Finally we trek out of the gorges and look back
to the peaks of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, before traversing
the forest ridges down to Pokhara.
On
the way we would have passed through every type of vegetation zone
from lush sub-tropical to harsh semi-desert and passed over one
of the highest trekking passes in the world. We will have entered
a world without roads or cars and witnessed the way people have
worked, played and survived for hundreds and hundreds of years.
We would have essentially walked through a time warp coming out
the other side with a deeper understanding of ourselves and the
world we live in.
