Annapurna Circuit Trek |
 |
|
The classic trek in the Annapurna region is
definitely the Annapurna circuit. The complete circuit has only
been possible since 1980s when the Manang area was
authoritatively opened to foreigners. For an all-round
experience of the scenery and cultures of Nepal, this trek has a
lot of attraction. During the winter season, orange trees are
laden with fruit and fragrant frangipani blossoms caste their
sent along the trail. As you travel higher, the valley becomes
more rugged until the village and forests finally way the arid
hills of Manang. This is challenging trek that is not without
some risks. The crossing over Thorong La can be dangerous at
times, especially during the unanticipated snowfall. Therefore,
trekkers must have to make sure that they are well prepared. |
