The Annapurna ,Trek is
one of the world’s best and classic treks that offer three different options:
Jomsom trek, Annapurna Sanctuary and Annapurna Circuit. The
Annapurna region is home to Annapurna Himalayan range that includes Annapurna
I(8091m),Annapurna III(7555m),and Annapurna South(7219).The geography here
varies from sub tropical forest of pine and rhododendron to barren Landscape.
The trek passes through the world’s deepest valley along Kali Gandaki River and
ancient trade route between Nepal and Tibet.Poon Hill(3210 m)is a perfect view
point to see the fantastic scenery of Himalayan ranges.Thorang-la at 5416 m, one
of the highest Himalayan passes, is major highlight of Annapurna Trek.
Thak Khola which lies
between Tatopani(a popular hot spring)and Ghasa,is the ancestral place of
ethnic Thakalis whose architecture is visible in Gompas and traditional houses,
particularly along the towns of Khobang,Tukuche and Marpha.The ancient fortress
of Jharkot is a attractive place to visit along side Jhong khola and
Gompa.Muktinath,One of the mostly revered and visited religious sites by
Buddhists and Hindus features 108 water spouts and eternal natural flame. The
Annual Horse Racing festival called Yartang is a major attraction of Muktinath.
The valley of Manang,which in many ways reflect trans Himalayn landscape,is a
jewel in the crown still hidden from mass tourism and treasure trove of rare
culture and pristine nature. more
