Annapurna Circuit Trek, Nepal



This Himalaya range is situated in central Nepal and is one of the most spectacular trekkings in Nepal.
The Annapurna trek reaches 18,000 feet above sea level, but through most of the trek the vegetation is lush. Once you reach the top, ice-capped mountains greet you and it is an extremely serene feeling.
The trek begins in the southeastern town of Besisahar at 2,690 feet (820m) and ascends to the highest point, Thorung Pass at 17,769 feet (5,416m).  It then descends to Tatopani at 3,937 feet (1,200m) and peaks again for another ascent to Poonhill at 10,499 feet (3,200m).  Thereafter it’s all downhill to the final town of NayaPui at 3,510 feet (1,070m). The majority of trekkers hike in this direction, but more adventurous  choose the opposite approach.
We didn't encounter much trouble during the h trek as we had a knowledgeable guide who helped us throughout the trek.
On every himalaya trekking I take, I ensure that we have a local guide as otherwise one could easily get lost.
