Annapurna Circuit Trekking
- Duration : 16 Days Trip
- Altitude : 5416 M
USD$1450USD$1200- starting price
The Annapurna Circuit Trek is another best trekking destination in the world, which includes a wide variety of village scenery, waterfalls and falling rivers. The naturally blessed aspects along with different ethnic groups residing in the region like Gurung, Manangi, and Thakali makes it more beautiful. The circuit certainly has wonders, providing breathtaking views of the white Himalayas and Thorong La Pass at a height of 5,414 m.
The circuit also trails around the arid valley of upper Mustang down to the Hindu pilgrimage of Lord Muktinath along the banks of the Kali Gandaki Valley. The change in the weather and the winds will welcome you across the hills to a different city; Jomsom as you start walking from Besisahar. The Annapurna circuit trail is also very calming and less difficult. Nevertheless, the trek is recommended for trekkers looking to visit Nepal in a limited budget.

There was a stunning mountain vista from here. We will arrive at Manang, which has an elevation of 3,540m.
Day 9
Day of acclimatization in Manang
Today is an acclimatization day, so it's ideal to stay active, ascend to higher elevations for sights, and then descend to lower elevations for bed. Manang itself is in a beautiful area and has a lot to offer. The town is home to lakes, caverns, moraine hills, monasteries, and local attractions.
