Annapurna Circuit

The trail goes on a circuitous route around the entire Annapurna massif, visiting the Tibet-like landscapes on the northern slopes of the Himalaya and the dramatic Kali Gandaki Gorge. It is the classic long-distance route in Annapurna. Walk up the Marsyyangdi Valley and down the Kaligandaki Valley crossing Thorong La, a 5416m pass. The trail over the pass is steep but in good shape and not hard to follow. Here one is really midst of the mountains. However, be aware of altitude sickness and be prepared for weather extremes as the Thorung La is notorious for changing its mood. The pass is often snowbound and sometimes un-crossable between mid-December and mid-February. This long and strenuous trail wanders through a whole range of bioclimatic zones from subtropical to alpine, inhabited by distinct ethnic groups mostly with a Hindu or Buddhist religious background.
