Annapurna Circuit Trek with Throng La Pass

Annapurna Circuit trek is one of the most classic and rewarding treks in Nepal. The Annapurna Circuit passes through southern slopes of Manaslu and Annapurna ranges that are heavily settled and farmed except the higher regions which support thick forests of Rhododendron and fir. Most of the tribes inhabiting this area are Gurungs, Magars, Chettris, and Newars. Thakali and Mustang tribes control the busy trading and pilgrimage trail along the Kali Gandaki. One of the most striking significance of Annapurna Circuit Trek is that you have spectacular views of most of the mountains in this range every day.

On the other hand Annapurna Base Camp is a natural amphitheater ringed by Annapurna South and Annapurna I, Barahashikhar, Gangapurna and the holy mountain Macchapuchre (Fish Tail). The first few days are spent traveling through quaint villages and lush forests before reaching more barren and rugged terrain.
