 This "classic" journey around the massif
of the Annapurna Himal starts with a drive to Beshishahar
- in the lowland paddy fields steadily gaining altitude
leading up the Marsyangdi River Valley passing through
oak and pine forests and eventually emerging into
high desert country at Manang (3597m.) through the
villages of Chamje, Bagarchap, Pisang to cross the
Thorung La Pass (5416 m). The descent is equally amazing
and varied. The trail then switches over to the Kali
Gandaki River valley and descends through the villages
of Muktinath, Jomsom and Ghorepani to terminate in
Pokhara giving you enough time to observe the people
and their customs. Lowland, farming communities of
Brahmin and Chettri people of Aryan stock give way,
slowly, to the highland trading communities of Magar,
Gurung and Bhotia people of Mongoloid stock. As the
people change, so does the dominant religion. Close
up views of the Annapurna range, varied ecosystems,
diverse cultures and an ever-changing landscape -
lush, green paddy fields and oak forests, arid deserts
and the deepest gorge in the world make this one of
the most popular treks in the world.
