Adventure Thorang-La Pass (Annapurna Circuit) Trek |
|
An overview |
|
Supposed to be
one of the best trails for the trekkers. Few places in the
worlds have such a splendid variety of natural beauty as the
Annapurna region. It is a rare combination of long arrays of
snow capped peaks, crystal clear lakes, turbulent rivers with
deep gorges, Tibetan monasteries, hot-springs, and picturesque
villages inhabited by simple and friendly local people.
From the verdant lowlands, through lush subtropical forests, to
alpine meadow and on to the barren, wind-swept Tibetan Plateau,
You will see it all! You will experience the lifestyles of
diverse ethnic groups along the trail, which follows ancient
trading routes and passes through prosperous trading villages.
Add the crossing of the 17,700 -ft. Throng La Pass, and you have
the perfect adventure. Beginning at only 500m from Beshishar,
near historic Gorokha, The trail leads north along the
Marshyangdi river valley, while the peaks of Manaslu, Himalchuli
and Lamjung Himal soar above. The lush forest of this region is
a complete contrast to the arid northern terrain ahead.
Acclimatize in the colorful Buddhist valley of Manang, home of
the shrewd Managi traders. Crosses the Thorong LA and descend to
Muktinath. Here, eternal blue flames of natural gas are revered
in Buddist and Hindu temples, to which pilgrims journey from
afar. From here the trail descends into the deepest river gorge
in the world, the kali Gandaki, and trek all the way to pokhara
through busy villages, banana groves, mandarin orange orchard,
green forest and terraced hillside. Taking natural bath at
Tatopani (Hot Spring) is also wonderful experience. Finally you
will be trekking to Birethanti and drive to Pokhara. |
