The classic trek in the Annapurna region is
definitely the Annapurna circuit. The complete
circuit has only been possible since 1980s when
the Manang area was authoritatively opened to
foreigners. For an all-round experience of the
scenery and cultures of Nepal, this trek has a
lot of attraction. During the winter season,
orange trees are laden with fruit and fragrant
frangipani blossoms caste their sent along the
trail. As you travel higher, the valley becomes
more rugged until the village and forests
finally way the arid hills of Manang. This is
challenging trek that is not without some risks.
The crossing over Thorong La can be dangerous at
times, especially during the unanticipated
snowfall. Therefore, trekkers must have to make
sure that they are well prepared.
