Nepal Hiking Team has designed Annapurna Circuit Trek separating good days for acclimatization. The trek’s major highlights include Manang valley, Thorong La Pass, Muktinath, Kali Gandaki gorge, and Jomsom.
Manang valley is an isolated valley in the Annapurna region with desert-like wild terrain. It is inhabited by ethnic groups people such as Tamang, Gurung, and Magar, who mostly follow Buddhism. The isolated valley is the best place to admire the views of mountains like the Chulu range, Gangapurna, Tilicho Peak, Kangaru Peak, and Throng peak.
Similarly, Thorong La Pass is the highest pass globally that offers majestic views of mountains in the Annapurna region. It is marked by a few heap of stones and prayer flags. Crossing the pass, we reach a famous spiritual hub of both Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims – Muktinath. It consists of a Gompa and the temple of Lord Vishnu. There is an ever-burning flame that lights up with natural gas. The views of the mountains from this place are also awe-inspiring. Next, we descend to the deepest gorge in the world – the Kaligandaki gorge. The environment is wild and deserted, but it will lead us to the warm and lively town of Jomsom.
