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