Annapurna & Jomsom

You start your trek from Besishar and follow well-maintained trail through Marsyangdi valley to Manang. Ascend the steep and often snowy trail that leads to 5335m Thorangla (pass), and then descend to Muktinath and to Jomsom. The trail continues to descend to Tatopani (hot spring). You trek further to a beautiful village called Ghandrung before you finish trek at Pokhara. Next day, travel by tourist bus to Kathmandu. Low mountain range and tropical vegetation gradually disappear as you reach higher elevation. As the trek circumnavigates the entire Annapurna massif you come across many villages of different ethnic groups, beautiful waterfall and, panoramic view of entire Annapurna and Dhaulagiri range. People living at higher elevation are Buddhist and at lower region there are Hindus. Major parts of the trail are easy walk except the section from Phedi (Manang) to Thorang pass is quite demanding. This trek terminates at Pokhara.
