Annapurna Circuit Trek combines some of the most spectacular mountain scenery, providing a fascinating insight into the modern Mountain life of Nepal and known as one of the best Nepal trekking destiantion.The Annapurna region in Nepal is the most popular trekking destination with four of the world's highest mountains, and the world's deepest valley within its boundaries. Gateway to the region is the lovely lakeside town of Pokhara, an idyllic place to relax after a long trek. This trek travels around the entire Annapurna massif, visiting the Tibet-like country on the northern slopes of the Himalaya and the dramatic Kali Gandaki Gorge. Much of the trek is through lowland country, but there is one high pass, Thorung La. The pass is not difficult, but this is still a long trek at high elevation. You should be aware that you might have to return to Dumre if it is impossible or dangerous to cross Thorung La because of snow or altitude sickness ( Mosaic Adventure Team would give you utmost help in that situation). There are years when the weather allows it to stay open, but Thorung La is usually snowbound and closed from mid-December to mid-March.
