Annapurna Round Trek

The 10-Day Annapurna Round Trek or Annapurna Circuit Trek starts from Chame after a drive from Kathmandu to Besishahar and Chame. The trek goes along the Marshyangdi River, with a great view of Manaslu (8163m.) and Peak 29 to the east. Starting from less altitude, it gives us a chance to explore the Himalayas from bottom to top and from many different angles and perspectives and it supports to acclimatize your body. We walked through rice farms, forests, and friendly villages belonging to the lower realms of the Annapurna Conservation Area.

Reaching Pisang village, we have a choice of trails north or south of the Marsyangdi River which meet up again at Mungji. The southern route by Humde, with its airstrip, at 3325m involves less climbing than the northern route via GhyaruNgawal though there are better views on the trail that follows the northern bank of the river. As it continues to the main Himalayan range onto the high and dry Tibetan Plateau, the scenery is equally breathtaking.

The village of Manang (3,500m/11483 feet) marks the beginning of the next stage, where a day will be spent acclimatizing to the higher altitude. Several excursions in the area can help the acclimatization process by visiting various monasteries or viewing, Gangapurna LakeIce LakeKhangsar village, and Milerepa Cave.

The highest point of the trek is Thorong La Pass (5416m / 17768 feet). After climbing up, the pass is marked by the Mani stone and prayer flags. As you reach the top, you are rewarded by the magnificent view from the top and then we walk down to Muktinath with amazing mountains. The sacred Muktinath temple has 108 waterfalls that resemble water flowing from taps and mysterious natural gas fires that boggle the mind.

Annapurna Round trekking via Muktinath, Jomsom, and the apple orchards of Marpha Thakali village, we now enter the Kali Gandaki Gorge, the deepest in the world between the giant Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Himalayan ranges. It is optional to add the trek gets interesting in Tatopani where you will have the opportunity to relax in natural hot springs where you get relief from your tiredness and pain. The climb Poonhill (3210m/10531 feet) is rewarded awesome view of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges with the best sunrise. Now we trek down to Hile via Ullerri Magar village.

The original Annapurna round trek was 3 weeks. After the construction of the road. You can do this trek in a short Annapurna round trek (4 days drive and 6 days trek).

Annapurna trek with Harka

In October 2007 we did the Annapurna trek with Harka, which was a fantastic experience. In 20 days Harka guided us from one magnificent place to the other. During the trek Harka provided us with a lot of information about the region and the people we met. Harka’s experience made it a challenging but safe and feasible trek, by keeping the pace to a level that suited our physical condition. In the evening we rested and played many card games with Harka surrounded by the worlds highest peaks, drinking tea and eating cookies. It was an unforgettable experience, which we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
