What's this trip about?

    This trek travels around the 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. With bad weather, the pass can be difficult, and this is still a long trek at high elevation. The change of scenery at the top of Thorung Pass and the remains around the sacred area of Muktinath are extremely interesting. The many hotels and teahouses along the course make camping equipment unnecessary. We have also combined this trip with Ghale Gaon. A unique experience of Nepalese Culture and lifestyle, Ghale Gaon is home to Ghales, the famed Gurungs, the legendary mid-hill people of western Nepal. Travellers say, “They come to Nepal for the mountains, but return for the people.” Besides the extravaganza of the peaks, the warm and sincere hospitality of the Gurung, Manangi and Thakali people along the way is bound to captivate and touch you
