What's this trip about?

    Once in a lifetime, everybody does a trek in a remote region, but only a few do a circuital trek in the Annapurna Region, making their trek as an initiative trek. This trek has a lot of highlights, and one of these is Tilcho Lake, one of the highest lakes in the world, situated at an altitude of 4000 m plus. When you see this lake added to your trek itinerary, something valuable is created that cannot be compared to any beauties in the world. The up trekking trail; the down trekking trail takes you somewhere that you have never expected, such as the world's deepest gorge. The same trekking trail becomes tiring, but captivating, as it takes you to the top of the Thorong La Pass from where you will see the ever beautiful scene. Above all, it takes you to the region where you see everything that you have decided to see from your home country; it takes you to the heart of the Annapurna Region. When you reach the heart, you don't see the profile, you see all sorts of nature, such as subtropical woodlands, dry arid landscapes, amazing mountain peaks, the Tibetan plateaus, and unbelievable beautiful lake. Besides, there are paddy fields, astonishing rivers-waterfalls, majestic view of Manaslu and Himalchuli, and beautiful Manang District. Last but not least, there is Muktinath, the spiritual hub of the Hindus, Buddhist, and Jains. Apart from these religions, it also welcomes the Christians.
