This classic 18 day trek completely around the famed Annapurna Massif offers the most diversity of any trek in Nepal: fascinating ethnic groups each with their own language, incredible views of many of the Himalaya's most famous high peaks, and constantly changing panoramas - from lush, tropical rice paddies and moss-laden Rhododendron forests to Tibetan fortresses clinging to rocky cliffs.

Starting with a drive to Besisar we ascend along the Marsyangdi river valley. We pass beneath snowcapped Annapurnas II, III and IV and a range of 6,000m. peaks stretching north to Tibet. Crossing Thoroung La pass 5418m. to reach the holy shrine of Muktinath. We then descend into the mighty Kali Ghandaki Valley - the deepest river valley on the face of the earth - 7000m deep between Dhaulagiri and Annapurna. At the end we trek through a wonderful rhododendron forest on the Gorepani Ridge and the picturesque Gurung villages before finishing back in the Pokhara Valley.

As this is one of the most popular trekking routes in Nepal many lodges catering to the needs of the trekkers have sprung up all along this trail and we will be staying in one of these lodges every night. Apart from being able to enjoy homely comforts we will have the added advantage of being guests to families of different ethnic people typical of this area. The Manang and the Kali Gandaki valleys lie along an ancient trade route between

India and China, and a variety of ethnic peoples have settled here: Newars, Chettris, Gurungs, Manangeys and Thakalis.

Moderate to rigorous trekking between 2,000m. And 4,400m. With one pass crossing of 5,418m. Accommodation in comfortable lodges. The trek starts from Kathmandu and includes all meals, road-head transports, services of experienced local guide and porters to carry luggage. Clients carry daypack only and walk at their own pace.
