Annapurna Circuit Trek

Trek Code: SSAT # 08
Trek Grade: C
Trek Duration: 15 Days
Hotel KTM / PKR: 4 Nights
Season: March to May & Sept to Nov

Introduction:
The southern slopes of Manaslu and Annapurna ranges are heavily settled and are covered by terraced fields, except for the higher regions which support thick forests of rhododendron and fir. This region is the home of Gurungs and Magars (the famous Gurkha people of Nepal).

The small terraced fields on the mountain slopes support crops of millet and wheat, corn and barley and small flocks of sheep and goats. The Manang tribes are traditionally a trading race. They are Buddhist by religion and Tibetan by origin, and their architecture and lifestyle are quite different to other tribes in the southern slopes. This trek to the Manang Valley and into the rain shadow of the Annapurna ranges offers dramatic scenery of changing color. We meet Thakalis and Mustang tribes controlling the busy trading and pilgrimage trail along the Kali Gandaki. We also meet Gurungs and Magars when we move through the gap between Dhaulagiri and Annapurna into the water zones. This is one of the classic and most rewarding treks in Nepal. On the whole trek, you will always have magnificent views of all central Himalayan ranges.
