Annapurna Circuit Trekking
The magnificent mountain scenery,
seen at close quarters includes Annapurna 8,091 metres which
was the first 8,000 metre peak to be climbed, the magnificent
ice pyramid Dhauligiri 8,167 metres, once the home of the legendary
Buddhist guru Padmasamba, and Machhupuchhare 6,993 metres, considered
by many to be the most beautiful mountain in the world.
The Annapurna Circuit is the
popular name for a 300 kilometre trek in Nepal around the Annapurna
mountain range in the Himalayas. The trek reaches an altitude
of 5,300 metres on the Thorung La pass, touching the edge of
the fabled Tibetan plateau.

The Annapurna Circuit trek follows
ancient paths used as trade routes between Nepal and Tibet.
These paths have long facilitated the flow of cultures and religions
in this remote and formerly inaccessible region. Today Tibetan
Mahayana Buddhism, Hinduism and the mysterious Bon-Po religion
still coexist and interpenetrate one another in this region
which contains many pilgrimage sites.
The unusually wide range of
climatic zones in such a small area as the Annapurna Circuit
path ascends from 900 metres to 5,300 metres provides a chance
to see many different plants and animals, and the different
ways of life of the many peoples who live there.
