The Annapurna Circuit Trek is globally acclaimed for having the greatest diversity of landscapes and cultures in the Himalayas. Starting from the green paddy fields of Dharapani, the trail climbs through Gurung and Manangi villages into the high dry plateau of Manang. After acclimatizing, you cross the monumental Thorong La Pass (5,416m) and descend into the sacred pilgrimage center of Muktinath and the world's deepest river valley, the Kali Gandaki Gorge.
