Annapurna Round Trekking

Nepal is one country in the world that offers several ways of enjoying holidays for travelers. Among them, trekking is one of the best ways to explore the facts of Nepal and harvest the benefits of traveling. Only through trekking, one can visit the hilly region, on the fold section of big mountains terrain, jungle, arid landscape, cultures villages, panoramic natures, and lush forest zone. There travelers meet several culturally, naturally, anthropologically, historically, and geographically diversified things. These will amuse travelers' experiences and make their holidays fruitful in Nepal.

Trekking in the classic Annapurna circuit is a very popular destination across the whole world. It is one of the major listing trekking regions for normal to highlander trekkers and it is a dream plan for most of the world’s outdoor sports, famous climbers, travelers, or adventurers. The trek starts at a very comfortable temperature and goes gradually up to the Himalayas. Of course, the legendary trekking trail has been destroyed by road extension however the walking path is created by the side or alternatively. In the former time, Annapurna Circuit trekking needed month-long holidays but the road development made it shorter now. So that trekkers can make the Annapurna circuit trekking minimum in a week and can extend according to their own time schedule.

Trekkers must drive from Kathmandu to Besishahar or nearby places by bus or private vehicle and sift into a local jeep service. Buses, cars, or taxis can’t drive on that road except four-wheel drive, local jeeps are providing daily driving from Besisahar to Manang. We don’t recommend trekkers directly drive to Manang due to altitude problems. If you are taking a private four-wheel drive from KTM then just drive up to Jagat or Maximum to Chame (headquarters of Manang District) then start trekking. Going directly to the very high altitudes is a big risk of altitude sickness. If someone is well-acclimatized at high altitudes then can be driven directly to Manang at 3500 meters above Sea level otherwise it is not recommended.

Annapurna Circuit trekking provides really magical joys of nature, cultures, traditions, history, geography, and anthropology. It begins at a greenery terraced agricultural field with picturesque villages and rounds up into the arid panoramic landscape and crosses over 5,416 mtr Thorong- La pass at the Himalayas. Walking through the beautiful Bhanjyang (hilltop), passing Rivers with suspension bridges & waterfalls, crop fields, landslide sections, sacred temples, Stupas, Monasteries, Chortens, and holistic Caves. Visiting different ethnical groups with different hospitalities, spending nights at their lodges, eating hygienic foods, zigzags up and down trails, amazing flora and fauna, beautiful yaks, enormous Glaciers, mind-blowing snow-capped mountain views, Lakes and alpine pastureland is a rewarding lifetime trek.

Instead of big and high mountains, there are many things to do and places to see on this trek such as Ngawal Cave, Ice Lake hiking, Gangapurna Base Camp hiking, Annapurna III Base Camp hiking, Holistic Milerepa Cave visit, Manang Monastery, Braka Monasery, Tilicho Lake excursion, Muktinath holistic temple, Jharkot Monastery, Kagbeni Monastery and Kaligandai River bank walking. If the trek is extended from Muktinath or Jomsom then pass through the world’s deepest gorge at Danaque to Tatopani and take the magical natural hot spring bath with sips of cold drinks. Plunging into a hot spring will relax and reinforce your tired muscles well. Hiking up to Ghorepani and attending the regionally dominant splendid Poonhill viewpoint and mystical views is a lifelong reward of the tour.

Trekking into this fabled forbidden kingdom of vast, arid valleys, eroded canyons, ochre valley, yak caravans, and colorful-painted mud brick houses on the back dropped of majestic mountain Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, Tukuche makes Mustang trekking a very especial.

In upper Mustang a very known and dominant famous city Lo Manthang is the ultimate destination. Lo means a remote Himalayan province while Manthang means abound place of beauty and happiness in the Tibetan language. In upper Mustang real Tibetan Buddhism, lifestyles, religion, art, and culture is remaining preserved. During the 15th and 16th centuries, the acquisition of immense fortunes from the salt trade made Mustang a highly prosperous kingdom. Mustang became an important transit point on the salt trade route between Tibet and the large markets for salt in lowland Nepal and India. Later, due to the decline of the salt trade, agriculture and animal husbandry became the most important occupations of the people. Still, a little Himalayan kingdom exists in Upper Mustang with a local king (who just passed away) of Lo-Monthang whose title has been given the honorary rank of Colonel in the Nepal army.

Which takes a three-day-long ritual known as" The Chasing of the Demons", one of the region’s most important festivals.

Dressed in their finery, people from all over Mustang gather in Lo Monthang to celebrate the Tiji festival.

Langtang – Gosaikunda trek offers a good alternative away from popular destinations such as Everest, Manaslu, and Annapurna Circuits. Surrounded by lesser-known viewpoints, and hilly tops in splendid alpine surroundings, the region has remained largely pristine. Langtang glacial valley passing through Lama Hotel and Ghoda Tabela, Langtang was destroyed village by an earthquake in 2015 on our way to Kyanjin Gompa, the last settlement in Langtang Valley. And after a few days of wonderful trekking around Langtang Valley, we step into the sacred holy Lake of Gosainkunda side. Gosaikund is a popular Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage site.

Despite its stunning natural beauty, the Kanchenjunga region has remained off the radar of most trekkers given its remote location and lack of infrastructure. In recent years, teahouses have been opened up in the villages and other convenient locations along the trail. This means that small groups can now trek here more affordably and payment for accommodation and meals goes directly to the local economy.

Note that, the trail is narrow and the teahouses are still simple, relatively few trekkers visit this remote area. You won’t find the fancy meals and attached bathrooms with hot showers available on the popular trekking routes, but you will experience real Nepal in all its diversity of cultures and landscapes.

There is essentially one main trail you can trek from North to southern Kanchanjunga basecamp. This route is more comfortable and acclimatizes altitude better rather from the South due to the fast ascending into the highland by steep adventure. Treks return back to Ghunsa and cross the Sele le Pass at 4800m and descend to Ramche and to the South viewpoint. The trail crosses numerous ridgelines with incredible views back up to the Himalayas, lush forests, hot temperatures, and farmland ascending and descending to the ending point of your trek.

Trekking in the Dolpo Region

Trekking into Dolpo region (Karnali Province or Mid- Western Nepal) is one of the most remote areas in the pristine Himalayas. Trekking or Expeditions into Dolpo is also a tough and challenging but rewarding adventure tour. Dolpo is geologically part of the sedimentary Tibetan-Tethys zone. Dolpo area remained to be isolated for many years; it was opened just in 1989 for outsiders. Therefore, the Tibetan primitive lifestyles, unique culture, language, and traditions are still well preserved. It is surrounded by Himalayan chains including the Dhaulagiri (8,167 meters). So the Dolpo area is a semi-arid climate caused by cloud barriers by mountains.

Dolpo regions are historically divided into four valleys: Tsharka (good growing valley), DhoTarap (auspicious excellent) valley, Tinje /Panzang (abode of monks) valley, and Saldang/Nangkhong (innermost place) valley. The southern valleys drain watershed into the Bheri River and the northern valleys between the watershed and Tibet drain westward by the Langu River, a tributary of the Karnali River via Mugu Karnali.

Trekking in the Dolpo region is grandeur rugged and remote. Dolpo region borders Tibet, thus the culture, traditions, and landscape are reminiscent and similar. As well as being remote, Western Nepal is also underdeveloped and quite poor. Permits are expensive and cannot trek in Dolpo independently and the tourism infrastructure in Dolpo is not what it is in much of Nepal. Trekkers must bring camping gear and supporting staff including necessary foods for the entire trekking. Arid landscape, high passes, deep valleys, primitive Tibetan way of life, turquoise Phoksundo Lake, oldest monasteries, plants, and highlander wildlife are worthies during tours in Dolpo.
