ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT (THORANG LA PASS TREK)
(TREK NO- ANN-5501)

The excitement of crossing a high mountain pass, the unmatched views of the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Manaslu Ranges are the highlights of this outstanding trek in the diversified mountain range.

While trekking north, we take rest to acclimatize at the important trading village, Manang (3351m), before crossing the Thorang La (5380m). As we reach the pass line after line of snow ridges stretch before you while far below lies the sub-tropical Kali Gandaki Gorge. Then we descend to Muktinath, scared Buddhist and Hindu Shrine. Further south, the contrasts of the Himalaya become even more apparent as high wind swept passes are replaced by forests, mandarin and banana groves. Finally we trek out of the gorges and look back to the peaks of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, before passing through the forest ridges down to Pokhara.
