(Moderate to strenuous level) - 26 days trip

This trail was first opened in 1977 and is a classic Himalayan trek. Beginning in Begnas Tal, our route takes us along little-known paths into the Marsyandi Valley, over the wild and spectacular 5416m Thorong La (pass) and around the Annapurna massif. The trek offers magnificent contrast. Starting and ending in lush, green foothills of the Annapurnas that are dotted with Hindu villages, we trek through forest into the high country between the high peaks. A change occurs as we cross onto the Tibetan Plateau where beautiful colour and pattern is seen in the many rock cliffs and where the culture becomes predominantly Buddhist. We then head back down the great Kali Gandhaki Valley (the deepest gorge on earth with Annapurna and Dhaulagiri towering some 7,000 metres above ) and return to Pokhara where our trek concludes .
