In this trek, Himalayas are not only importance and attraction, you will find different Nepalese culture, ethnic group and different climate and temperature as much as you hike up to land. According to our customs Gurung, Thakali, Sherpa and Bhote these casts are having great settlement in remote of Nepal, so middle part of Nepal in hilly area above 1500 to 2500 meters high, Gurung people habitants. Above 2500 meters high, Thakali, Sherpa and Bhote people have dominated in Himalayan regions. These kind of settlement has been settled since our ancestors.

Annapurna Circuit Short Trek is most popular trekking routes in west-north part of Nepal which sprawled from Himalayan district called Manang to Mustang via high pass Thorong La. In the previous days, it is was for 21 days trek, but after building the motorable road heads to Besisahar, it became 15 days. These recent days, Motor road extended to Manang Valley which made the trekking route shorter, also road from Pokhara to Jomsom-Muktinath also built, so now a day, trekking routes become quiet shorter.

It can be complete within 12 days. Even in this day, trekkers can have great chances to see the great Himalayan views, familiar with some different mountain people culture and their lifestyle. The main important of this trail is cross the Thorong Pass which is located above 5450 meters high from sea level.

Also walking is through some glaciers in high pass with sun shining early in the morning, because trekker should wake up early morning before 5 am and need to begin walking to protect from windy and icefalls. After 11 am, it is difficult to walk around there because of high windy and storming, this naturally happens here.

So walking early in the morning is best to breathe fresh air and a bit cold which support to better walking and morning views when sun rises on the Himalayas, one can see unique and attractive scene there and it gives great enjoy and makes power to walk with cool mind.

This trek starts from Kathmandu by private vehicle or local bus to Chame, then walking from Chame, Manang to Muktinath – Mustang in 10 days.

    Annapurna Sanctuary Trekking

    We were 4 people planned to visit Nepal and all of us checked online price and facility of services, comparatively Adventure Land Nepal found average one, then decided to trek to Annapurna Base Camp, after complete the trekking, we would be happy with our decision. Thought that we got right person, right place and right decision, because our trekking organizer was experienced more than 20 years in tourism field. After arriving Nepal and hearing his briefing, it encouraged us to do as soon as possible do this trek.

    He provided us nice package, Guide was strong and honest, he always gave an idea, what to do, how and where, these all moments were very valuable for us as we were beginners of trekking. Any way we had a lot enjoy even it was hard to walk in the hill sides. Up and down on the trails, it is really hard, but Mountain view and Nepalese lifestyle, their behave gave us plus point to forget that hardness.

    We thanks to Mr Chij, manager of Adventure Land Nepal and Guide mr. Khadka. See you again in next trip.
