This is one of the glorious treks which continue through Marshyangdi River on the first part. While after crossing the Thorung La (5416m.) it rapidly descends to the deepest gorge of the world being on the side of the Kali Gandaki River. The Annapurna Circuit series is wealthy in diversities & panoramas, beginning from the blossoming green fields to the infertile elevated Himalayan heart, through its environmental and enlightening mixture supplies you the comprehensive trekking familiarity. As you trek all along the trail, viewing the gorgeous Annapurna panorama & charming community existence will always try to remain you fascinated with them, constantly.
Annapurna Circuit Trek is done inside the Annapurna Conservation Area Project and it’s illegal to do any kind of trekking or visit inside the area without entry permit. This project has a total area of 7,629 sq. Kilometers. This project was launched in 1968 by King Mahendra Trust for Nature Conservation. The biological diversity of the Annapurna Region is equally rivaled by its rich cultural diversity. Since the first trekker came to the Annapurna area in 1957, the natural and cultural features of ACAP have made it the most popular tourist destination in Nepal, drawing more than 60 per cent of the country's total trekkers. ACAP follows the three grass root philosophy of maximum people’s participation, sustainability, and its role as at catalyst (facilitator) whereby the local people are involved in all aspects of the conservation and development processes, both as principal actors and prime beneficiaries.
