Trekking the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal is, for some, the culmination of a life's dream and for others, simply the opportunity to explore one of the most remote mountain regions of the world. Passing through four provinces, the lower regions of Lamjung and Myagdi, and Manang and Mustang in the higher elevations, the Annapurna Circuit will take you on a journey not only of miles and mountains but of fascinating flora, fauna, and culture. The Annapurna circuit stretches for over 300km and circumnavigates the majestic Annapurna Massif comprising six mighty peaks and many smaller ones. It is difficult to choose an ultimate highlight of the trek but it is easy to work out which are the high points...Cheap Coach handbags
Thorong La Pass
A trek of the Annapurna Circuit will start from the city of Pokhara and follow the Marshyangdi River to the summit pass of Throng La. This is the highest point of the entire circuit and, at 5,416 metres above sea-level, it affords spectacular views across cloud-strewn valleys to the other great snowy peaks which surround it. Hikers set off before sunrise on the climb to Throng La Pass as strong winds later on in the day can hamper the journey and make the hike more strenuous.Gucci handbags on sale
Annapurna 1
Holding the title of the world's tenth highest mountain at 8,091m, Annapurna I is one of only fourteen mountains which fall into the 'eight-thousanders', and was the first of this elite group to be conquered. Attempted far less often than its counterpart Everest, Annapurna is notorious for the avalanches which ravage its slopes and terrorise those who try to summit. As you trek the Annapurna Circuit you can view the sun-kissed snowy peak of the mountain from a more respectable vantage as you pass by the base of this magnificent monolith.
