Introduction:

Starting from Beshishar the headquarter of Lamjung district and this is one of the classic and most rewarding treks in Nepal and probably the worlds’ favorites trekking destination which offers panoramic views of the three giant and the highest 8000m mountain range Mt.Annapurna, Mt.Dhaulagiri and
Mt.Manaslu including arrays of over 6000m snow-capped peaks. The trail follows the river Marsyangdi all the way to its source, the glacial lake in Manang, through the rural farm villages and terraced farm fields from the sub-tropic climate to the arctic landscape and through the rain forest to the alpine woodlands.

Southern slopes of the Annapurna ranges are heavily settled and farmed, except the higher regions which support thick forests of rhododendron and fir. Most of the tribal inhabitants are Gurung’s, Magars, Chettris and the Newars.
Further north lives the Manang people of Tibetan origin.  Our trek follows the Yak country and finally over to the Thorung-la, 5,416m pass offering fabulous scenery of the surrounding landscapes and magnificent peaks.

From here the trail descends most of the way to Pokhara passing through the holy site of Muktinath. Muktinath is one of the sources of the Kali Gandaki River. Through the deepest gorge of Kali Gandaki River valley and passing the charming villages of Jomsom, Marpha-Tukuche and Tatopani (hot spring) we end our trek at Pokhara one of the most scenic places on this planet.
