Annapurna Region is widely regarded as one of the best
trekking destination of Nepal. Annapurna never fails to surprise voyager with
the options it holds. The Annapurna Circuit trek is one of the many
possibilities of Annapurna Region. The highest point of this trek is at 5,416m
high Throng la Pass where is just touches the Tibetan Plateau. The total length
of route varies around 160 to 230 km depending upon the transportation you use.
Normally, this trek starts from Besisahar Lamjung and ends on Nayapul, Pokhara.
