""Annapurna is a section of the Himalayas in north-central Nepal that includes 8,091 m Annapurna I, 13 additional peaks over
7,000 m and 16 more over 6,000 m. This section is a 34 mile long massif bounded by the Kali Gandaki Gorge on the
west, the Marshyangdi River on the north and east, and Pokhara Valley on the south. The entire massif and surrounding area are protected within
the 4,740 sq mile Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP), the first and largest conservation area in Nepal. ACAP is home to several
world-class treks, including the Annapurna Circuit and
Annapurna Base Camp." Wikipedia
Annapurna Circuit - Trekking in Nepal

Annapurna Circuit Trekking is one of the great walks in Nepal as it passes through a variety of Himalayan environments. The trek begins in the
lush Marsyangdi Valley, home to the Hindu farming families of Brahmin, Chhetri and Gurung tribes, and enters the dry, arid Tibet like region of
Manang inhabited by Buddhist Manangis of Tibetan origin. It also reveals some of the most beautiful mountains like Annapurna II (7,937m),
Gangapurna (7,485m) and Tilicho Peak (7,134m). This trip provides the experience of both the scenic and ethnic diversity of Nepal with the added
excitement of crossing the Thorung La Pass (5,416m). Then to visit the holy shrine at the Temple of Muktinath and the Buddhist nunery before
