Trekking in Nepal
The circuit trek takes you through some of the most amazing landscape in Nepal. The trek begins in well forested and terraced hills; a region inhabited by Hindu groups of Nepal. But past Pisang the landscape changes dramatically as the dense forests are replaced by the barren landscape of the Tibetan plateau. Here you enter the Manang valley which is inhabited by gypsy traders of Tibetan origin. After several rest and short days for acclimatization, head north to the Thorung pass from where you descend to Muktinath village where there is a shrine revered by both Hindus and Buddhists.
The trek ends in Jomsom from where a flight through the Kali Gandaki gorge, the deepest gorge in the world between Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, brings you to Kathmandu. You may opt to continue and complete the full circuit. There is a newly built unpaved from Jomsom to Tatopani (3 days trek) but views of the Dhaulagiri range from here are awe-inspiring. Beyond Tatopani, ascend to Ghorepani Ridge and to Pun Hill from where a 360 degree view of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains is possible. This is indeed one of the best mountain view-point of the world.
