Mini Annapurna Circuit Trek

USD $ 0 p/p

The Mini Annapurna Circuit trek is the perfect mix of dramatic mountain scenery, an ecological paradise and a cultural adventure. Life style of the village people and offers mountain scenery and a fascinating mix of local people and culture. Our Mini Annapurna Circuit through the Kali Gandaki Valley provides the main highlights of the original longer version in only 14 days.
For those who dont have time to complete the full Annapurna Circuit, we have arranged a shortcut to save time, by flying back to Pokhara from Jomsom and avoiding trekking on the rough road between Jomsom and Beni that is also used for village traffic.

The starting point of the Mini Annapurna Circuit is Besisahar, from where we trek North up the Marshyangdi Valley, through lush green foothills and terraced rice fields. As we climb higher we leave the beautiful alpine forests behind us, and enter a dry desert region, where we find the Tibetan Buddhist village of Manang.

Along the trail, we will get superb views of the Annapurna range; Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, Manaslu, Gangapurna, Tilicho Peak, Lamjung, Himalchuli, and Manaslu. Every day of the journey you will see the mountains from a different vantage point and different mountains come and go from your view.

The highlight of this trek is crossing the famous Thorong La pass, 5416m, after which we make the long descent to the Hindu temple at Muktinath. Leaving Muktinath, we follow the deepest gorge in the world, the Kali Gandaki Valley, down to Jomsom, from where we fly back to Pokhara.
