Round Annapurna is known as Annapurna Circuit and Thorong-La pass trekking as well. Thorong-La Pass (5,415m) is the highest pass in this trekking. This is probably one of the world's most beautiful trek. It will take you through a wonderful variety of landscapes and culture, from the subtropical lower Marsyangdi Valley where Gurung and Thakali people dominate to the northern arid Buddhist areas. From Thorong-La Pass the trail goes all the way down to Muktinath which is very important holy place for both of Hindu and Buddhists. Close to the Muktinath temple tourists can view external burning flame over the undergrounded natural water spring. Excursion day in Muktinath is fantastic to understand the ethnic people and their culture. Trekkers encounter the red rhododendron forest fully bloomed in March to April. The landscape in this trek is amazing. Some parts of this trekking grant you a dense forest, where as in another part the necked hills stunning up-close views of snowy and glaciated high peaks including Annapurna II, III and IV and many more snow capped mountains can be found.
