About Annapurna Circuit Trek:
Annapurna Circuit Trek is a hiking in anticlockwise direction within Annapurna Massif located in the northwestern region of Kathmandu (capital city), Nepal. You will be touching the world's biggest trekking pass known as Thorung La Pass (5,416 m) on the 7th day of this trek.
Stunning view of Lamjung Himal (6,983 m), Annapurna II (7,937 m), IV (7,525 m), III (7,555 m), Ganggapurna (7454 m), Machhapuchhre (6,997 m), Tilicho Peak (7,134 m), Mt. Nilgiri (6,940 m), including the world's 7th and 10th highest peak Mount Dhaulagiri (8,172 m) and Annapurna I (8,091 m) respectively are the gems of this tour.
An ancient and sacred temple, Muktinath Temple (reached on the 8th day) is yet another attraction of this trek. It is believed that taking bath under 108 waterspouts located in the backyard of the temple will rinse the past sins and achieve salvation.
