World Famous pass Throng-la Pass (5416m)
Annapurna Circuit Trekking attracts a relatively high number of trekkers in Nepal. As the name itself suggests, this trail goes on a circuitous route around the entire Annapurna massifs, visiting the Tibet-like country on the northern slopes of the Himalaya and the dramatic Kali Gandaki Gorge. Much of the trek is through lowland country, but there is one high pass, ‘Thorong La’ (5416m). The trail over the pass is steep but in good shape and not hard to follow. This is one point of the entire circuit where you really feel you are amidst the mountains. However, you should be aware of altitude sickness and be prepared for weather extremes as the Thorong La is notorious for changing its moods. The pass is usually snowbound and uncrossable from mid-December to mid-April.
The Kali Gandaki Gorge is another spell binding part of this trip. Known to be the world’s deepest river gorge, the trail up to the Jomsom and Upper Mustang actually goes side by side with the river giving the lonely trekker company and groups something to talk about. Thus, the Annapurna Circuit is an extraordinary trek, truly one of the world’s best. It requires at least three weeks. But due to the popularity of this route, it can sometimes tend to be crowded.
Spectacular views of Annapurna, Manaslu, Dhaulagiri ranges, fascinating landscapes of Mustang, Muktinath temple (Hinduism and Buddhism), Manang, Marpha, Braga village, large numbers of monasteries, Kaligandaki gorge etc.

Me and my mother have decided to go to Nepal and were looking for experienced guide with good references. A friend has recommended Raj Nepal and his company. After some email conversations and comparing the offer with other companies and guides we decided to go with a friend’s recommendation and choose Raj Nepal. Our guide during the Annapurna trek and sightseeing in Pokhara and Kathmandu was his brother, Hari Nepal .
Hari was the perfect guide! He had all the knowledge about everything around us and was able to provide all the information our heart desired. During the trek we saw other guides asking Hari for inputs and information on how to proceed with their customers, so we knew that we had the best guide.
Hari together with Raj were flexible to adapt to some changes we wanted to make during the trek and allowed us to free some time and go to Chitwan safari and see more things that we wanted. Safety was always the top priority during the trek (Altitude sickness, fatigue etc.) Hari was always with us and reassuring while monitoring our status, everything went well! Thank you for the great time in Nepal, hospitality security and friendliness and for always smiling!
