One
fascinating journey to experience the differing cultures of the
Annapurna region. Commencing with a flight into the heart of the
lower Mustang district, we continue to the ancient village of Kagbeni,
on the border of upper Mustang and the Hidden Kingdom. From here
we travel North East through arid landscape to the sacred pilgrimage
town of Muktinath, this area is Tibet all but in name. The journey
back travels through the Kali Ghandaki canyon, the deepest in the
World entering into Thakali and Gurung tribal culture, through lush
forests complemented by the ever changing views of the Annapurnas.
This trek is the easier part of the Annapurna Circuit and is ideal
for those with less time or for those not wishing the exertion of
a 5416 mtr pass.
