Thurong La trek is a shorter version of the classic Annapurna Circuit trek on the north eastern slopes of the Annapurna region. Annapurna circuit once the classic trek in the Annapurna region has been badly effected due to the ongoing road project in the various part of the trail thus disturbing its beautiness. Because of this we have redesigned the program by keeping only the best part of the trail which has been left uneffected. In reality this shorter version of the trek is the cream of the famous Annapurna circuit trek.
Annapurna Circuit Trek trek starts with a drive of around 6 hours from Kathmandu to Besishar on a paved road then after it goes on a rough toad till Jagat for around 2 hours. From here the trek trail starts taking you through a typical hill country inhabited by Gurung to Tibet like country on the northern slopes of the Himalaya. Highlight of this trek is crossing of Thurong La pass which is 5,416 m it is hard and thrilling but rewards you with some magnificent views of the Himalayas. We will end this trip with a visit to Muktinath which is an important holy site for both Hindus and Buddhists.
In short we can sum this trail up as a classical one since it provides all the delights which Annapurna has to offer - the different cultures of the different tribes residing in this area, fantastic landscape, great mountain views and last but not the least the exhilarating experience of crossing the 5,416m high Thorung La Pass.
In case if one prefers to do the full Annapurna circuit please advise we can always organize it.
