The 'Circuit' Trek
Driving from Kathmandu to Besi Sahar, we walk up the lush Marsyangdi valley into the arid Manang valley, greeted by ethnic Manangis (Of Tibetan descend) in villages and monasteries. There are stunning views of Glacier Dome (7202m), Gangapurna (7454m) and Annapurna 2 (7940m).After several false summits we reach the Thorung pass, the highest point of our trek, marked by two large cairns with flying prayer flags. We descend to the holy village of Muktinath (3800m).
