Some features of Annapurna Region Trekking
– Discover diverse cultures
Exploration of Tibetan culture is another important aspect of the Annapurna Circuit Trek. You’ll visit monasteries and Chortens which are some sacred places of Buddhists. In addition, you’ll get familiar with the Sherpa living in the Himalayas and their livelihood. Moreover, you’ll also know about Hinduism as you visit one of their most holy places i.e., the Muktinath Temple.
Muktinath temple is also one of the leading destinations of this trek. The holy temple of Muktinath is a popular destination among the Hindu as well as Buddhist pilgrims. However, other tourists also go there to see the historical and sacred temple. It is an immensely popular Vishnu temple situated in the Muktinath Valley at the bottom of the Thorang La mountain pass. Around 108 water spouts surround the temple premises.

Annapurna Circuit Trek passes through four districts of Nepal. We go counter-clockwise around the Annapurna Massif as we move through Chame, Manang, Muktinath, Jomsom, Tatopani, and Ghorepani, among other places. The circuit encompasses forests, rivers, hills, valleys, and mountains across Midwest to the northern part of Nepal. Along with Annapurna, the trail also provides some magnificent views of other mountains like Manaslu, Nilgiri, and Dhaulagiri.

The Annapurna Circuit is something I have wanted to try for more than half a lifetime, however I’m now a father traveling with my wife (we’re both over 50) and 3 kids (ages 18, 15 and 13). Everyone’s got an agenda, but the biggest obstacles would be taking on the circuit in the 11 days that we had available for the trek, my wife’s concerns about hiking at high altitudes, the kids varying levels of enthusiasm for such an endeavor and the fact that we would have to travel in June, the beginning of monsoon season.
When I laid these concerns out over a string of emails with North Nepal’s manager, Mohan raj Bhandari, he responded quickly, demonstrated engagement and expertise with my questions, and worked through the issues and concerns one-by-one. Was Annapurna the right trek for us? What about Nar Phu? What about Manaslu? I was later to learn that his depth of expertise comes not only from having scheduled treks with so many customers, but he also gets out of the office and does the treks himself to experience the trails firsthand. He came along on our trip, not as a guide but as a porter and as an agency manager to see how his arrangements came to fruition.
With regards to those arrangement, North Nepal was clear from the get-go about the nature of the packages available. Mohan understood that I was torn between the independent backpacker mentality of going from lodge to lodge and, since I had kids with relatively small appetites, the need to pay-as-you-go for food, and the desire to make the experience as pleasurable and do-able as possible for those very kids. In the event, I never felt pressured to undertake an expense I wasn’t comfortable with and the combination of working directly with the tea house owners, having the North Nepal team help with discussions (and frankly the fact that there were very few other trekkers on that route in June) made the expenses very reasonable.
The Route: The 11 day trek began with a long bus and jeep trip to Chame, with 3-6 hour treks for the following days until we came to Day 10, on which we would be waking up at 4 am to ascend from 14,500′ to 17,600′ (about a 1000m ascent). This would be our day to hike over Thorung La, the highest pass in the world and a place where breath comes short. This was a day my wife had been very concerned about. However, we had practiced on hikes on our acclimatization day and on a side trip up to Tilicho Lake (15,000′) so had a reasonable idea how we might fare at these higher elevations. In the event, only my youngest daughter needed a horse until the pass with the rest of us doing fine through the morning mist. We spent the rest of the day going down, down, down into Muktinath (12,000′), and had a celebratory dinner. Day 11 was supposed to be a short hop back to Pohkara from a nearby airfield, but the clouds had come to stay and no planes were going to be landing, so we piled into a jeep with the North Nepal team and sloshed back to Pokhara over mud-soaked roads for 11 white-knuckled hours.
Overall, North Nepal did wonderfully. They brought professionalism to clear communication, transparent planning, trustworthy financial transactions, impeccable personnel on trail, and an appreciation of the kind of trip we were hoping to have. I will certainly come back to Mohan and North Nepal when we’re in the neighborhood again.

Helpful friend
Even in monsoon time Mohan the guide was able to make our hiking very fascinating and we didn’t miss any beautiful Anapurna view. He helped us when my friend got sick. Since then we are friends. I hope to come back one day and go higher to the montains with Mohan and North Nepal
