and Poon Hill
The Annapurna Ring is deservedly considered one of the most beautiful in the world, as this route has everything that can be seen in the Himalayas: glaciers, alpine lakes, jungles, waterfalls, authentic Nepalese villages, deep gorges over which suspension bridges are thrown. And there are also views of 3 eight-thousand-meter mountains at once: Annapurna (8091 m), Dhaulagiri (8167 m) and Manaslu (8156 m). There are only 14 mountains in the world above 8000 meters, and Annapurna is the most dangerous of them for climbing.
We will walk through the full Annapurna ring, where you will find the highest trekking pass — Thorong La (5416 m), authentic Nepalese villages and traditional food, overnight stays in cozy mountain lodges and evenings by a warm stove, tea on the shore of Lake Tilicho (4949 m), the deepest gorge in the world, dawn on the mountain Poon Hill with the best panorama of the Annapurna massif, thermal springs and much more! See the photos, read the route description and join us. After all, the Himalayas are mountains that everyone should see!
Trekking around Annapurna practically does not require special acclimatization exits, as its route already provides for acclimatization with a smooth climb.
Immediately after an early breakfast, we will be transferred to the village of Jagat, from where the trekking part of our route will begin the next morning, but on this day, we will enjoy the beauty of Nepalese nature from the bus window. After checking into one of the loggias and having a delicious dinner, we will go to the waterfall or swim in the hot springs.
