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.
