The challenging pass (Thorung La) crossing the Annapurna circuit trek is justifiably popular, best approached in a counter clockwise direction, which allows for a more gradual climb to the 5,416 m high taking in the most magnificent views of the annapurnas, dhaulagiri, Manaslu, lamjung and Tibetan Himalaya ranges. It also takes you from dense forests to the sparse Tibetan plateau, passing through ethnic villages of gurungs, tamangs, magars thakalis, manangies, Brahmins and chhetris.

The Annapurna has one of the most attractive Himalayan Panoramic view, situated in central part of Nepal, just north of Pokhara. The range from west to east consists of Annapurna south(7,219 m), Annapurna I(8,091 m), Himchuli (6,441 m), Gangapurna (7,455 m), Annapurna III (7,555 m), Fishtail (6,997 m), Annapurna IV (7,525 m), Annapurna II (7,925 m) and so on. The trek is not so difficult comparatively to others. Early autumn or late spring season is the best suitable for Annapurna trek.
