Annapurna trekking is opening for a foreigner since 1977, 23 days long Annapurna Circuit Trekking has become a magnet for adventure seekers. Annapurna Circuit trekking route goes past Manaslu (Plus 8,000m peak), Langtang Himal (Plus 7,000m peak), Annapurna II (7937m), and Annapurna IV, Annapurna III (7555m) and Gangapurna (7455m) and Annapurna I (8091m) and Dhaulagiri (8167m) passing through the world's deepest gorge in between those two plus 8,000m peaks. The circuit is especially walked in an anti-clockwise direction with difficulties in crossing the high altitude Thorung La pass (5416m).

Excursion clockwise the longer ascent and shorter descent from west to east are too much for many trekkers to manage in a single day. After taking the magnificent view from the top of Thorung La pass marked by prayer flags and crossing it, reach Muktinath. After the excursion of the surroundings and take a return flight to Pokhara and or Jomsom to Kathmandu.
