Thorong Peak

The Annapurna Circuit has been named the best long-distance trek in the world because, in its original form, it combined a wide variety of climate zones, from the tropics at 600 m asl to the arctic at 5416 m asl at the Thorong La pass, as well as cultural variety, from Hindu villages at the low foothills to the Tibetan culture of the Manang Valley and lower Mustang. The trail has been reduced and the villages have been altered by the ongoing construction of a road. The trekking track frequently crosses the newly constructed Besisahar-Manag road. With the development of highways, mountain riding is growing in popularity, particularly in Mustang.

The Annapurna Massif (Annapurna I–IV), Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, Manaslu, Gangapurna, Tilicho Peak, Pisang Peak, and Paungda Danda are some of the mountains that may be seen up close. From the Annapurna range, numerous additional peaks between 6000 and 8000 meters in height emerge.
