There are superb views of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, and the constant variety of landscapes ranges from sub-tropical through alpine to an arid semi-desert akin to Tibet; at the climax of the trek there's a formidable 5416m. Pass, the Thorong La, to cross. The circuit of the Annapurna range is rich in variety and vistas, from the lush green rice paddies of the Marsyangdi to the arid high-altitude Himalayan interior, and it's ecological and cultural diversity provides the complete trekking experience.

This is a lodge-based trek, so you spend time in villages inhabited by many of Nepal's different tribes, both Buddhist and Hindu. Every day brings opportunities to gain an insight into the local culture and interact with the local communites whose land you are walking through, whether by bartering for souvenirs, talking to the inquisitive children or relaxing at a tea house during a break.
