Annapurna Trekking (2nd Popoular Trek in Nepal)









Trekking: Annapurna
Central Nepal is dominated by the Annapurna Himal which rises above the town of Pokhara. There are three major trekking routes in this region - to Jomsom, to the Annapurna Sanctuary and a circuit of the entire Annapurna massif. Pokhara is also a good starting place for a number of short treks of one to four days duration. About two-thirds of the trekkers in Nepal visit the Annapurna region: the area is easily accessible, teahouses are plentiful in the hills and the treks here offer a good range of scenery - high mountains, forests and villages. No matter where you trek in the Annapurna region, you will eventually pass through Pokhara, the main city in central Nepal. The trek to Jomsom begins with a short bus journey from the town and the Annapurna Circuit begins and ends here. The town is known for its shops, inexpensive hotels and restaurants, and for its spectacular mountain panorama which includes the Annapurnas, Machhapuchhare and Dhaulagiri. Pokhara, being at a lower elevation, is warmer then Kathmandu.
