Annapurna range is the most exquisite , with some of the
world's highest mountain views including Annapurna I (8,091m / 10th highest).
While the foothills are dominated by diverse ethnic groups with their charming
villages and terraced farms, higher reaches are pristine roved only by
shepherds. We will come across the several view points with world famous
Himalayan views. The trekking is the best insight into the Nepalese mountain
lifestyle, ethnic diversity and a moderate adventure in the Himalayas.
