The Annapurna Circuit Trek is taken as the spectacular trekking route in the Annapurna region since it opened to foreign trekkers in 1977. It requires total three weeks to circle round but most of the trekkers shorten the route and fly back to Pokhara from Jomsom. Budget Annapurna Circuit trek starts from Bhulbhule via the Besishahar. It follows along the Marshyangdi River, with great view of Manashlu and Himal Chuli to the east.
The high elevation of the trek is at Thorong La pass (5416m). Usually the trekking is cross in an anti-clockwise direction to make the crossing this pass easy. Trekking in the mid-day is almost difficult to cross the pass. So for the early attempt of crossing pass the trekking is recommended in counter clockwise. It is considered as the difficult trekking part to cross the Thorong La. Trekking route descends from the top of the pass to Muktinath where we spend the night.
