Best gateway to Annapurna Trekking area is Besisahar ,Pokhara, Kaski district and Lamjung.
In addition, you may be satisfied with special ethnic companies living in different parts of the Annapurna Ring Road climate. We can make changes between plants and animals based on different geographical and cultural differences. When you leave Besisahar, you can stroll through the rice fields of Annapurna Reserve, the pleasant villages and the lush forests. In addition, this trail brings Lamjung Himal, Manaslu (8,156 m), Upper Tukuche, Machhapuchhre (6,996 m) and a series of higher peaks.
Moreover, you can bypass Annapurna to avoid the rich paddy fields, streams and arrest villages that harvest very isolated subdivisions, Manan (3,597 m). After the second extraordinary pass by Thorung-l. Through (5416 meters), we are able to walk nearby Hindu and Buddhist shrines, called Muktinath, which means "the god of redemption." This sacred community is located on dry land in the Himalayas. Annapurna travels along the Kaligandaki Valley and Annapurna Base Camp on Popo Mountain in Gaporepani.
The beautiful Annapurna Himalayas and many beautiful and diverse mountains surround the Annapurna. Excursions to the Annapurna round through the Kailash hiking trail in Nepal will allow you to avoid the striking bamboo, rhododendrons and forests and experience the great creatures of Nepal.

It is easy to find individual rooms in Kathmandu and low trekking trails, but can be difficult to find at higher altitudes.
Meals
On our trek, we can enjoy authentic Nepalese cuisine and the most common international cuisine (Tibet, continent, Italy, India, etc.). Breakfast and dinner will be served at the teahouse or the house menu, where we will spend the night and lunch will be served on the way to the next destination. All meals will be served during the trek and at Kathmandu, only breakfast will be served. The hotel will also offer welcome and farewell dinner for the guest.
Can I be a good trekker?
Mini Round Annapurna Round Trekking is highly demanding trek but suitable for passionate walkers who have the ability to walk at least 5-6 hours a day with a light rucksack. At least the trekker need to be prepared physically and mentally as you might even need to walk 8 to 9 hours each day. Walking in higher altitude is more physically demanding than walking in the lower altitudes; however, if we have good health with average physical fitness, positive attitude, self-confidence and strong determination, we can accomplish the trek successfully.
It will be better to have exercised and jogging regularly before embark on the trek to enhance our strength and stability. Past hiking experience is preferred but no technical skill is required. It is important that we consult with our doctor before booking this trek. Participants with pre-existing medical conditions such as heart, lung, and blood disease should inform Himalayan Adventure Nepal before booking the trek.
