The trek completely circumnavigates the Annarpana massif, considered a classic by many trekkers; it provides a whole range of experiences from lowland paddy fields to the windswept valleys of the Manang district on to the high pass of Thorong la (5416mtrs). After the pass there is a steep descent to the holy pilgrimage site of Muktinath. A couple of days are spent trekking through the lower Mustang district and some very preety Thakali villages towards the small town of Tatopani. Tatopani is renowned for its good food and hot springs for bathing. The following day is a long one up to the settlement of Ghorepani for sunrise views followed the next day with an early morning trek to Poon hill for spectacular sunrise views of both the Dhaulagiri and Annapuna Himal. The last day we descend steeply to the scenic village of Birenthanti situated at the confluence of two rivers the Modi khola and Bharungdi Khola and overnight. The final day is a short trek of half an hour followed by an hours bus ride to the hotel in Pokhara.
