Crossing
Thorung La (5,416m / 17,767ft) -
From Lonely Planet |
|
|
|
|
 Thorung
La is a high pass and crossing it is potentially
dangerous. It is easiest and safest to cross
this pass from east to west. It's impossible to
define exact dates, but Thorung La is usually
snowbound and closed from mid-December to late
February. There are years when the weather
allows it to stay open throughout the winter,
and other times when unseasonable storms close
it in October or April. Trekkers have died on
Thorung La because of altitude sickness,
explore, cold and avalanches. Be certain you are
prepared well for this long trek.

ANNAPURNA
SANCTUARY TREKKING
- Trek to the Base Camp of Massif Annapurnas for 360°
view
|
 There is a good mix of high mountains and Himalayan culture on this trek. The Annapurna Himal lies between the Kali Gandaki and Marsyangdi river valley, forming a solid, mountain bastion. As rhododendron forests give way to bamboo groves, which in turn vanish into the high, desert landscapes, people of Aryan stock give way to those of Mongoloid stock and the dominant religion changes from Hinduism in the lower reaches to Buddhism higher up.

This trek is difficult to match for its rugged mountain scenery, trekking challenges and the expose it provides on the variety of ethnic Nepalese cultures. Starting in the lowland paddy fields the trek steadily gains altitude passing through oak and pine forests and eventually emerging into high desert country at Manang (3597 m.). The descent is equally amazing and varied.
