Dear Baral  
This was the first time I booked directly through the WEB , and I thought it's a little risky, especially when I had to send my money to Katmandu and I wend to Delhi .

  The trek around Annapurna massif is one of the finest in the Himalayas. This 23 days program takes you right around the great Annapurna massif, visiting a Tibet like country on the northern slopes of the Himalayas and into the dramatic Kali Gandaki gorge-the deepest in the world. This is a long course that follows Marsyangdi River, crosses Thorung pass (5416m) from the Manang basin and descends to the Kali Gandaki. It is rich in variety and vistas from the ruling hill of Marsyangdi to the Himalayan interior, providing the complete trekking experience. The change of scenery at the limits of Thorung pass and the remains around the sacred area of Muktinath are also extremely interesting. Trekking north we acclimatize in the important trading village of Manang (3351m), before crossing the Thorung pass. Further south, the contrast of the Nepali Himalayas become even more apparent, as high wind swept passes are replaced by forest or mandarins and banana grooves. Finally, we trek out the gorges and look back to the peaks of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri before traversing the forest ridges down to Pokhara.
