Annapurna Circuit Trek begins from Beshisahar, but we can recommend to start your trek from Jagat due to more vehicle drive in lower part of Annapurna region.

The trail goes along with Marshyangdi River, terrace Rice field, sub-tropical forest, beautiful waterfalls, local villages having great chance to explore local ethnic culture and lifestyle of Himalayan people such as Gurung, Magar and Thakali. There is Tibetan influence in higher region, so we can encounter Tibetan Buddhism including old monastery, Chortens, Mani wall, prayer flags, and their typical houses.
After crossing amazing pass of Thorong La, we trek down to Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage Muktinath, with an elevaton of 3800 meter. Muktinath is famous Vishnu Temple which means “Lord of Salvation”. Thousands of Hindu devotees visit this place to get moksha (salvation) from the cycle of birth and rebirth. Knowingly or unknowingly, if Hindu people did sin in their life, can get salvation after visiting this temple. According to Buddhist tradition, Guru Rimpochen founded the Tibetan faith, stopped in this place to pray the sky dancing goddesses, when he was on the way to Tibet in 8th century. We can also visit the Tibetan monastery having naturel fire (gas from soil) inside and meet with female nuns.
