An amazing trek through rural mountain Nepal; people live and work here. The altitude is low enough not to trouble you and yet you are in amongst some of the highest peaks in the world; no less than 2 of them are in the top 10 in the world (Annapurna 1 and Dhaulagiri).
This nicely paced trek meanders its way through rural villages amidst spectacular world class mountain scenery, staying in classic tea house lodges.
