Kathmandu, 11 October: The Lonely Planet, the world’s leading travel guide publisher has featured Nepal’s Annapurna Circuit among the top 10 most incredible travel experiences in the world.

The Lonely Planet, in its latest ‘Ultimate Travel List’ under the heading ‘Take a classic teahouse trek around Nepal’s Annapurna Circuit’ has highlighted the enthralling Annapurna range. It has mentioned the Annapurna circuit as: Nepal offers golden temples, charming hill villages, jungle wildlife watching, and the incredible walk around Nepal’s Annapurna massif, which has long been considered one of the world’s great treks.

The scenery is mesmerising and the sense of journey is psychologically satisfying, starting in rice paddies and climbing through yak pastures before crossing the mighty snow-bound Thorung La pass. It’s everything a good trek should be – challenging, majestic and inspirational. And at the end of the day some of Nepal’s best lodges offer hot meals, apple pie and pots of milky tea. However, it’s the side trips that make this a truly great trek, notably up to high-altitude Tilicho Lake or to the village of Ngawal, where terraces offer views of snowcapped peaks just across the valley. Build in a couple of extra days, shake off the crowds, and take your time – this is not scenery to rush through.
