Annapurna Region
The Annapurna region of Nepal is recognized for its spectacular views of some of the world's most picturesque sites, including the Kali Gandaki, the world's deepest valley. Along the way, trekkers may see some of the world's highest peaks, including Annapurna I and Dhaulagiri.Annapurna gets its name from two Sanskrit words: "Anna" (food) and "Purna" (fullness). When these terms are combined, they mean "provider of food" or "one who is full of food." This word is most likely developed from the abundance of food and diverse plant life in the Annapurna area.
The Annapurna Circuit trek is a well-known 200-kilometer trekking route in Nepal's Annapurna area. The full circuit takes around 15-20 days to complete, although it may be finished in as little as 10-12 days if you are a quick trekker.The Annapurna Circuit journey is surrounded by various tourist attractions. Many tourists visit the same places, such as Annapurna Base Camp, Poon Hill, Ghandruk, and Jomsom, Tilicho Lake, and Thorong-La, but you may also explore lesser-known locations and towns in the region. Along the trip, you may also come across some of the most spectacular mountain vistas.
