Home to Annapurna I, the 10th highest peak in the world at 8,091 meters, this region offers trekkers a wide range of routes that cater to all levels of experience, from moderate to challenging. Trekkers can explore terraced farming villages, dense rhododendron forests, high-altitude deserts, and traditional Gurung and Magar communities.
