Annapurna
trek is an extraordinary trek, one of the world’s
best in terms of culture and environmental diversity. Annapurna
Circuit trek provides you dramatic changes in landscape,
culture and climate. To the west, in the interior of the
Annapurna Circuit, is Tilicho Lake, surrounded by snow-peaks.
Annapurna trekking has been wildly recognized as a naturalist's
paradise. The upper sub-alpine steppe environment harbors
some of the rare snow leopards and blue sheep. Other areas
of the region protect bird species such as the multi-coloured
Impeyan, kokla, and blood pheasant amongst a multitude
of other birds, butterflies and insects. Many plants native
to Nepal are found in this forest. The conservation area
has 100 varieties of orchids and some of the richest temperate
rhododendron forest in the world.
