Once the world's most celebrated trek, the Annapurna Circuit climbs from subtropical valleys through Gurung and Manangi villages and Tibetan-influenced highlands, crossing the 5,416m Thorong La Pass into the arid Mustang side of the range before descending to the pilgrimage town of Muktinath and flying out from Jomsom.
