3. The Annapurna Circuit

What Everest has in size, the Annapurna range more than makes up in sheer diversity. It takes in virtually every range of scenery Nepal has to offer, ranging from the sub-tropical to alpine forests, from semi-desert to mountain passes. It is also home to many tribal villages, both Buddhist and Hindu. Whilst trekking in Nepal you’ll get to meet the hospitable people of these remote villages.
