Publisher's Synopsis
Annapurna is the tenth highest mountain in the world. Its chocolate-box peaks bask in a 2,946 square mile conservation zone, which presents the dramatic backdrop for the renowned Circuit Trail. 145 miles long, the Circuit kisses the Tibetan Plateau as it rises gracefully to an altitude of 5416 meters. Passing through river valleys, waterfalls, subtropical forests, and traditional Hindu villages, the Circuit has earned itself a reputation as being one of the best treks in the world.
