Short description about Annapurna region
Ecological and cultural issues in the Annapurna Region are not too different from those in other Himalayan regions - except that they are greater in magnitude. Within a short distance of about 120km, the altitude varies from less than 100m to 8091m at Annapurna 1, the eighth highest peak in the world. Due to its geographic features and terrain, it provides many micro-climates supporting sub-tropical lowlands and forests in the plains and the valleys, lush rhododendron and temperate evergreen forests in the South of the Annapurna, and alpine steppe and arid environments to the North of the Annapurna region. This area contains over 100 species of orchids and many of Nepal's 700 medicinal plants. Annapurna trekking has been wildly recognized as a naturalist's paradise. The upper sub-alpine steppe environment harbours 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 some of the richest temperate rhododendron forest in the world.
The Annapurna Conservation Area (ACA) encircles the major peaks of the Annapurna Himal with an area of 2600 sq. km. Catchments of three major river systems are roughly bordered by the major trekking route. It is also home to over 50,000 people of different ethnic and tribal backgrounds with various religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Bon Po, Shamanism and Animism represented. Gurung, Magar, Thakali and Manangi are the dominant groups. Generally, these people are subsistence farmers who depend on the forests for fuel, fodder and timber.
The Annapurna Conservation Area the Annapurna region is by far the most popular trekking destination in Nepal attracting over 60% of the total overseas trekkers in Nepal.
The natural environment, resources and cultural integrity of this region are deteriorating due to over-grazing, intensive agriculture, poverty and a high population growth rate, and the influx of this large number of trekkers. Rational forest management for a sustainable yield of timber is not common. These factors mean that the cultural and natural environments of the region are in jeopardy.
In view of this environmental deterioration in, one of the most spectacular regions of Nepal. There are four major trekking routes in central Nepal: to Ghorepani / Poon Hill trekking, Jomsom / Muktinath trekking, Annapurna Sanctuary / Base Camp trekking, and around Annapurna Himal itself.
Pokhara is also a good starting place for short treks of one to seven days is including the Around Annapurna, Thorung la pass trekking, Narphu valley trekking, Tilicho lake pass trekking, Mardi himal Trekking, Ghorepani trekking, Around Dhaulagiri trekking, Annapurna sanctuary trekking, Royal trek, Siklish trek, Panchase trek, Ghandrung trek, Sarangkot trek, Dhampus trek, Mustang trekking, Kaligandaki valley trekking, Jomsom trekking, Muktinath trekking, Nar - Fu valley, Lamjung Himal and many more….
