The Annapurna region of Nepal is a land so gorgeous; it's long been the ultimate trekking dream for hikers. Here, the sacred peaks of Annapurna, Machapuchare and Dhaulagiri, shining with snow year round, tower over ancient rhododendron forests, icy glaciers/ rivers, and temperate jungles where leopard still roam. Plenty of trekkers come here for all this beauty - but few stray off the tourist routes. Pristine treks visit off-the-beaten-track villages in the Annapurna region. Walkers stay in village communities - sometimes in people's homes - so there's time for real interaction with Nepalis. We eat with families. We visit a village weaving workshop, a cheese making project, and have the chance to partake the celebration of two of the year's major festivals Dashain and Tihar. We stay at a yak farming project on the laps of the Annapurna, and the high point of our trek is a visit to sacred Khayer Lake (4500m) surrounded with shrines, and with the peak of Annapurna towering above. - See more at: http://www.pristinetrekking.com/index.php/khopra-trek#sthash.6CKb6ghk.dpuf
