United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification. Nepal’s shrinking Annapurna Circuit : Hiking. In less than a year, a road will cut Nepal's classic 250-kilometre Annapurna Circuit in half, threatening the livelihoods of local villages and turning one of the world’s most challenging treks into a short hike in the Himalayas.
Related photo gallery: Hiking the Annapurna Circuit The Annapurna Circuit features several famous Himalayan high peaks including Manaslu, Dhaulagiri and Annapurna I, II, III and IV, with Annapurna I towering at 8,091 metres as the 10th highest peak in the world. A good taste of the trek, which includes Thorong La pass (the highest point at 5,416 metres) and skips much of the terrain thereafter, can be done in 10 to 12 days, but trekking the entire 250-kilometre route requires closer to three weeks.
When the road is fully constructed in spring of 2012, the first 10 days of the trip will be cut to a two-day dusty drive. Firepit images. Maps.
