Annapurna Section
This section offers spectacular and close views of the Annapurna range. Besides, the Dhaulagiri
range comes in view as well. You get spectacular mountain views all along the trail. This stretch
is mostly populated by the Gurung people, who give you a warm welcome in their homestays.
Although the Annapurna Area is the most touristic trekking area of Nepal, most of the Lower
GHT doesn’t see many tourists (yet), and you find yourself having the beautiful forests all to
yourself at many points still.
