It is impossible to walk the 300km Annapurna Circuit without meeting local people.  From those who work in the tourist industry to farmers in the fields, the local culture is varied and vibrant.

If you take the time, the opportunity to learn is endless.  From the sub-tropical beginning of the trek at Bhule Bhule to the high altitudes of Yak Kharka, Thorung La and Muktinath, the people are as diverse as the are friendly.

You may be surprised to discover that you learn about yourself as well.
