The Annapurna Range consists of the massifs of Annapurna I, II, III, IV, and the Annapurna South peaks. The range also includes the famous Macchapuchare, the "Fish-Tail" Mountain - the mascot of Pokhara. The trek's major highlights are the settlement of Manang, Thorong-La (pass) which was the ancient mid-western salt route between Nepal and Tibet, the temple of Muktinath, and the Kali Gandaki gorge- the deepest in the world. On crossing the Thorong-La pass, one can see the Tibetan plateau to the north, Annapurna Range to the south, and the "forbidden kingdom" of Mustang to the west.
