We will begin our trips this morning after breakfast with a drive through the picturesque Nepalese countryside to Bhulbule (850m). Afterward, we will again drive to Jagat (a small hill in the footsteps of Annapurna and Manaslu) by jeep (Full-board accommodation at a tea house).

After breakfast, we’ll take a one-and-a-half-hour rocky trail trek to Chamje hamlet, a small rural population surrounded by bamboo bushes with a primary school. Our adventure continues with a suspension bridge across the Marshyangdi River just after leaving Chamje.

You will view a waterfall, rocky hills, trails, and a little teashop before entering the Manang district soon before Tal village. This is a lovely community on the riverbank with a stunning waterfall view. You’ll cross the river and continue trekking through the cliffs above the river to Dharapani village, where we’ll spend the night. (On a full-board basis, spend the night at a tea house.).

Bagarchhap is about an hour’s walk from Dharapani. This lovely village may see the first glimpse of Mt. Annapurna II. On this day, you will pass through a few steep forested landscapes and multiple landslides; nonetheless, keep your eyes out for some spectacular views of prominent Himalayan peaks.

On your way to Chame on this day, you’ll pass through some traditional Tibetan villages (2670m). Chame is Manang’s district headquarters and one of the most picturesque Himalayan settlements, with near views of Mt. Lamjung and Annapurna II. (Full-board accommodation at a tea house).

Another beautiful stroll through a narrow, steep trail that follows the river bank will lead you to the settlement of Bratang, where you can stop for tea. After that, we followed the forested walk and rough trails for an hour before crossing the suspension bridge and arriving at Dhukur Pokhari for lunch.

This little village will see the first view of Pisang Peak and the surrounding Himalayan peaks. After lunch, we’ll walk for an hour to reach our next destination, Pisang hamlet. (Full-board accommodation at a tea house).

Today we travel through the drier upper route, which is shielded from the monsoon’s full force by the Annapurna Range. For a portion of the year, the people of this region herd yaks and grow vegetables.

The trail continues from Mungji to adjacent Manang, passing through the scenic but largely hidden settlement of Braga (3475m).

Manang, we spent the day acclimating. We spent the entire day doing beautiful day hikes and marveling at the breathtaking vistas around the village; daytime is the optimum time to gain altitude.

The charming community of roughly 500 flat-roofed dwellings is nestled amid some outstanding landscapes – Annapurna II, Annapurna III (7555m), Gangapurna (7454m) to the south, Tilicho (7132m), and the Grand Barrier to the west, and Chulu West (6583m) and Chulu East (6059m) to the north. We return to our lodging and retire for the night at the end of the day. (Full-board accommodation at a tea house).

After a magnificent exploration of Manang village this morning, we started for Yak Kharka, leaving the route to Tilicho Lake on the left corner and continuing a short hike up to Yak Kharka, a little community nestled at the base of the mountain (4110m). We’ll climb gradually towards a small hill, then turn right behind it to reach Yak Kharka/Ledar (4,200m), where we’ll spend the night. Remind yourself that you can hike up to a small hill for a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. (Full-board accommodation at a tea house).

Another short day with views from above takes you to Thorong Phedi’s pass for lunch. A small yet bustling community that caters to the requirements of hikers and climbers. It is located at the base of the Thorong-La, and the trails continue to ascend to the top of the Thorong-La. We trek for an hour after lunch to reach a high camp (4800m) for the night. (On a full board basis, spend the night at a tea house).

It takes 3-4 hours to trek from Thorong peak Phedi to Thorong peak base camp. When you get to Thorong peak base camp, you will have time to recover and prepare for the next day’s ascent. (Full-board accommodation in a tented camp).

Today is dedicated to essential preparation and training for the upcoming summit attempt. You will receive guidance on climbing techniques, use of equipment such as crampons and ice axes, and safety protocols. This day ensures you are physically and mentally ready to take on Thorong Peak with confidence.

To Kagbeni, the trail drops through a stunning, arid environment. Kagbeni can be reached only by crossing the Kaligandaki River on both sides.

Today we will be taking a picturesque alpine trip to Pokhara, so we must gather our belongings and prepare. The aircraft passes between two high peaks, Mt. Annapurna (8091m) and Mt. Dhaulagiri (8167m), giving us the best views. We have a whole day in Pokhara to appreciate the natural beauty.
