      Today we get an early start as we head off on a 190-kilometer, and 6.5-hour road trip to Besisahar Village. From Besisahar we will travel by jeep drive to Dharapani.

      Day 3: Trek From Dharapani To Chame (2650M) Duration 5-6 Hours.

      As you would expect from higher elevations the vegetation and landscape noticeably changes. It is also cooler as we follow the trail through forested areas until reaching Bagarchhap, a typical Tibetan style village along with its unique architecture. We continue to climb higher and reach the apple orchards and farms at Dhanaqi Village. From this vantage point, we also have some amazing views of Lamjung and Annapurna II peaks. Continuing along the banks of the Marsyangdi River we head upriver to Ratamanang and Koto villages until we reach Chame. Chame also happens to be the district headquarters of the Manang region. Tonight we will stay in a guesthouse with breakfast, lunch & dinner included.

      Leaving Chame we pass through the village of Telekhu and on the trail have some wonderful views of the Annapurna Ranges and Mt. Pisang (6091m) until we have to re-cross a suspension bridge to the south side of the Marsyangdi River. After crossing the river we ascend and pass a pine-forest following the trail through the upper reaches of the Manang Valley before arriving at Pisang.

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5: Trek To Manang (3500M) Duration 5-6 Hours.

      Pisang is the start of our trek in the upper Manang area. Today we trek to Braga; a Tibetan village with its distinctive architecture and houses constructed one upon the other. One of Manangโ€™s main attractions is its Gompa, being the largest in the Manang region. Manang is also popular with trekkers who stay here in order to acclimatize before heading to higher altitudes.

  • Day 6 Day 6: Exploration & Acclimatization At Manang.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 6: Exploration & Acclimatization At Manang.

      Health and climbing professionals recommend that before heading to higher elevations that trekkers should spend some time acclimatizing. They also strongly recommend staying active. From Manang you will have some great views of Annapurna II; Annapurna III (7555m); Gangapurna (7454 m); and to the south to Tilicho (7132 m); and the Grand Barrier (a 7000m ridge) to the west; Chulu West (6583m) and Chulu East (6059m) to the north. In order to better acclimatize to these higher altitudes, we will trek up to Mt. Khangsar (3756m) and then return to Manang.

  • Day 7 Day 7: Trek To Yak Kharka (4,000M) Duration 4-5 Hours.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 7: Trek To Yak Kharka (4,000M) Duration 4-5 Hours.

      Today we have a 10.4 km uphill trek to Yak Kharka passing through juniper forests and along the trail will see yak grazing in these alpine pastures. On the route, we also pass the only teahouse at Thorong Khola (river). Depending on the weather and trail conditions we may decide to go a little further and stay the night at Ledar.

  • Day 8 Day 8: Trek To Thorang Phedi (4,450M) Duration 4-5 Hours.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 8: Trek To Thorang Phedi (4,450M) Duration 4-5 Hours.

      As we slowly ascend higher our body progressively gets used to the higher altitude. We follow along the east bank of the Jarang Khola (river) and view steep bluffs before reaching Thorong Phedi (meaning foot-hills). We may also decide to follow the trail for one more hour to High Camp (4800m). If we are fortunate we will see the famous blue sheep and possibly a snow leopard! This is also home to Lammergeyer (bearded vulture). There is also a belief legendary griffons are in this region!

  • Day 9 Day 9: Trek To Muktinath (3,800M) Via Thorang-La Pass (5,416 M) Duration 8-9 Hours.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 9: Trek To Muktinath (3,800M) Via Thorang-La Pass (5,416 M) Duration 8-9 Hours.

      Today is probably going to be one of the most physically demanding days of the trek, hiking for between 8 and 9 hours. The higher altitude certainly makes it more difficult, and sometimes the strong winds in these upper regions make it harder too. Along the trail, we might pass sheep, yaks, and merchants transporting their goods by Yak or donkey. Once we reach Thorong La Pass we will have some truly amazing views of Annapurna, Gangapurna, and the eye-catching peak of Khatungkang (6484m). Crossing the pass we then descend about 1600 meters. Dhaulagiri (Dhavali Giri, meaning โ€œWhite Mountainโ€) and the highest mountain that is entirely in Nepal is also visible. The trail is more undulating and quite easy before coming to Muktinath.

  • Day 10 Day 10: Trek To Jomsom (2,720M) Duration 5-6 Hours.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 10: Trek To Jomsom (2,720M) Duration 5-6 Hours.

      After leaving Muktinath we follow the trail through lush meadows, past orchards and streams. We also pass the village of Kagbeni before reaching Jomson located in the Kali Gandaki Valley. Kagbeni has a reputation for its intense horticulture industry.

  • Day 11 Day 11: Drive From Jomsom To Pokhara (8,50M) Duration 7-8 Hours.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 11: Drive From Jomsom To Pokhara (8,50M) Duration 7-8 Hours.

      Today we drive to Pokhara by local bus on a 7-8 hour journey, firstly arriving at Tatopani via Beni Bazaar and then on to Pokhara. Pokhara is famous for its lake โ€“ Phew Tal, and is popular with travelers. It has all the facilities of a small city. Your hotel will be by โ€œLakesideโ€. You may wish to watch the sunset over the lake and the mountains. It is a great way to end the day and relax.

  • Day 12 Day 12: Drive Back To Kathmandu (1,350M) Duration 6-7 Hours.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 12: Drive Back To Kathmandu (1,350M) Duration 6-7 Hours.

      Today we head back on a 6 to 7 hour drive to Kathmandu with many warm memories of Nepal and its unique culture, village people and geography. These memories will be with you for a long time - and as you look back on them they will put a smile on your face.

  • Day 13 Day 13: Transfer To The International Airport For Your Final Departure.
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm
