Upon your arrival in Kathmandu, our staff will pick you up and transfer you to the hotel. You can have the rest of the day to yourself. Later, you’ll be given a brief about the trip ahead.

We begin by driving from Kathmandu via a scenic route to Mugling. After a brief stop there, take the route to Pokhara. Before arriving Pokhara, the road forks north to Besisahar. With a second stop at Besisahar, we take the route to Jagat.

It’s a seven hour trek today. Starting after breakfast, we descend to the river and cross it. The terrain gets more and more beautiful as we head north until reaching Tal. At this point the giant peaks of Annapurna have already come into view. Take a rough trail from Tal, cross a dense forest to arrive at the village of Karte, and reach Dharapani in the Manang Valley where we will stay for the night.

At first the trail climbs along a narrow trail through a forest of fir and pine, and then comes to a river. We follow along the river and clip upwards through a forest of oak and maple. Coming out of the forest, we will have excellent views of Annapurna II and Manaslu Range all the way to Koto. The village of Koto is mostly inhabited by the Gurung community. Here, we will sleep in a camp tonight

We will begin after breakfast through a dense forest along a narrow and steep trail. As most of the trail today passes near a gorge made by Nar-Phu River, we will be walking in the cool shades. We will pass through cliffs, bamboo groves, and pine forests. We will even come across a cave and, with a detour, a natural hot spring. Take a break here and continue to Dharmashala. Take a second break here, and clip up a valley to reach Meta. Set up camp for the night in this beautiful location.

Start early with a quick breakfast. Pack your bags and climb the steep winding trail near ridges and moraines. The vegetation is not so dense in this region but today you will have crystal-clear views of the surrounding valleys and hills. Next up, you will pass through some chortens and have wonderful views of Annapurna II and Pisang Peaks. Once you’ve arrived at Phu, you will see an old forts. Set up camp for the night here at Phu.

It’s a day of rest here at Phu. Start at leisure in the morning, take a stroll around the village and see the wide valleys above. Make sure that you take short hikes around to see the amazing landscape. We recommend hiking to a pasture located above the village. Keep fit during the day but return to Phu and explore the village more to witness a unique lifestyle. Sleep early to save up on energy.

Starting from Nar today, we will trek back to the first gate and as soon as we come out of the three gates of Phu, we will head right. We descend through rivers and ruins before arriving at a beautiful gorge. The views are great here, ideal for a break. Then we will ascend through stupas and chortens to arrivea at the village of Nar.

Take a day off at Nar and enjoy the quiet lifestyle in stark contrast to your regular routine. Have a leisurely breakfast in serenity. Later in the day, take short hikes in and around the town – and witness the lifestyle of the village. This is an important day of rest as it will help you acclimatize at the altitude and help you warm up the muscles for an exciting trip ahead.

It’s a long day of trek today, so start early. Ascend through a steep trial with views of Kangru Peak. Arrive at a pasture by a river and trek along with magnificent views of Pisang Peak ahead. Take a break and continue on to Kang-La Phedi, the base of Kang-La Pass. Gradually climb up to have a wonderful views of Pisang, Gangapurna, a section of Annapurna Massif, and Tilicho Peak. If it’s a clear day, you will see the airstrip of Hongde as well. After a break at the pass, descend through a scenic trail to the beautiful village of Ngawal. Set up camp for the night here.

It’s an easy day of trek to Manang. Along the way, you will have wonderful views of Annapurna II, Annapurna III, Gandharva Chuli, Gangapurna, and Pisang peaks. The trail is nearly flat once you begin walking along the bank of Marsyangdi River. Take a break and then enter a pine forest, cross farmlands, and villages until you arrive at the village of Manang. Here you will stay at a lodge or camp for the night.

After breakfast, leave Manang Village, cross a glacial stream and take the route coming out of the Marshyangdi Valley. From there our route turns north crossing a grassland, some juniper woods prior to arriving at Ghunsa hamlet. From Ghunsa, we cross yet another pasture, cross a river and come to an ancient mani wall. Have a brief stop here, take some pictures and trek a little further to arrive at the village of Yak Kharka at 4,110 meters. Stay overnight at Yak Kharka.

Thorang Phedi is actually the base of the popular Thorang-La Pass. “Phedi” literally means “base”. After breakfast, we leave Yak Kharka and trek uphill, cross a river to Ledar village where we make a stop. Rest for some time, then trek trough cliffs and arrive at Thorang Phedi. Here we will be staying for the night.

In the morning you will see how wonderful the views of the mountains are. Drinking your coffee or tea, you might want to identify the mountains one by one – but these are lesser known mountains with legends of their own. Pack your bags, for it’s a long day with nearly nine hours of walking. First, trek to Thorang-La Pass, one of the highest mountain passes in the world. Enjoy the feeling, take some photos, and move on. Next, we will be trekking to the Valley of Muktinath on the other side of the pass. It’s mostly a similar kind of terrain today once you head towards Muktinath, where you will stay for the nigh

Leaving behind the pilgrimage site of Muktinath, we head towards Kagbeni immediately after breakfast. Further, the windy village of Jomsom past Kagbeni, used to be a trading town when business was flourishing between Tibet and Nepal in the middle ages. Today, it is a quiet village at the foot of the mountains. Once here, you can visit the Ecological Museum frequented by trekkers. Enjoy your stay at Jomsom tonight in the vicinity of the mountains before heading back to Pokhara tomorrow.

We will take an early-morning flight from Jomsom as later in the day flights are not operated due to high winds. It can get so windy in Jomsom that the locals have stories about flying boulders and sweeping stones! In Pokhara, you can enjoy the rest of day sipping beer by the lake or, if you feel like it, resting in the hotel room. In the evening though, do not miss the “Thakali” daal-bhaat in Pokhara.

Depending upon the schedule, you can drive or fly to Kathmandu from Pokhara. Once you are in the capital, have a free day enjoying shopping, hot-water bathing, relaxing in a sauna, or simply seeing around town. Stay overnight at the hotel.

After breakfast, we will take you on a sightseeing tour of some iconic places in the Kathmandu Valley, that will essentially include UNESCO World Heritage sites. In the evening, you are invited to join us for a farewell dinner.

According to your schedule, we will take you to the airport for your flight ahead.
