An early morning drive takes you out of Kathmandu and into the lush hillsides of central Nepal. The journey offers stunning views of terraced fields, rivers, and rural villages. After a long drive, you’ll reach Syange, the starting point of the trek, where you’ll spend the night.

The trek begins with a gradual ascent through lush forests and along the Marsyangdi River. You’ll pass charming villages like Jagat and Chamje, where you can witness the daily lives of local people. As you gain altitude, the landscape begins to change, offering more views of the surrounding peaks.

Today’s trek takes you through dense pine forests and along narrow valleys. The trail offers breathtaking views of Lamjung Himal, Annapurna II, and Annapurna IV. As you approach Chame, the headquarters of the Manang District, you’ll be surrounded by towering mountains.

The trail continues to ascend as you head toward Pisang. You’ll cross several suspension bridges and pass through forests before the valley opens up, revealing the stunning Pisang Peak. Pisang village offers a unique blend of traditional Tibetan culture and spectacular mountain views.

The trek to Manang offers two route options: the lower route through Humde or the higher, more scenic route via Ghyaru. The latter offers panoramic views of Annapurna, Tilicho Peak, and other majestic mountains. Upon reaching Manang, you’ll notice the stark contrast in landscape, with the arid, Tibetan-influenced region providing a unique environment.

Acclimatization is crucial before heading to higher altitudes. You’ll spend the day exploring the Manang Valley, with options to visit the Gangapurna Lake or hike up to the surrounding ridges for better acclimatization. Manang also offers cultural insights with its monasteries and traditional homes.

Leaving Manang, the trail gradually ascends towards Yak Kharka. As you trek higher, the air becomes thinner, and the landscape more rugged. You’ll pass through alpine meadows where you might spot grazing yaks. The day is relatively short to aid in acclimatization.

Today’s trek takes you to the base of the Thorong La Pass. The trail offers stunning views of the Chulu West and Thorong Peak. As you approach Thorong Phedi, the terrain becomes more barren and rocky, setting the stage for the challenging climb ahead.

A pre-dawn start is crucial for the summit attempt. The climb is steep and challenging, requiring technical skills and endurance. Upon reaching the summit, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, as well as the arid landscapes of Mustang. After savoring the achievement, you’ll descend back to Thorong Phedi.

Another early start takes you over the Thorong La Pass, one of the highest trekking passes in the world. The climb is strenuous, but the views from the top are unforgettable. The descent to Muktinath is long but rewarding, as you enter the sacred grounds of this pilgrimage site revered by both Hindus and Buddhists.

The final day of trekking descends through the Kali Gandaki Gorge, the deepest gorge in the world. The landscape changes dramatically as you move from the high alpine zone to the drier, more arid region of Mustang. You’ll reach Jomsom, a bustling town known for its windswept landscapes and access to the Annapurna and Mustang regions.

A scenic morning flight takes you from Jomsom to Pokhara, offering aerial views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. Upon arrival in Pokhara, you can relax by the lakeside, explore the town, or enjoy the cafes and shops. Pokhara’s laid-back atmosphere is the perfect way to unwind after the expedition.

After breakfast, you’ll either drive or fly back to Kathmandu. Upon arrival, you can spend the rest of the day exploring the city, shopping for souvenirs, or relaxing. In the evening, a farewell dinner will be arranged to celebrate the successful completion of your Thorong Peak expedition.
