Airport/Tourist bus park picks up on arrival and transfers to the hotel, short arrival info and trip plan at the office.

Early morning by 6 am we drive from Pokhara by Bus for about 4 hours (125 km) to the Besishar. On the way, you can see beautiful villages, farms, fast-flowing rivers, and glimpses of mountain ranges. After lunch we take sharing Jeep or reserved Jeep to reach Jagat on time. 

After breakfast, we begin our trip to Dharapani. First, we leave Jagat, cross a suspension bridge, and reach Tal Village. At Tal, you can witness several waterfalls forming a river by the sandy beaches. However, we will continue the journey that takes us through barley, rice, and potato fields leading us to Dharapani. Lunch on the way.

After breakfast, we start our trek going through a forest with pine, fir, oak, and maple trees, eventually taking us to Chame, the district headquarter of Manang district. You will see yourself surrounded by the green forests, and over you. Lamjung Himal, Annapurna II, and Annapurna IV (7,525m) can be seen from there. Lunch on the way.

After breakfast, we walk through a steep and narrow valley to catch the views of Sworgadwar Rock Face – a curved rock face rising 1500m from the Marshyangdi River after crossing the bridge. From here, you will also see clear views of Annapurna II in the south and Pisang Peak in the northeast. Lunch on the way.

After breakfast, we leave Pisang behind and trek on the upper trails of  Pisang via Ghyaru and Nawal village. This path offers outstanding north face views of Annapurna II, III, IV, Gangapurna, Tilicho, and Pisang Peak. Since we are ascending, you will feel the air turn cold, dry, and harsh. Even in this harsh environment, you will find Tibetan-style settlements. Lunch on the way

As we have gained a lot of elevation, and our body needs to acclimatize, so we will stop at Manang for a day. We will use this day to explore Manang.  In the early morning, we hike up to Gangapurna Lake. During the day after lunch, we can also explore Manang village. Most trekkers visit the Himalayan Rescue Association in Vraga village to learn about Acute Mountain Sickness, its symptoms, and ways to prevent it. 

After breakfast we start our trek to Siri Kharka is an easier way. We take the upper route that leads down to a river, which we will cross, and then continue on a path that takes us through the coniferous forests. After walking for about three hours, we reach Tibetan settlement Khangsar, but we will continue our journey forward to reach Shiri Kharka. On the trails, we will get to see gorgeous views of Gungang Himal and Mt.Chulu. Lunch at camp.

After breakfast, we will leave Siri Kharka in the morning and trek towards Tilicho Base Camp. The path should be easy, but it passes through landslide-prone areas. From the trails, we get to enjoy the impressive rock formations along with magnificent snow peaks – including Tilicho Peak. Now there’s a built of a fence on a tricky part. Lunch camp.

This is one of the special days of the trek as we will be viewing Tilicho Lake itself. But we start our day early in the morning at Tilicho Base Camp to avoid afternoon wind. The path is quite steep, and after laboring for two to three hours, we will reach Tilicho Lake – one of the highest lakes in the world. If possible we will have breakfast there. A well-known French expedition team referred to Tilicho Lake as The Great Ice Lake. Tilicho lake sits surrounded by the majestic peaks – Tilicho Himal, Annapurna Range, and Nilgiri Himal. After enjoying the views of Tilicho Lake, we retrace our path back to Siri Kharka, where we will be spending our night. Lunch on the way.

After breakfast, we descend to the uninhabited Khangsar Village. Our journey continues following out of Khangsar and leads us to Thorong Khola Valley and finally to Yak Kharka. From Yak Kharka, you can get glorious views of the Annapurna mountain ranges. If you are lucky, you may also get sight of blue sheep or even a snow leopard. 

You need to walk up a hill from Yak Kharka to reach Thorong Phedi. Thorong Phedi is the last village that comes before the Thorong La Pass. While walking uphill, you will get to see mesmerizing views of several mountains – including Gudang, Syagang, Khatungkan, and Throrong Peak. Lunch at camp.

Today’s trek will be the most challenging part of this trip, as we will be crossing Thorong La Pass – one of the highest passes in the world. It is also the highest point of the trek. To avoid the afternoon wind, we wake up at Thorong Phedi at 3 am and push ourselves against high altitude and icy air.

When you reach the Thorong La Pass, just by seeing the incredible scenery, you will feel that nature has paid back your efforts handsomely. From here, you can see the Himalayan peaks extending to Tibet in the north, and if you look back, you will see Annapurna standing proud and tall. 

We descend from Thorong La Pass to reach Muktinath – a sacred site for Hindus and Buddhists. 

Lunch at camp.

After a holy visit to Muktinath Temple, come back to the lodge. We take a local bus that takes us to Jomsom. And then walk toward to Marfa village. Explore and enjoy the village
