Preparation day regarding expedition

It is a long day of drive to our trekking region. We drive to Besi Shahar, 173 km west of Kathmandu, by bus. We drive along the Prithvi Highway that passes through several beautiful towns with views of incredible rural life in Nepal. We can also enjoy the view of snow-capped mountains at distance. The highway, at most of its stretch, goes along side glacial rivers where we can see rafters enjoying the rapids of water. We reach Besi Shahar to change the bus to a local jeep to drive to Syange past Bahundanda on 30 kilometers of dirt road. We check into a lodge and spend time lazing around.

We start the trekking journey on the Annapurna Circuit Trekking trail today. We get ready for the walk after breakfast and set out for an exciting day of trekking on the mountain trail. Our walk goes higher along the Marshyngdi river valley towards Dharapani village. The trail brings views of awesome landscape. We walk past the beautiful villages of Jagat, Chamje and reach Tal village on the bank of Marshyangdi River. After crossing Marshyangdi River over a suspension bridge near Tal village, we ascend to Dharapani to stay overnight

On the second day of trekking on the beautiful Annapurna Circuit route, we are heading to Chame. Beautiful views of Manaslu and Annapurna II must make our day joyful. Other than the mountains, the landscape and the life style of the region are fascinating too. As we go higher, we feel the change in vegetation. With enough breaks along the way, we eventually reach Chame village to spend quiet time lazing around.

We are gaining elevation on each day of our walk and can feel the change in the landscape, vegetation and life style as we go higher. Our trek for the day takes us to beautiful village of Pisang that is used as the gateway village for Pisang Peak climbing adventure. The stretch today brings the views of mountain peaks right from Chame. We can enjoy the view of Annapurna II and Manaslu from Chame and Annapurna IV and Lamjung Himal as we advance along on the trail.

It is the day we trek to Pisang peak base camp for our Pisang peak climbing adventure. Our trek today takes us for over 1,000 meters of elevation gain when we reach the base camp. The trail passes through tiny villages, wooded parts and pastures. We will make it to the base camp a little early in the afternoon so, we will have plenty of time to soak into the atmosphere of base camp. Once we settle into our camp, we can take some strolls around to enjoy the charm of the place and also to acclimatize with the growing elevation.

It is another day of big elevation gain, of another about 1,000 meters, when we trek up to the high camp. The adventurous day takes us up in the mountain where we plod up towards the destination for the day. Once we reach the high camp, we settle into our camp and spend the day praising the views and nature and adjusting with the increasing elevation and decreasing level of oxygen in the air.

As the main day of the trip, we get ready early, much before the day light breaks, for the summit climb. The rocky face of the mountain brings us a tough challenge to climb through where we need to use fixed ropes and main rope to climb. As the struggle up is over and reach the top, we are greeted with spectacular views of the mountains in the vicinity. We enjoy the view and the moments at the top the most before descending all the way back down to base camp.

It’s an extra day to compensate any possible delays on the summit climb. If we do not use this day, we will trek to Manang today.

If we use the contingency day, we trek to Manang today. We trek along the trail towards Manang valley and pass through tiny and beautiful villages and wooded sections. When we reach Manang village we will have time to explore around the beautiful village.

We relish our delicious breakfast at the lodge in Manang and get ready to leave the beautiful village behind. Our trek for the day takes us to Letdar Phedi. The trail to Letdar brings us wonderful views of the mountainous landscape that looks completely different than the one in the lower elevation that we walked past. After about five hours of traversing the trail section, we reach our lodge in Letdar Phedi.

We leave Letdar after breakfast and trek towards Thorang Phedi. It is just a short trek of about two hours to Thorang Phedi where we take a good rest to proceed towards high camp. The trek to Thorang High Camp will be another good hour of struggling uphill. We will have spectacular view of the mountains from the high camp and around.

It is a challenging day today but definitely a worth taking it. Our day starts before the break of the dawn higher towards the pass. About three hours of slow paced struggle towards Thorang La, through several false passes along the trail, eventually takes us to the spectacular pass that stands at 5,416 meters above sea level. We spend some moments there taking pictures and enjoying the view around.

Later, we descend all the way to Muktinath where there is a beautiful and sacred temple for Hindus. We will have plenty of time to explore Muktinath area as we reach there early afternoon.

We walk on the wonderful landscape of lower Mustang region along the stretch of Muktinath to Jomsom. Initially, the trail descends to Kagbeni village on the bank of Kali Gandaki River through several beautiful places with spectacular view. From Kagbeni onwards, we trek along the Kali Gandaki River to Jomsom. The trail can get windy during the afternoon as it lies in the valley between two gigantic mountain ranges � Dhaulagiri and Annapurna. Once we reach Jomsom, we can laze around the beautiful town.

We take early morning breakfast and go to airport to board the flight to Pokhara. Another short but spectacular flight takes us to Pokhara. Once we check into hotel, we will have free time to relax and enjoy time on our own. The easy laze around helps us get some relief from the tiredness of walking through the rough and weathered terrain of upper Mustang for several days

Early in the morning, after breakfast, we get on the bus to drive back to Kathmandu. About seven hours of overland journey takes us back to Kathmandu. Once we are in Kathmandu, we go to hotel and spend the whole day at leisure on our own. Finding relieving massage, good food, souvenir shopping, and wandering around can keep you busy for the day.

A farewell dinner is scheduled for this evening. We will let you know the departure time for dinner once we reach Kathmandu.

The final day of the trip, we drive you to airport for your scheduled flight homebound or other destination. We will pick you up 3 hours prior to your flight schedule.
