Our van will transport you to the hotel, typically in Thamel, which is 20 to 30 minutes from the airport depending on traffic.
There are no planned activities for today other than our travel briefing meeting, so you can relax after checking into the hotel. When you arrive, we will inform you of the briefing time.

The journey to the area where we would be trekking is long. We take a bus 173 kilometers west of Kathmandu to Besi Shahar. We go down the Prithvi Highway, which passes through a number of lovely towns and provides glimpses of Nepal’s extraordinary rural life. We can also take pleasure in the distant vista of the snow-covered mountains. Most of the time, the roadway follows glacial rivers, where we can watch rafters enjoying the waters rapids.

After breakfast we take local 4-wheel jeep to Chyamje. On the Annapurna Circuit Trekking path, our adventure officially begins today. After breakfast, we prepare for the hike and depart for a fantastic day of mountain hiking. We ascend the Marshyngdi river valley as we make our way to the village of Dharapani.
The route offers amazing views of the surroundings. We go on foot till we arrive at Tal village on the Marshyangdi Rivers bank. We climb towards Dharapani to spend the night after crossing the Marshyangdi River on a suspension bridge close to Tal settlement.

We are climbing to Chame on the second day of the stunning Annapurna Circuit journey. We must feel happy today because of the spectacular views of Manaslu and Annapurna II. Along with the mountains, the regions scenery and way of life are remarkable. We notice the greenery changing as we ascend higher. We ultimately arrive at Chame village with enough rest stops along the route to get some peaceful time to ourselves.

Every day that we hike, we gain altitude, and as we do, we can sense how the terrain, plants, and way of life change. We journey for the day to the lovely village of Pisang, which serves as the starting point for ascending the Pisang Peak.
The trail offers great views of summits starting at Chame along the way. As we continue on the trail, we can take in the views of Annapurna II and Manaslu from Chame and Annapurna IV and Lamjung Himal.

We visit Manang village, a stunning settlement in the area, as part of our day hike. Additionally, Manang serves as the administrative center for the hiking area of Manang. We can see that the four-wheel drive road terminates in Manang once we arrive.
We can hike the correct mountain trail farther away from Manang for the duration of the day. We may take a leisurely stroll through Manang and see the many cultural and ecological beauties that this stunning location has to offer.

The trail ascends sharply to the last permanent town, Tenki, after passing through Manang. The trail briefly ascends to Gunsang, a little community of tea houses with a breathtaking mountain outlook.
The name Yak Kharka, or Yak Pastures, comes from the vast grazing plains when it finally flattens out. This will be our stop for the day.

After breakfast and mesmerizing view of the surrounding, we proceed along the twisting trail along with large rock formation. We will set our camp close to a breathtaking viewpoint with views of the towering Annapurna mountains.

We stay an extra day in the base camp to acclimate to the declining oxygen content of the air. We take a trekking trip around the viewpoint to discover the areas breathtaking splendor. We will be able to adapt to the altitude relatively soon because we are already higher than Manang. When the hiking exploration is finished, we return to our camp and relax.

On our way to camp II, the challenge for today involves some difficult rock climbing. The entire trail involves tricky rock walking, yet not being particularly difficult. After we arrive at the camp and set up camp, we take our time getting acclimated and taking in the scenery.

The biggest day of our adventure has come. We will aim to reach the peak of Chulu West Peak, which is situated 6,419 meters above sea level. Before the sun even rises, our summit journey starts and climbs its way to the top.
We laboriously ascend the peak till we reach the top for a mesmerizing view of the surrounding mountains in the area. After enjoying some lovely minutes at the summit, we eventually start the long descent back to Lather, where we will spend the night.

After having breakfast while enjoying breath taking view of Chulu west, we start our trek. The trail follows a branch of Marsyangdi river to reach Phedi after walk of around 5 hours.

We must rise early today to cross Thorung La Pass (5416 m). As soon as you leave camp, the trail steepens; the path is clearly marked. After almost four hours of steady ascent, the gradient flattens. We are surrounded by the brown and purple hills of Mustang, providing a once-in-a- lifetime view position, from the snowcapped mountains above to the Kali Gandaki valley below.

After breakfast at your teahouse, go to Muktinath Temple, a significant place of worship for both Buddhists and Hindus in Nepal. You will get the chance to tour the main temple before starting the walk.
Start your straightforward, downhill route back to Jomsom from this point. As you follow your original path again, Mt. Dhaulagiri will be clearly visible. To see one more monastery, take in the scenery of the snow-capped mountains, and explore some prehistoric caverns, proceed through Jarkot. While appreciating the signs of the unique Tibetan culture, keep a look out for locals who might try to sell pilgrims something.

We eat breakfast in the morning before heading to the airport to catch the plane to Pokhara. We have another brief, beautiful flight to Pokhara. After landing in Pokhara we will take another flight of around 30 minutes which will take us to Kathmandu.

The trip ends in this day. Our Airport Representative will drop you to the Kathmandu international airport for your final flight departure from Nepal. It is recommended to reach airport 2 and a half hours prior to your departure time.
