There are certainly challenges along the way to reach our maximum elevation of 5416 meters; the Thorong La Pass is a tough feat but believe us when we say, it is worth the effort! When you witness the panoramic views of the mighty Himalayas and experience the warm welcome from the local people, you will surely agree with us that this trek is not to be missed.
The route takes us to the districts of Manang and Mustang, the only Nepali districts “across” the mountains and completely surrounded by the Annapurna Range. We follow the River Marsyangdi from the beginning, all the way to Thorong La Phedi, crossing its crystal, icy waters many times on impressive suspension bridges.
You can try the tasty, crisp apples in Marpha, experience the mischievous winds in the Jomsom Valley and cast your eyes on the world’s deepest gorge that lays between the giants of Annapurna I and Dhaulagiri. Along the way, we visit the oldest monastery in Nepal and traditional Gurung and Thakali villages steeped in culture and Buddhist and Hindu religious rituals.
Have you ever fancied bathing in natural hot spring to relax your muscles after a long day trekking? Well you’re in luck when we reach Tatopani, jump in and replenish your body. Fuel your energy with what Nepalis have hailed “the best dal bhat “ in the country at Ghorepani and sample the local apple pie, cider and brandy in Marpha. This is a trek into a Tibetan influenced wonderland, come along and enjoy the ride!
