Trek to Pisang

This is the day when trek landscapes drastically also change. You will continue walking along the Marsyangdi River in the dense forests. The forest will become thinner as you continue trekking. After crossing the altitude mark of 3,000 meters, the landscape will change into a trans-Himalayan desert, with only some alpine shrubs.

Trek to High Camp

Till you linger at the Thorong High Camp Hotel which is around 45 minutes before going to Thorong High Camp. From the Hotel you will go to the Camp the trek goes up very steeply . However, the facilities in the Hotel are far better than at the Camp, where there is no hot shower and electricity at the dorms. While we opted to spend the night at the Camp to reduce the distance from Thorong La Pass, there is strong case for spending the night in the Hotel to enjoy more comfortable rooms and facilities.

Trek to Muktinath(3800 M) through Thorangla pass(5416 M)

This is the most exciting and challenging day for the trek. At around 2 pm in the night, you also begin at your preparation for the final ascend in the Thorong La Pass.

It is also a steep climb for about 3-4 hours until you reach the stunning vantage point at the Thorang La Pass(5415 M).

The sunrise from this point will be something you will remember for a lifetime.  it gets windy after midday so we will also start our trek early morning. after 2 hours of walking from high camp. we will finally take us to the stunning vantage point of Thorong La Pass. Experience of sunrise from this point is a once in a lifetime experience.

Seeing the first rays of sun hit the Annapurna and Gangapurna is an awesome and dreamlike experience. Reaching Thorong La Pass also gives you a sense of achievement and satisfaction. Prayer flags and mani stones will mark the highest point at Thorong La Pass. After enjoying the view, you move down at the Muktinath Temple, a significant pilgrimage site of Hindus. The temple also holds the utmost importance among the Buddhist community.
