Annapurna Circuit Short Trek

This is the day you will start our trek. After breakfast, you will go to the descending trail through lush green forests. You will also pass villages like Chyamje, Sattale, Tal, and Karte at this day.

Suspension bridges and trails carved at the rocky cliffs will add a thrilling factor at the hike. Mountains come to sight at the first day of the trek. It is an easy walk tool. Your stop for the night will be at  Dharapani.

On this day, on your way to Chame, you will trek at some forest ridges. The trail is mostly flat and very easy. You will also be accompanied through a view of peaks such as Lamjung Himal, Annapurna II and Annapurna IV. You will have to come across a hot spring in  your journey. Your overnight night destination will be Chame. Chame is district headquarters for Manang. You will see shops where you can prepare for the trek in the last minute preparation. It’s also an administrative center. At Chame will be done overnight.

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. You can either go trekking through Upper Pisang or Lower Pisang. The Upper Pisang trail is comparatively steeper but the scenery is unreal. The lower Pisang way is easier. Choose one that best fits you. Overnight at Pisang. 

Here in the day 5, we will be going through several picturesque land terrains and will go through the wonder place of Nawal. We will spent our overnight there.

Today, our final destination will be Manang. this is a very famous city in the whole Manang district. n Peaks such as Annapurna, Gangapurna, and Tilicho are also visible nearly all along the route. Unique rock formations that have a thin forest of pine trees will make up a magnificent scenery.

You will get the monastery in Braga which is around 400 years old. For the locals, this monastery has historic and religious importance. The architecture is amazingly brilliant itself. You will continue further ahead till you reach the beautiful Manang village. At Manang will stay overnight. 

We will be going to the Lyadar and will be having some rocky ride in the steep land terrains in the region. We also take some rest in Lyadar. Overnight at Lyadar.

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.

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 will get windy at the day, so starting the ascent early in the morning is the right choice. 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.

Today is your last day in the mountains. we will be going to take a long drive from Muktinath. After breakfast at the hotel, our journey will start with a drive through the mountain road of Annapurna. it gives us an extra opportunity to see multiple views of the mountains during this time period. At first, we will drive through Jomsom, Marpha, Tatopani, and Beni, after Beni,
