Top 10 highest mountain pass

One of the most popular and challenging trekking routes in the Annapurna region, the Annapurna Circuit Trek (Round Annapurna Trek) is hailed as the holy grail among trekkers. The circuit offers the most picturesque mountain view in all seasons. Hikers will be greeted by the majestic peaks of Annapurna, Pisang, Throng-la, Gangapurna Himal, among others. This trail takes you on a crossing over Thorong-la, one of the highest mountain passes in the world where you’ll be able to see close-up views of the mountain faces and the lower peak in the Himalaya. The journey starts with an easy and varied terrain of pine trees, lush vegetation and rocky trails and gets increasingly challenging towards the summit. Fret not, many have traversed this trail unscathed and brought home with them an unforgettable and fulfilling adventure of a lifetime.

ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT

DAY 1 : Arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu >

DAY 2 : Kathmandu to Chyamche >

DAY 3 : Chyamche-Dharapani >

DAY 4 : Dharapani-Chame >

DAY 5 : Chame- Upper Pisang >

DAY 6 : Upper Pisang- Manang Village>

DAY 7 : Acclimatization Day at Manang Village >

DAY 8 : Manang Village to Yak Kharka >

Maximum height: 4020m | 3 - 4 hours of walking

From the village of Manang, you will continue on to the village of Yak Kharka. As you cross streams, you trek up to village of Tenki, a dainty village of the Limbu people. The trail is full of amazing natural biodiversity and is very peaceful. We will then follow the valley northwards and pass lush pastures to trek through scrubs of juniper hamlets. You will then reach the village of Ghunsa. Passing ancient Mani stone walls and wooden bridges, we will finally reach Yak Kharka.

DAY 9 : Yak Kharka to Thorong Phedi >

Maximum height: 4450m | 3 – 4 hours walking

You will trek to Thorong Phedi bas camp point and stop for the day. You may see some hikers trekking to the High Camp today so that they have a shorter ascent the next day. Do check with you trekking guide if you prefer this option. Our take is we rather you have a restful night at lower altitude than be at the higher and more crowded High Camp for the night before you embark on the most challenging part of the trek.

DAY 10 : Thorong Phedi to Muktinath crossing over the Thorong La Pass >

Maximum height: 5416m | 7 - 8 hours of walking

We will make an early start on our climb to the pass. This is a very steep pass. As we approach the peak, the trail becomes slushy from melted snow. Making our way through rocky ridges, you will arrive at the top of the pass (5416m). The top offers an indescribably magnificent 360 degree panorama of the snow-capped peaks that extend northwards into Tibet. We can also see several peaks of the Annapurna and the beautiful gorge of Kali Gandaki.
Our trail then descends steeply down to Muktinath (3800m) – an important pilgrimage site for the Hindu and Buddhist people.

DAY 11 : Muktinath - Jonsom >

Maximum height: 3760m | 6 hours walk

You will visit the Muktinath temple early in the morning. One of the most distinctive features of this temple is the 108 water taps constructed in the shape of a cow’s head and two small pounds. The Hindu people believe that if you take a bath under all 108 taps (108 is a sacred number in Tibetan Buddhism), you will free yourself from the sin which you committed in your past life. After breakfast, you will start trekking to Jomsom via the Jharkot village.

DAY 12 : Fly from Jonsom to Pokhara >

DAY 13 : Pokhara to Kathmandu >

DAY 14 : Departure >
