After an early breakfast, we set off on a scenic drive to Jagat. The journey takes approximately 8-9 hours, winding through beautiful landscapes and traditional villages. As we travel along the Prithvi Highway and follow the Marsyangdi River, enjoy views of the lush greenery and the majestic Himalayas. Upon arrival in Jagat, we’ll settle into our guesthouse and prepare for the trek ahead.

Today marks the start of our trekking adventure. We will follow a well-defined trail through terraced fields and charming villages. After crossing a suspension bridge, we ascend gradually, taking in the beautiful surroundings. After 5-6 hours of trekking, we arrive in Dharapani, a quaint village located at the junction of the Annapurna Circuit and Manaslu region, where we’ll spend the night.

As we continue our trek today, the trail leads us through lush pine forests and offers stunning views of the surrounding peaks. After approximately 5-6 hours of hiking, we reach Chame, the administrative center of the Manang District. Enjoy the local hot springs and relax after a rewarding day of trekking.

We’ll trek to Upper Pisang today, taking in breathtaking views of Annapurna II and the surrounding landscapes. The trail is relatively easy with some uphill sections. After 5-6 hours of trekking, we arrive at Upper Pisang, where we’ll be treated to spectacular views of the Annapurna range and the chance to experience local culture.

Today is dedicated to acclimatization, allowing your body to adjust to the altitude. You can take short hikes to nearby viewpoints, such as the old monastery at Upper Pisang, or simply relax and enjoy the stunning scenery. This rest day is crucial for your body as we prepare for the ascent to Pisang Peak.

After breakfast, we undertake a steady ascent toward the base camp of Pisang Peak. The trail is marked by rocky terrain and breathtaking views. After 4-5 hours, we arrive at Pisang Peak Base Camp, where we’ll set up camp. Take the evening to rest and enjoy the serene surroundings as we prepare for the next day’s climb.

Today, we ascend to High Camp. This is a challenging day as the terrain becomes steeper and more rugged. After several hours of climbing, we will reach High Camp, where we’ll set up our tents and rest for the evening. Enjoy the stunning views of the Annapurna range as the sun sets.

Today is the highlight of our adventure as we make our summit attempt on Pisang Peak. We’ll start early to reach the summit in the best conditions. The climb is demanding but incredibly rewarding. After enjoying the breathtaking views from the top, we will return to Base Camp to rest and celebrate our achievement.

This day is reserved as a contingency day in case of unfavorable weather conditions during our summit attempt. If everything has gone according to plan, use this day to rest, explore the surroundings, or simply enjoy the tranquility of the mountains.

After packing up camp, we begin our descent toward Manang Valley. The trail is scenic and offers beautiful views as we retrace our steps. After 5-6 hours of hiking, we arrive in Manang, where we can enjoy the local culture and breathtaking scenery. Settle into your accommodation and relax after a rewarding trek.

We continue our journey today with a trek to Yak Kharka. The trail gradually ascends, providing us with stunning views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. After about 3-4 hours, we reach Yak Kharka, a small settlement known for its yak herding. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and prepare for the ascent to Thorong Phedi.

Today’s trek takes us to Thorong Phedi, the base for our climb to Thorong La Pass. The trail is scenic and not too strenuous, taking around 3-4 hours to reach our destination. Upon arrival, we’ll check into our lodge and prepare for the challenging pass crossing tomorrow.

Today is a long but exhilarating day as we cross Thorong La Pass, the highest point of the trek. We start early, and after several hours of climbing, we reach the pass. The views from the top are awe-inspiring, making the effort worthwhile. After enjoying the moment, we descend toward Muktinath, a sacred site for both Hindus and Buddhists. We will continue our descent to Jomsom, where we’ll spend the night.

After breakfast, we’ll take a scenic flight from Jomsom to Pokhara. Enjoy the stunning views of the mountains during the flight. Once in Pokhara, explore the lakeside area, relax, or visit sites like the World Peace Pagoda and Gupteshwor Cave.

After breakfast, we’ll drive back to Kathmandu. The journey takes about 6-7 hours, offering one last chance to admire the beautiful landscapes of Nepal. Upon arrival, check into your hotel and enjoy a free evening to explore or shop in the vibrant Thamel district.
