Drive from Kathmandu to Jagat (1,290 m / 4,232 ft), covering approximately 200 km in about 6–8 hours depending on road and traffic conditions, marks the beginning of your trekking journey. During the drive, you will pass through scenic countryside landscapes, river valleys, small towns, and terraced farmlands, offering a gradual introduction to rural Nepal. Starting from Kathmandu at around 1,400 m, you descend slightly to Jagat at 1,290 m, resulting in a total altitude loss of approximately 110 m. Jagat is a charming gateway village to the upper Annapurna region, where you will settle in for the night and prepare for the trekking days ahead.

Begin your trek from Jagat to Dharapani along the scenic Marsyangdi Valley trail, covering approximately 15 km in about 6–7 hours as you walk through lush forests, traditional villages, waterfalls, and suspension bridges while following the river upstream and gradually ascending into the upper Annapurna region. This beautiful journey offers a steady and comfortable climb, allowing you to experience both natural landscapes and local culture as you gain altitude from Jagat (1,290 m / 4,232 ft) to Dharapani (1,830 m / 6,003 ft), with a total altitude gain of approximately 540 meters.

Leaving Dharapani behind, the trail gradually climbs toward Chame over a distance of about 16 km, taking approximately 6 hours of trekking through peaceful alpine forests, river valleys, and traditional mountain villages that reflect the authentic lifestyle of the region. As the altitude increases, the surrounding scenery becomes more dramatic, revealing magnificent views of Annapurna II and Lamjung Himal along the way. The journey ends at Chame (2,710 m / 8,891 ft), a lively yet serene mountain town and the district headquarters of Manang, where trekkers can relax in teahouses and prepare for the higher sections of the Annapurna Circuit.

Today’s trek begins from Chame as you make your way towards Pisang, covering approximately 14 km in about 5 hours through the beautiful Marsyangdi Valley. The trail gradually ascends, passing through pine forests, open valleys, terraced farmlands, Mani walls, and traditional stone-built villages that reflect the rich Himalayan culture of the region. As you continue gaining altitude, the scenery becomes more dramatic, offering breathtaking views of Pisang Peak and Annapurna II along the way. The day ends at Pisang (3,300 m / 10,826 ft), a peaceful mountain village known for its stunning landscapes and serene atmosphere.

After breakfast in Pisang, the trek continues towards Manang, covering approximately 17 km in about 6 hours as the trail gradually ascends into a more alpine landscape with fewer trees and more rocky, open terrain. Along the way, you will pass through traditional villages, open valleys, and dramatic Himalayan scenery with stunning views of the surrounding peaks, making the journey both challenging and visually rewarding. The route offers a true transition into high-altitude terrain before reaching Manang (3,540 m / 11,614 ft), an important acclimatization stop on the Annapurna Circuit, where you will find comfortable teahouses, local shops, and breathtaking mountain views ideal for rest and recovery.

Today is an acclimatization day in Manang, designed to help your body adjust to the higher altitude before continuing further into the Himalayas. After breakfast, enjoy a short and scenic hike to Praken Gompa, covering approximately 5 km round trip in about 3 hours, where you can explore the peaceful monastery, interact with monks, and soak in breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. The gentle hike is ideal for gradual altitude adaptation while still allowing you to experience the beauty of the region. After the excursion, return to Manang (3,540 m / 11,614 ft) for rest, relaxation, and an overnight stay, ensuring proper acclimatization for the journey ahead.

After breakfast in Manang, the trek continues towards Yak Kharka, covering approximately 9 km in about 4 hours as the trail steadily ascends into the high-altitude alpine zone with increasingly sparse vegetation and open landscapes. Along the way, you will pass through scenic grazing fields where yaks roam freely, small seasonal teahouses, and panoramic mountain views that reflect the raw beauty of the Himalayas. The journey offers a gradual and steady climb, helping your body adjust to the altitude before reaching Yak Kharka (4,110 m / 13,484 ft), a quiet high-altitude settlement ideal for rest and overnight stay.

From Yak Kharka, the trail makes a short but challenging ascent to Thorong Phedi, covering around 6 km in approximately 3 hours as the landscape shifts into a rugged, high-altitude terrain with rocky paths and very limited vegetation. The climb is steady but demanding due to the increasing elevation and thinner air, offering striking views of the surrounding Himalayan slopes along the way. The trek concludes at Thorong Phedi (4,600 m / 15,091 ft), the essential base camp before crossing Thorong La Pass, where you will spend the remainder of the day resting, acclimatizing, and preparing for the early morning push over the pass.

The journey begins early in the morning from Thorong Phedi as you make the challenging ascent towards Thorong La Pass, covering approximately 13 km in total as you cross one of the highest trekking passes in the world at 5,416 m (17,769 ft). The climb is demanding due to the high altitude and steep terrain, but it rewards you with breathtaking panoramic views of the Himalayas stretching across the horizon. After successfully crossing the pass, you begin a long descent towards Muktinath (3,800 m / 12,467 ft), a sacred pilgrimage site revered by both Hindus and Buddhists, where you will rest after an unforgettable and achievement-filled day.
