Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, you will be warmly welcomed by our representative and transferred to your hotel in Kathmandu. This day is reserved for rest and recovery after your international journey. In the evening, there will be a short trek introduction and briefing.

Today you explore the cultural heart of the Kathmandu Valley. A guided sightseeing tour covers UNESCO World Heritage Sites including Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple), Boudhanath Stupa, Patan Durbar Square, and Pashupatinath Temple. These sites provide deep insight into Nepal’s Hindu and Buddhist traditions. In the evening, there is a detailed trek briefing and final equipment check.

Leaving Kathmandu early, you begin a long but scenic drive following rivers, terraced hills, and rural settlements toward Dharapani, the gateway to the Annapurna Circuit. The journey offers changing landscapes as you move from low hills into alpine terrain.

Today’s drive continues through narrow valleys, pine forests, waterfalls, and dramatic cliffs. As you approach Chame, the district headquarters of Manang, you’ll enjoy your first close views of Annapurna II and Lamjung Himal.

Your trekking journey begins as you follow forested trails along the Marsyangdi River. The path gradually ascends through pine forests and narrow valleys before reaching Upper Pisang, where impressive views of Pisang Peak and Annapurna II dominate the skyline.

Today you take the upper trail via Ghyaru and Ngawal, considered one of the most scenic sections of the Annapurna Circuit. The trail offers breathtaking panoramic views of Annapurna II, III, IV, Gangapurna, and Tilicho Peak before descending gradually to Manang village.

A vital rest and acclimatization day to help your body adapt to the altitude. Optional hikes to Gangapurna Lake, Ice Lake viewpoints, or nearby monasteries are recommended to promote proper acclimatization while enjoying stunning mountain scenery.

Leaving the main Annapurna Circuit, the trail heads toward the remote Tilicho region. The route crosses rugged terrain and landslide-prone sections, making the walk adventurous and rewarding with dramatic mountain and glacier views.

An early start takes you to Tilicho Lake, one of the highest alpine lakes in the world. Surrounded by glaciers and snow-capped peaks, the turquoise lake offers unforgettable scenery. After spending time at the lake, you return to Tilicho Base Camp.

Descending carefully, the trail reconnects with the main Annapurna Circuit. The walk is relatively easier, offering wide mountain views and a chance to relax before the upcoming high-pass crossing.

A gradual ascent brings you to Thorong Phedi, the base camp for crossing Thorong La Pass. The rest of the day is spent resting, hydrating, and preparing for the challenging pass crossing the next morning.

Starting early, you climb steadily to the top of Thorong La Pass (5,416 m), the highest point of the trek. After celebrating at the summit with panoramic Himalayan views, you descend carefully to Muktinath, a sacred pilgrimage site for Hindus and Buddhists.

Descending into the Kali Gandaki Valley, the landscape changes dramatically into the dry, wind-swept Mustang region. You pass traditional villages, monasteries, and apple orchards before reaching Jomsom.

After breakfast, enjoy a scenic drive through the Kali Gandaki Valley to Pokhara. Upon arrival, you can relax by Phewa Lake or explore the lively Lakeside area.

Today you travel back to Kathmandu by VIP Sofa Seater Luxury Tourist Bus, enjoying scenic views of rivers, hills, and rural landscapes along the way. Evening is free for shopping or relaxation.

Transfer to Tribhuvan International Airport for your onward journey. Optional trip extensions such as Chitwan jungle safari, Pokhara sightseeing, paragliding, rafting, or cultural tours can be arranged on request.
