It is a long way through Nepal on roads both tarred and earth-surfaced, but you won’t be disappointed. You will discover the beautiful countryside of Nepal. Lush greeneries, villages, farms, rivers, lifestyle of local people in the streets and the panoramic view on the Himalaya range.

We will reach Jagat with a local jeep through river, greeneries, local villages and beautiful mountain scenery. A steep and slippery trail runs up and down through paddy fields, passing through tiny Tibetan villages, the trail ascends through the rhododendron forest to Jagat (1330 m). From here, we will start our trek in the beautiful Annapurna range and be immerge by the Himalayan culture.

Our day begins with the rocky trail following the Marsyandi Rivers steadily uphill to Tal (the first village in the Manang district). The journey continues up and down through other village before to reach our first overnight stop. Bagarchhap is a typical Tibetan village with a chorten at the entrance and surrounded by apple Orchards and maize fields.

Along the way, we will see waterfalls of melted snow, cross icy rivers, and broad plains. Once upon arrival you will be reward by the beautiful view on the Annapurna and you could enjoy a relaxing bath in natural hot springs.

There’s a long, peasant and mostly level walk in forests. The pine-scented trail rounds a bend to reveal the first views of dramatic PaungdaDanda rock face, a tremendous curve slab of rock. The trail follows through the river valley with good views along the way of Pisang peak and Annapurna II at Pisang.Pisang marks the beginning of the region upper portion of the Manang district.

From upper Pisang the high trail enters pine grooves to reveal views of the small turquoise lake. The trail does a dogleg through the charming village, passing with views of painted Mandalas and dragon mouth spouts. Hike through the fields of grazing yak and wide variety of crops. This large Tibetan settlement provides good views of Annapurna II/III/IV, Gangapurna and Tarkekang.

This day you spend a second night in the Manang region to acclimatize to the higher elevations you will encounter towards the Thoroung La. Take advice from Himalayan Rescue Association and observe the spectacular views of the Himalaya nearby. There are fine views of the milky blue glacier lake at the foot of spectacular Gangapurna icefall and traditional stone buildings.

From Manang village, the trail crosses a stream, climbs to a village of Tenkiand continues to climb out of the Marshyangdi Valley turning northwest up the valley of JarsangKhola. On the way we will pass few pastures, a scrub of juniper trees and through villages and meadows where horses and yaks graze. After crossing a small river on a wooden bridge, we will see an ancient old Mani wall before to reach Yak Kharka.

The trail climbs along the east bank of the JarsangKhola, then descends and crosses the stream on a wooden bridge at 4310m. Blue sheep, and even snow capped leopards, sometimes magically appears. The crow like bird choughs, large lamer geiers and Himalayan griffons circles you overhead.

The trail becomes steep immediately after leaving ThorungPhedi, switch backing up moraines and following rocky ridges as it ascends to the Thorung La pass (5416m). You can see the long Great Barrier ridge, Tibet like region of Manang, as well as the Annapurnas, Gangapurna and the heavily glaciated peak of Khatung Kang (6484m).
