Itinerary
Around Annapurna trek itinerary details
The 10 days Annapurna round trek itinerary is a classical hike compared to most walks in this region. This particular hiking path is designed for globetrotters who wish to Thorong la pass hiking with an easy travel plan, take a look at this special itinerary on Annapurna Circuit Trek. However, if you travel for a limited time? follow the given travel plan.
01 Day Kathmandu to Dharapani drive (1,810m/5,937 feet), 9 hours.Early in the morning at 7:00 am, a guide will pick you up for a 7-hour drive to Besisahar, located 185 kilometers from Kathmandu Valley. Upon arrival in Besisahar, you will be greeted by stunning snow-capped mountain scenery. Besisahar serves as the gateway to the Annapurna region, where the lodge-based Annapurna Circle Trek begins.
From Besisahar, you will take a shared local jeep to Dharapani. If you prefer a private jeep, it can be arranged for approximately USD 130 extra, depending on the season, accommodating up to 6-7 people. From Besisahar to Dharapani drive covers 34.8 kilometers and takes about 5 hours, depending on road conditions and traffic.
The journey begins with an off-road drive along the Marsyangdi River, with a series of ascents and descents, reaching Dharapani at an altitude of 1,890 meters.
Stone entrance Chorten typical of the Tibetan influenced villages. Bagarchhap is the typical flat-roofed stone house of local Tibetans design along with the village is surrounded by apple Orchards and maize fields.
Continue hiking further through the forest, we reach Kopar at 8,495 feet and Chame. The Chame is the headquarters of the entire Manang district, where the tripper can receive a fine view of Annapurna II. There are also two small hot springs across the river where tourists can enjoy a hot bath. Moreover, vacationers can introduce themselves to a local community who migrated from Tibet a long time past.
The day starts through a deep forest in a steep and narrow valley and crosses a river on a long bridge. Continuously cross another bridge at 9,971 feet, from where the view of the soaring Paungda Danda rock face really begins to appear.
From there the trail joins to climb to Pisang, which sprawls between 3,200 to 3,300 meters. Cross the Marshyangdi River and stay overnight in the upper Pisang to get a better view of the entire valley.
Today, trail leads you through the drier upper part of the Manang district, cut off from the full effect of the monsoon by the Annapurna Range. People of the Manang territory herd the yaks and raise crops for part of the year. They also continue to enjoy special trading rights gained way back in 1784.
Braga village of Manang is a popular resting point for climbers acclimatizing before attempting the Thorong La Pass (5415 meters). One night in Braga/Manang may turn into two or three. The village entices visitors with sights to see and places to explore.
Braga is a small Himalayan village where you can make out its characteristic monastery, which is one of the oldest in the territory. Inside are hundreds of Buddha statues, and the view from the roof is a highlight of the entire area.
The monks attempt to Kathmandu in October for teaching, and local villagers look after the monastery. If you come at this time, you’ll need to locate the key – which can take up to an hour and involves a lot of disturbance while the key-holder is found.
We have alternate pathways north and south of the Marsyandi River. The southern route goes to Humde airport at 3,325 meters which involves less climbing than the northern route via Ghyaru, though there are better views on the trace that follows the northern bank of the river.
Hikes through the past the picturesque but partially hidden village of Braga at 3,475 meters near the center point of Manang.
Hike about 1 hour to reach the main downtown of Manang village. As today, is an acclimatized day, you can rest to save energy but we recommend you spend some fine walks to the Gangapurna viewpoint and Gangapurna glacier and return.
It helps your body to acclimatize properly. There are many things to do in Manang trekking, you can also visit the ice lake, Gangapurna Glacier Lake, view point…etc.
Trek leads through cultivated potatoes land with majestic landscapes around Tanki Manang. Reaching Gunsang lodges, the trail makes an ascent of nearly 500 meters to the Yak Kharka. Yak Kharka Lodge is located at an altitude of 4,050 meters where the many yaks and vegetation are steadily more sparse.
After ascending for two hours the trail descends to cross the river at 4,310 meters. Climb up to Thorong Phedi at 4,450 meters passing one of the most dangerous stone slide areas. There are good guest houses and offer very good food, Bakery, as well as Internet and telephone facilities.
We advise you to stay at Thorong la high camp guest house as its surroundings offer remarkable mountain scenery. Staying at a high camp saves you energy to touch Thorong la pass almost one hour earlier on the next day.
Today is challenge day rather than others. We begin our trip very early in the morning. At sunrise, we need to set out early to complete the crossing of the Thorong la at 5,416 meters.
The trail is steep right from the start, but with a slow and steady pace, we should reach the Thorong la summit in 4 hours of hiking. Prayer flags and hot tea await you as we reach the highest point of our trek route.
From Thorong la to Muktinath trek takes another 4 hours downhill to walk over the sands and stone payables. Be careful, especially while walking over steep downhill as the stone payables on Thorong la Annapurna mountain are very tiny and slippery.
Our descent to Muktinath is long, and also stressful because of walking over the snowy slopes. But the border Himalayas and the Dhaulagiri family are simply amazing. Muktinath Temple has a large settlement with several lodges installed in modern facilities.
Majestic view with the mustang landscapes makes your journey just amazing. Descending from Muktinath to Jomsom is much easier to ascend. First, we climb to the Lubra Danda and walk down to the Lubra village, one of the picturesque Thakali villages.
In addition, The journey offers a superb view of Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, Tukuche, and other surrounding snow-capped peaks just next to you. The wide and flat sandy trail goes along the Kali Gandaki riverbanks and leads to the district headquarters of Mustang. Jomsom Bazaar stays at a lodge/hotel within 24 hours of hot showers and a good meal will allow for a quick recovery after today’s long and difficult excursion.
The distance between Jomsom and Pokhara is approximately 146.1 kilometers (90.78 miles) by road and takes about 7 hours drive. Jomsom to Pokhara drive passes through several small towns and villages such as Marpha, Tukuche, and Ghasa, Tatopani, or at Beni where you can take a break, enjoy local food, and soak in the scenic beauty of the region.
Optional flight from Jomsom to Pokhara town [25 minutes].
All the Jomsom flights are available during the morning time as after 9 AM windstorm starts. A strong breeze blows during and after and frequent changes in the weather prevent flights from landing and taking off in the afternoon.

Best time to visit around the Annapurna trip
The best time to visit the Annapurna trekking region in Nepal is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. In spring, the weather is mild, with blooming rhododendrons and lush vegetation enhancing the scenic beauty.

Likewise, a visit to Annapurna region in the summer (June to August) and winter (December to February) seasons presents unique challenges.
In summer, the monsoon rains make the trails muddy and slippery, with a higher risk of landslides and leeches, and the views are often obscured by clouds. And in winter, the region experiences very cold temperatures and heavy snowfall, which can block high passes like Thorong La, making trekking routes impassable and more hazardous.
On days with favorable weather, you can witness multiple towering peaks, including Mount Manaslu (8,163 m), Annapurna II (7,937 m), Annapurna III (7,555 m), Annapurna IV (7,525 m), and Tilicho Peak (7,134 m), which are simply impressive. Additionally, tourists can see Mount Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Tukuche Peak (6,920 m), Annapurna South (7,219 m), and Nilgiri (7,041 m) along the journey.

Around Annapurna Trek Review
Around Annapurna Circuit 16 days
We pre-booked a guide with Gokyo less than a week before the start date and chatted with Ammar to arrange the details.
He asked us to send a deposit of 100usd which seemed fair and although it felt a little unsecure to make a money transfer before meeting the guy, we understood his reason.
Upon arrival in Katmandou, Ammar and Kamal whom would be our guide for the next 16 days came to meet us at our hotel and finalized the details.
The next morning, Kamal came to pick us up at our hotel and we left for the bus to Beshisahar, where we started the trek.
Kamal Bahadur Khatri, speak a good English, and is probably the best guide we could have hired. He was very friendly and became a good friend during our time together. He went beyond our expectations and always make sure we’d stop in the best tea house and often deal with our room rates.
My wife got terrible blisters and was forced to continue with sandals for some time. Kamal kindly proposed to carry her bag when badly needed.
When we arrived at Manang, the weather forecast was not good and Kamal made the call to push a little and go through Thorang La Pass before the snowstorm (which blocked the way and kept many trekkers for almost a week).
We were debating either hire a guide or go by ourselves, but im pretty sure that giving the time of the year, the weather and our trekking experience, we would not have made it through without Kamal.
Overall, our experience with Gokyo was great, but mainly because our trek with Kamal was absolutely amazing.

My Big plan was trekking Annapurna Circuit, but almost halfway to Thorong La the weather became worse. And my guide Bharat Dhakal advised me not to continue because it’s too dangerous. Very Sad at that time with the weather. But after reading the news that some people missing because of the landslide, I really thank Bharat. He saved my life.
For Gokyo and Ammar, they gave me a really good price.
Thank you so much, guys. Will be back next year.

Annapurna circuit trek in October
Gokyo Treks was really affordable and easy to liaise with. We texted Ammar on a regular basis prior to the trip to clarify details, and he was always very responsive. The guides and porters catered to our needs and the side treks that we wanted to go for, but they were also wary about our safety and were honest with the risks involved.
The guides took good care of our meals and made sure we were well enough when we fell ill from the cold and AMS. They were really awesome! Thank you Bishnu, Sabin, and Bir. Highly recommend it!,
