This trek is quite similar to the Annapurna Circuit trek for those with less time at their disposal. Though shorter than the Annapurna Circuit trek, this roundabout neither misses out on the mountain scenery nor the absorbing face of rural Nepal. The trek also traverses through the two river valleys of the Marshyangdi and the Kali Gandaki. We will be passing through Chame, the administrative headquarters of Manang district; Pisang, which marks the beginning of the upper portion of Manang district; and the plateau of Manang village. The village has a dramatic setting against the backdrop of the of Annapurna and Gangapurna summits. It’s necessary that we spend an extra day at Manang in order to acclimatize to the higher altitudes that we will be encountering as we approach Thorung La. The mountain views from the pass are simply exceptional. We will also get to visit the famous pagoda-style Muktinath temple and other holy shrines in the area, a popular pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists, before heading on to Jomsom to catch the flight to Pokhara.
