You will gain unique insights into Buddhism, Hinduism, ancient art, historical architecture, and the local way of life and culture. After the tour, you will return to the office to confirm your hiking and climbing attire and equipment.
You’ll need to leave early in the morning after breakfast. The guide will come to take you to the bus station, where you’ll catch a vehicle to Besisahar via the Prithivi Highway. The journey takes you along river valleys, through a few towns, terraced fields, and green hilly scenery until you reach Dumre, where the road turns right toward Besisahar, following the Marsyangdi River through beautiful terraced rice fields. From Besisahar, we will switch to a jeep for the drive to Dharapani. Although the road is narrow and bumpy, the views of hills, rice fields, villages, forests, and mountains are dramatic and rewarding.
From Dharapani, the trek to Thorong Peak Climbing begins, with the first stop at Chame. The trekking route is gently uphill to Danaque, and then ascends through pine and rhododendron forests toward Timang, which offers one of the best viewpoints of Mt. Manaslu. After crossing Timang, you’ll pass through Thanchok and Koto before reaching Chame. Chame is the headquarters of the Manang District, featuring many shopping centers, banks, and a road connection from Besisahar. Along the way, you’ll enjoy beautiful views of mountains, forests, rocky landscapes, and villages.

Upon reaching Upper Pisang, you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and the high-elevation landscape.
Upper Pisang Village is the last settlement for Pisang Peak Climbing, situated at 3,300 meters above sea level. For those planning to climb Pisang Peak, most trekkers and climbers need to stay here for two nights to acclimatize before ascending further to Pisang Peak Base Camp. During this time, trekkers and climbers can explore Pisang Village and its monastery, as well as take a short hike of about 2 hours above the village to gain additional altitude. This helps reduce the risk of altitude sickness and enhances your Pisang Peak climbing experience. Upon arrival in the late afternoon, your climbing guide will check your equipment and provide basic training on how to use it, along with essential climbing techniques for the Pisang Peak climb.
The trek starts from Upper Pisang Village after spending two days acclimatizing. The route begins in an alpine forest, where it can be difficult for beginners to find the correct path due to the many trails created by yaks. The trail then leads towards Pisang Peak Base Camp, passing through forested areas, grassy highlands, and rocky paths. Upon reaching the base camp, Support team will set up camp and stay there overnight in tents. Pisang Peak Base Camp offers awe-inspiring views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks.
The trail from base camp is not very clear due to being less traveled. However, your climbing guide will lead you safe way through narrow, rocky, and potentially snowy paths with some steep sections. The route continues ascending through barren landscapes, gaining a significant elevation as you reach Pisang Peak High Camp, approximately 1,000 meters above the base camp. Upon arrival at High Camp, it's crucial to find a safe, risk-free spot to set up your tent. Throughout the trek, the incredible views of the Manaslu and Annapurna mountain ranges dominate the journey. Since you'll be spending one night at Pisang Peak High Camp, take this opportunity to rest and acclimatize, allowing your body to adjust to the higher elevation.
This day will be exciting and rewarding as you attempt to reach the summit of Pisang Peak. The climb to the summit involves steep, technical sections on gravel, rock, and ice, requiring a cautious ascent.

Some climbers may choose to retrace their steps back to Dharapani, while others can continue their journey to Manang Village, connecting with the Annapurna Circuit Trek. From the Pisang Peak Base Camp, the trail descends to Pisang, where it follows the Annapurna Circuit trail toward Manang Village. Much of the trek takes you alongside riverbeds, surrounded by beautiful scenery.
After approximately 6-8 hours of this exciting trek, you will approach Manang Village. Manang offers serene Himalayan landscapes, along with a unique culture, tradition, and history of the region
The trek from Manang to Yak Kharka is relatively short in duration, but trekkers may find it long and challenging due to the high-altitude terrain and reduced oxygen levels. The route leaves the Marsyangdi Valley, turning right into the Jharsang Khola Valley, and ascends to Ghunsang through Tengi Village. From there, the trail follows a gentle, flat path through alpine juniper trees and yak pastures until reaching Yak Kharka for an overnight stay. Along the way, you’ll be treated to amazing mountain views and may even spot wildlife such as blue sheep and marmots.
From Yak Kharka, the trekking trail leads to Thorong Phedi, the base of the Thorong La Pass (5,416 meters), where it is necessary to spend the night before crossing the pass. The trail is gradual and descends slightly, making for an easy and slow walk with rest stops along the way, taking around 4-5 hours. Along the route, you will cross suspension bridges over the Thorong Khola and enjoy great mountain views before reaching Thorong Phedi. After arriving, you can explore the area after lunch if you wish.
Today will be a long, tough, but exciting day as you cross the Thorong La Pass (5,416 m), the highest point of the Annapurna Circuit Trek. The trekking trail ascends continuously until you reach the top of Thorong La, passing through rocky, gravelly, and occasionally icy terrain. The ascent takes about 3 to 5 hours, depending on the trekkers' pace. At the top, you'll be rewarded with panoramic mountain views, perfect for capturing the moment with your camera and exploring the area. The trail then descends on the other side, leading into the Mustang district. After a long descent on rocky and gravelly terrain, you'll reach the first teahouse at Chabarbu, where trekkers will have lunch. After lunch, the trail continues to descend to Muktinath, a famous pilgrimage site for Hindu and Buddhist devotees.
From Muktinath, there is a continuous road connecting to Tatopani, with plenty of buses and jeeps available. After breakfast in Muktinath, Trekkers and climbers will take a bus or private jeep to Tatopani, passing through Jomsom, Marpha, Tukuche, Kobang, Kalopani, Ruptse Chahara, and Dana. The road is a bit scary, dusty, and bumpy. Upon arriving in Tatopani, you can enjoy a hot bath in a natural hot spring, which will help you relax after the long trek to Thorong Peak and the drive from Muktinath. The journey offers wonderful views of the Himalayan scenery, including the massif Annapurna I (8,091 meters), terraced rice fields, and traditional Nepalese villages.
After enjoying the hot spring in Tatopani, you will have a great sleep. The next morning, trekkers will catch a vehicle to reach Pokhara. It takes a 4-5 hour scenic drive, offering spectacular views of green forests, rice fields, farmland, and villages along the Beni-Baglung Highway. After arriving in Pokhara, trekkers can look forward to a wonderful evening, as there are many restaurants with live music. Pokhara is also an excellent place to spend leisure time after an adventurous trek.
From Pokhara, the tourist bus leaves at 7:30 AM, so we will have an early breakfast at the hotel to catch the bus to Kathmandu. The journey from Pokhara to Kathmandu follows a scenic highway along river valleys, passing through a few towns, terraced fields, and green hills.

Between China's Tibet Autonomous Region and India, Nepal is a landlocked Himalayan nation. It has eight of the top ten mountains in the world, including Mount Everest. There are numerous points from China and India where one can enter Nepal by land. Tourist visas for Nepal are available on arrival at all Indian and Chinese borders if you are traveling there by land. There are numerous foreign airlines providing nonstop connecting flights to Nepal if you're arriving by air. Nepal Airlines, Turkish Air, Thai Airways, Gulf Air, Qatar Air, Jet Airways, Air India, Biman Bangladesh, Lufthansa, Oman Air, Travel Dubai, Air Arabia, and Air China are a few of the well-known airlines that fly to Nepal. From China or India, one can also go overland. Please check your flight and get in touch with us before arriving in Nepal. At the airport in Nepal, you can easily obtain a on arrival visa.
Except for Indian passport holders, all foreign visitors to Nepal need a visa; however, you must have a passport with a six-month validity date in order to apply for a tourist visa. At the Tribhuvan International Airport and the Chinese-Indian border in Tibet, visas are available on arrival. To apply for a visa to enter Nepal, you must have a color photograph in PP size. Please click this link for more details about Visa Information.
If you're seeking for the best foreign exchange rates and locations in Nepal, you may easily exchange the majority of your foreign currency at a local bank or authorized money exchange facility in a well-known tourist destination. The Nepal Rastra Bank controls all exchange rates (Center Bank of Nepal). You can exchange small amounts of money at the hotel if you want to. Because our banks will not take dirty or old notes, kindly bring clean and fresh notes.
In order to avoid the time-consuming processes associated with cards and traveler's checks, Nepalese people typically prefer cash in hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, and other locations. You can use an ATM to get cash (in Nepali Rupees) if you have a credit or debit card. In the main tourist city, there are a number of ATM counters with 24-hour service. If you use a card, the maximum withdrawal amount is between 30,000 and 35,000 rupees at once, plus a processing fee of 500 rupees.
You must convert your money in Kathmandu or Pokhara before the hike because the majority of trekking routes do not offer a facility for international currency exchange. Additionally, inquire about the amount of money required for a Himalayan trek from your trekking operator or guide.
When traveling in Nepal, safety and security are crucial issues to consider both on the way to in and out. We are here for you at all times, and we promise to provide the greatest service to all of our cherished clients. Our guides have extensive training in the field of trekking and broad understanding of first aid items. Because it rises more than 4000 m above sea level, it is essential for hiking in Nepal. Because health is crucial, if a trekker becomes ill from the high altitude, our knowledgeable guide discusses the necessary medications and decides to continue the trek while organizing the emergency rescue.
You must be cautious when hiking trails pass one other because they are not wide enough to do so. During the busiest trekking season, there are lots of porters, yaks, mules, and Jokpe along the trail. You must stay on the safe side if you encounter them on a bridge or in a confined space because otherwise they may force you over the edge.
For a healthy body while traveling and staying hydrated, clean water is essential. It will be the most effective method of completing the Himalayan journey. If not, getting sick and having diarrhea is simple. Almost everywhere during the Nepalese tea house trip, but not during the camping trek, sells bottled water. Unfortunately, bottled water is very pricey.
Please bring good water bottles (for boiling water) and water purification tablets or water filter bottles since plastic bottles are detrimental for the environment. Reusable water bottles are a good idea because they help keep the mountain clean. If you are concerned about finding a typical water tap to fill up your bottles in the trekking region of Nepal, they are very simple to locate. It can be found in rivers, streams, and lodges.
Nepal hiking tours: The difficulty levels of the Himalayas range from easy to tough. As a result of the Himalayan climate changing, there is a risk of high altitude and potential mishap.
Trekking in the Nepalese Himalayas demands practical trekking abilities at high altitudes (above 4,000 meters), so travel insurance is essential. If an accident occurs during a trip and requires medical attention or evacuation, the cost of returning to a city and receiving treatment may be significant. Therefore, you must ensure that your insurance covers the price of an air ambulance, medical care, and any risks associated with travel, such as delayed flights and lost, stolen, damaged, or missing baggage. Your complete itinerary while visiting Nepal should be covered by your insurance policy. Make sure your insurance policy covers hikes higher than 5,500 meters. If not, you will be responsible for all unforeseen costs associated with your trek through Nepal.
All trekkers must send a copy of their certificate from their comprehensive travel insurance policy to High Pass Adventure as part of the booking process for trekking and climbing in Nepal.
Mountain sickness is another name for high altitude sickness. You must be aware of high altitude sickness symptoms since they arise rapidly if you hike or ascend to a higher elevation. Here are some details if you're curious as to why it occurs. The air pressure is the main cause of altitude sickness. Your body needs time to adapt to the shift in air pressure when you travel to higher elevations since the air pressure decreases and there is less oxygen present. According to doctors, If you are at sea level, it begins at 8,000 feet (2400 meters).
1) Types
There are three types of altitude sickness:
Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS): it is very common and symptoms feel like a tiredness, dizzy, headache, thirsty, muscle aches, nausea
High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE): it is effect in the lungs, which can be very dangerous and hard to do life threatening
High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE): it is effective in the brain and most difficult to treat and you need to go to hospital attention the right way.
2) Cause
Following are the causes of high altitude sickness:
Generally living near sea level and travel to a high elevation
Had the sickness before
Climbing quickly
Not being acclimatized to the altitude
Drinking alcohol when you ascend
Medical problems of heart, nervous or lungs
3) Symptoms
These symptoms will appear depending on your speed to climb and how hard you push. Symptoms range from normal to serious. They can affect the nervous system, lungs, muscles, and heart.
Here are symptoms of High Altitude Sickness:

Nausea or vomiting
Rapid Pulse (Heart Rate)
Short breath with action

4) Prevention
Important keys to preventing of High Altitude Sickness are:

Stop every 2,000 feet (600 meters) of climb above 8,000 feet (2,400 meters) and one or two nights sleep there.
Sleep at a lower altitude when possible.
Make sure that you have the ability to quickly descend if needed.
Learn how to recognize early symptoms of mountain sickness.
If you plan on climbing quickly, or climbing to a high altitude, ask your provider about medicines that may help.
If you are at risk for a low red blood cell count (anemia), ask your provider if your planned trip is safe. Also ask if an iron supplement is right for you. Anemia lowers the amount of oxygen in your blood. This makes you more likely to have mountain sickness.
