Groups stay between 1 and 5 people from age 16. A local bus takes you to Nadi, the Jomsom to Pokhara flight is included after the pass, and a tourist bus brings you home. 📋 Key Details Days: 16 days from Kathmandu Ages: 16 and up Pass: Thorong La at 5416 m Group: 1 to 5 Return: Jomsom to Pokhara flight included 🥾 What to Expect Your guide meets you at Tribhuvan International Airport and takes you to a Kathmandu hotel. The next day is for permits and preparation. Then you'll take a local bus seven to eight hours to Nadi and start walking the Marshyangdi through Gurung fields to Jagat, past waterfalls to Dharapani, through pine and oak to Chame, and on through fir forest to Pisang. You'll climb a ridge into Manang at 3,351 metres and spend a rest day walking to chortens and monasteries so your body can settle. From there you climb through yak pasture to Yak Kharka and Thorong Phedi. An early start crosses Thorong La at 5,416 metres. From the pass you look at snow peaks above and the Kali Gandaki and Mustang hills below, then descend to Muktinath. A two-hour jeep takes you to Jomsom. You'll fly to Pokhara, have a day by the lake, and take the tourist bus home to Kathmandu. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included from the Nadi bus day through Jomsom. Groups stay at five or fewer. Sleeping bags and down jackets can be issued in Kathmandu if you ask. The pass morning starts early, and the guide will wait if wind or snow closes Thorong La. 📍 Location Marshyangdi villages give the first week its character: Hindu and Gurung fields at Nadi and Jagat, waterfalls toward Dharapani, pine and oak into Chame, then fir forest to Pisang. The valley dries as you climb into Manang, a Tibetan-influenced village of chortens and monasteries at 3,351 metres. Thorong La is the 5,416-metre saddle onto the Kali Gandaki side, with Muktinath the temple village on the descent and Jomsom the airfield for the Pokhara flight. Kathmandu is the hotel city at each end. You start and finish at Tribhuvan International Airport unless you are already in a city hotel. ✅ Prerequisites Full walking days should already feel normal, and you should be happy sleeping above 3,000 metres. Thorong La is 5,416 metres. The Manang rest day is part of the plan, not an optional extra. The minimum age is 16. Groups stay at 5 or fewer.

Sixteen days from airport pickup to the departure transfer. Two nights are in a Kathmandu hotel for arrival and permits, then a local bus to Nadi and lodge days up the Marshyangdi to Jagat, Dharapani, Chame, Pisang, and Manang. After an acclimatisation day you climb to Yak Kharka and Thorong Phedi, cross Thorong La at 5,416 metres to Muktinath, jeep to Jomsom, fly to Pokhara, and take the tourist bus home. The high day starts early from Thorong Phedi. Groups are 1 to 5 people. The minimum age is 16. ### Where do we sleep? Hotel nights are three-star rooms in Kathmandu at the start and end, in Jomsom after the pass, and in Pokhara after the flight. On the trail you sleep in lodges along the Marshyangdi and at Muktinath. Lodge rooms are simple: a bed, blankets, and a dining room. Thorong Phedi and Yak Kharka are cold. We can issue a sleeping bag and down jacket in Kathmandu if you do not have your own. ### How fit do I need to be? You should be used to full walking days and happy sleeping above 3,000 metres. Thorong La is 5,416 metres. The acclimatisation day in Manang is there so your body can settle before the pass. The minimum age is 16. Groups stay at 5 or fewer. Tell us about any heart or lung condition when you book. A passport is required. ### What will we see on the circuit? The path runs anticlockwise from Hindu villages on the Marshyangdi through Gurung country into the Tibetan-influenced Manang valley, then over Thorong La onto the dry side toward Mustang and Muktinath. From the pass you look at snow peaks above and the Kali Gandaki and brown hills of Mustang below. Muktinath is the temple village on the descent. Jomsom is the airfield for the flight to Pokhara. ### Which meals are included? Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included from the Nadi bus day through Jomsom. Kathmandu hotel days include breakfast. Day one meals are not included. The Pokhara and final Kathmandu hotel days include breakfast. Trail snacks, extra drinks, and tips are your own. Tell us about dietary needs when you book so the lodges can plan. ### What should I pack? Bring lightweight walking boots, spare laces, a warm jacket, rain layer, thermal layers, gloves, a wool hat, sun hat, snow glasses, two pairs of thick socks, a daypack, a rucksack, a water bottle, and a torch. We can provide a sleeping bag and down jacket from Kathmandu. Windproof trousers help above 3,000 metres. Keep a small medical kit in the daypack. Your passport is required for permits and the Jomsom flight. ### Can I cancel? You can cancel up to 24 hours before the trip for a full refund, in line with the Flexible policy. If snow or wind closes Thorong La, your guide will hold the group at Thorong Phedi or Yak Kharka and move the pass day when it is safe. The Jomsom to Pokhara flight also depends on valley wind. ### Where do we meet? Your guide meets you at Tribhuvan International Airport on day one and takes you to a three-star hotel. The last morning is a transfer back to the same airport. Have your flight details ready when you book. If you are already in a Kathmandu hotel, tell us so we can collect you there. ### What is included? The booking includes the English-speaking guide, three-star hotel nights as listed, lodge nights on the trail, meals as listed, the local bus to Nadi, the jeep to Jomsom, the Jomsom to Pokhara flight, the tourist bus to Kathmandu, and airport transfers. International flights, Nepal visa, tips, trail snacks, and travel insurance are not included. Permits are arranged on the preparation day in Kathmandu. ### Is a certificate included? This is a guided lodge trek, not a qualification course. You will not receive a trekking award. Your guide stays with you from the airport through Thorong La, Muktinath, and the return to Kathmandu. Follow their pace on the pass morning. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/11fb405f-7df8-42dc-b060-473c1c86bc3b-1.jpeg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
