DAY 04: DHARAPANI TO CHAME.

Overnight in Chame.
-
DAY 05: TREK FROM CHAME TO PISANG.
On the 5th morning, A sloped and slender path through a very crowded forest will bring us to the dramatic curved rock face, rising 1500m from the river. The forests and heavy vegetation would now be gone. We cross and re-cross the river again and again on suspension bridges. As the trail opens up we get surrounded by impressive Himalayan Peaks. We find ourselves in the U-shaped valley of Manang hanging between two giant snow peaks and after walking through these glorious sites, we reach Pisang.
-
DAY 06: TREK FROM PISANG TO MANANG.
On the morning of the 6th day, There are two routes that we can follow today. If you take the upper route (we recommend), i.e., the route through Upper Pisang via Geru, the scenery is outstanding. It feels like we are horizontally in front of the majestic peaks. The panoramic views of the mountain peaks, such as Annapurna, Pisang peak, and several others will definitely allure us. We notice the contrast in the landscape and vegetation from today. The cold, dry climate creates a much harsher environment. A visit to Barge monastery, the largest in the entire district of Manang will be memorable.
-
DAY 07: ACCLIMATIZATION DAY AT MANANG.
In the trek of the 7th day morning, Today is the scheduled acclimatization day. It is not recommended to stay idle but a short walk to higher altitude is suggested to get acclimatized with the altitude. Manang is a good place to do that as the next two days will be a very challenging and tiring trek for us with rapid gain in altitude. We should never be over-confident with the altitude and always be cautious. Bhojo Gompa or Gangapurna Lake is worth visiting on the day of acclimatization. An easy excursion to a little distance away village called Vraga, a small old village with a monastery is also possible. Also worth visiting is the Himalayan Rescue Association where we can get some ideas about Mountain Sickness.
-
DAY 08: TREK FROM MANANG TO YAK KHARKA.
On the 8th of the morning, Leaving Manang, we headed towards the base of the Thorung La. Climbing out of the Marsyangdi Valley, following instead, the Jarsang Khola. Here we are far above the pine and fir forests and are truly immersed in the beauty of the high Himalaya. Today is a shorter day, taking it slowly as we reach Yak Kharka (Yak Huts) – where yak herders bring their animals to graze.
-
DAY 09: TREK FROM YAK KHARKA TO PHEDI.
On the 9th of the morning, We make our way to the foot of the pass, Thorong Phedi today. Thorong Phedi is a small busy convention feeding to the needs of tired trekkers and climbers. People use this point as a base camp. Some people also attempt a hike to the High Camp today so that the next day can be easier for them but we do not favor attempting High Camp and staying overnight there because sleeping in higher altitude is not desirable. Although we will have a tough day tomorrow, we will stop at Thorong Phedi so that we can sleep soundly rather than a risky sleep in higher altitude at High Camp.
-
DAY 10: TREK FROM PHEDI TO MUKTINATH.
In the trek of the 10th day morning, The journey starts from Phedi "foot of the slope" or at the foot to the 5416m Thorong La pass, starts the day. We at that point make the climb suddenly that is frequently utilized and simple to take after. Notwithstanding, the issue may arise because of the altitude and snow. It regularly makes horrendous issues cross the pass on the off chance that it is secured by snow. Around four hours move up to the pass set apart by the Chortens and solicitation banners. As you achieve the best, you are remunerated by the glorious view from the best. overnight at Muktinath.

Annapurna Circuit trek is a trek within the mountain ranges of central Nepal. The total length of the trail varies between 160 km to 230 km (100-145 mi), depending on where motor transportation is used and where the trek ends. Annapurna Round Trek crosses two different river valleys and embraces the Annapurna Massif. The route reaches its highest point at Thorong La pass (5416m/17769ft), arriving at the edge of the Tibetan plateau. Most of the trekkers hike the route anticlockwise,so that this way the daily altitude gain is slower and crossing the high Thorong La pass is safer and easier.
