Comprehensive Overview Annapurna Circuit Trek Fly out from Jomsom
The Annapurna Circuit Trek is a breathtaking journey through Nepal’s diverse landscapes, culminating in the thrilling ascent of Thorong La Pass (5,416m)—the trek’s highest point and a major geographical highlight. From lush valleys and alpine forests to high-altitude deserts, this route showcases the full spectrum of Himalayan beauty, making it one of the most rewarding treks in Nepal. The final scenic flight from Jomsom to Pokhara offers an aerial perspective of the rugged terrain, providing a unique conclusion to this remarkable adventure.
The trek begins with a ride from Kathmandu to Bhulbhule, allowing you to immerse yourself in Nepal’s stunning countryside immediately. The journey gradually transitions through Jagat, Dharapani, and Chame, with each section offering distinct scenery, from dense forests to dramatic river valleys. As you move toward Upper Pisang and Manang, the landscape becomes more barren and rugged, introducing the harsh yet striking beauty of the high-altitude desert. A crucial acclimatization day in Manang allows you to explore local monasteries, glacial lakes, and scenic viewpoints, helping you adjust to the altitude.
Beyond Manang, the trek progresses through Ledar and Thorong High Camp, where the terrain becomes steeper, wind-swept, and isolated, leading to the challenging ascent of Thorong La Pass (5,416m). Crossing this high pass is a demanding yet incredibly rewarding feat, with expansive Himalayan views stretching across Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Manaslu. After reaching the pass, the descent leads to Muktinath Temple (3,760m), a revered pilgrimage site known for its sacred Hindu and Buddhist heritage.
The trek concludes with a drive to Jomsom, followed by an unforgettable flight to Pokhara, where you get a final glimpse of the stunning Himalayan expanse from the sky before returning to Kathmandu. With careful acclimatization, diverse landscapes, and a thrilling flight experience, this 12-day Annapurna Circuit Trek offers the perfect balance of adventure, challenge, and breathtaking scenery.

Day to Day Itinerary
Drive from Kathmandu to Bhulbhule (845m / 2,815ft) west of Kathmandu
After breakfast, we will catch a bus at Kathmandu and head west to Bhulbhule. The bus will follow the Prithivi Highway, which runs by the side of the Trishuli river, until Dumre. From Dumre, you will head north past Besishahar and finally, arrive at Bhulbhule, which lies by the banks of the Marsyangdi river.
Throughout your ride, you can enjoy the views of terraced farms, traditional villages, and the Ganesh & Manaslu mountains. It will take almost eight hours to reach the Gurung village Bhulbhule, where you will be spending the night.
Trek from Bhulbhule (845m / 2,815ft) to Jagat (1,300m / 4,265ft)
We leave Bhulbhule early morning and head on the trails to Jagat. You will be trekking on a pleasant path that passes through lush forests, terraced fields, and traditional villages. From Bhulbhule, you will pass Bahundanda and Ghermu before reaching Jagat, a former trading post.
Trek from Jagat (1,300m / 4,265ft) to Dharapani (1,860m / 6,200ft)
From Jagat, we follow the Marsyangdi river, the path then ascends through a tropical forest, ultimately leading to the Gurung village of Chamje. As you trek, you will get views of a scenic waterfall and the Annapurna ranges. After Chamje, you will again follow the Marsyangdi river on a zigzag path that climbs to a hill to the village of Tal. Tal means lake in Nepali.
However, you will continue to trek further, reaching Karte Village, then the path progresses by the cliff side and again descends to Marsyangdi. You will then cross a suspension bridge and head up to reach Dharapani - the destination for the day.
Trek from Dharapani (1,860m / 6,200ft) to Chame (2,610m / 8,890ft)
We leave Dharapani and follow the trails through the forests with pine, fir, oak, and maple trees. This region is comparatively flat, and you will follow the Marsyangdi River to reach the headquarters of Manang - Chame (2,670m). From Chame, you will get remarkable views of Annapurna II, Annapurna IV, and Lamjung Himal. On the way, we will not forget to stop by a small hot spring.
Trek from Chame (2,610m / 8,890ft) to Upper Pisang (3,115m / 10,200ft)
From Chame, we head to Pisang on a trail that mostly progresses through an open area. After walking along the narrow valley, you will reach a massive rock called Paungda Danda Rock, which the locals consider as sacred. The rock itself rises 1,500m from the Marshyandi river and looks stunning. As you continue the trek, you will see Annapurna II in the south and Pisang Peak in the northeast. Just before reaching Pisang, the path descends to the Manang Valley floor.
Trek from Pisang (3,115m / 10,200ft) to Manang (3,540m / 11,300ft)
We start trekking on the upper trails that pass through Upper Pisang and Geru to reach Barge village, famous for the Barge Monastery - the largest in Manang. Throughout the path, you will witness several Buddhist shrines and monasteries before reaching the tourist town of Manang. The trekking trails provide fantastic views of Annapurna II, III, IV, Gangapurna, Pisang Peak, and Tilicho.
Rest and acclimatization day at Manang (3,519m / 11,545ft)
We have set this day for rest and proper acclimatization to avoid altitude sickness. However, we will remain busy, exploring nearby places and enjoying the scenery. Manang is well situated and provides access to interesting places. You can visit Gangapurna and Ice lakes, the traditional Kangsar village, and Milarepa Cave - believed to be the meditation bode of Buddhist Guru Milarepa. We will also take you to the Himalayan Rescue Association in Vraja village, where you will learn more about acute mountain sickness.
Trek from Manang (3,540m / 11,300ft) to Ledar (4,250m/13,943ft)
After resting and acclimatizing for a day, we trek toward Ledar. You will now notice that the tall trees along the path give way to alpine grass and junipers. There is a chance that you might witness a few horses or yaks grazing on the meadows. Moreover, as you continue on the trails, you will come across a small village - Gunsan, known for its flat mud roofs. When you cross a small river on a wooden bridge, you should know that Yak Kharka - a peaceful meadow - is nearby. After arriving at the meadows of Yak Kharka, you will cross a historic Mani wall and reach Ledar hamlet.
Trek from Ledar (4,250m/13,943ft) to Thorong High Camp (4,925m/16,158ft)
It is time to leave the Marsyangdi Valley and head towards Thorong High Camp, following the Jharsang Khola. You will leave pine and fir forests to enter the high Himalayas, which look completely different than the lush lowlands you passed during the initial trekking days. If lucky, you might catch views of blue sheep and snow leopards while trekking. Thorong High Camp is ideally located for travelers to spend the night before attempting to cross the Thorong La High Pass.
Trek from Thorong High Camp (4,925m/16,158 ft) to Muktinath Temple (3,760m / 12,623ft) via Thorong La High Pass (5,416m / 17,756ft). Drive to Jomsom (3,760m / 12,623ft).
Today will be the most challenging trekking day as you ascend the Thorong La High Pass, one of the highest passes in the world, before descending to Muktinath. To avoid the afternoon wind, we will start the trek early morning, battling icy air and high altitude but still enjoying the views. From the top of the pass, you will see fantastic views of the Khatungkang, Gangapurna, and Annapurna ranges. As you descend, you will be greeted with majestic views of Dhaulagiri.
The descent continues until you reach Muktinath, a holy temple for both the Hindus and Buddhists. This temple is known for its 108 water sprouts and an eternal flame burning here for centuries. From Muktinath, we will drive for around two and a half hours to reach Jomsom so that we can catch the next morning flight to Pokhara.
Fly from Jomsom (3,760m / 12,623ft) to Pokhara (820m / 2,690ft)
On this day, early morning, from Jomsom, we will catch an early morning flight to Pokhara. The 35-minute flight lets you enjoy the spectacular views of Nilgiri (23,166 ft), Dhaulagiri (26,795 ft), and Annapurna Himal. You are free to explore the fabulous Pokhara, the tourist capital of Nepal.
Drive from Pokhara (820m / 2,690ft) to Kathmandu (1,350m / 4,450ft) 6-7hrs
Today marks the last day for the Annapurna circuit 12 days trek package. After having early morning breakfast at Pokhara, you will board a tourist bus to Kathmandu. The bus will traverse 200km to finally reach Kathmandu. You have the option to fly from Pokhara to Kathmandu at your own expense.

Annapurna Circuit Trek Fly out from Jomsom Trek Information
Arrival, Welcome, and Trek Start
When you arrive in Nepal, our company representative, holding a placard with your name, will greet you, present you with a Khada or a marigold garland, and then take you to your hotel in a private vehicle. We will board you on a local bus to Bhulbhule on the trek departure date.
The bus will follow the Prithivi Highway to Dumre, then turn northwards, reaching Besishar and finally to Bhulbhule (845 m), your trek start point.
Accommodations
You will spend ten nights in the trek region at the best available lodges/teahouses. Out of these ten nights, you will spend seven nights in rooms with an attached bathroom at Jagat, Dharapani, Chame, Pisang, Manag (2 N), and Muktinath.
You will stay in standard rooms in Bhulbhule, Yak Kharka, and Thorang Phedi. All rooms are on a twin-shared basis. Most lodges provide electricity for charging devices, Wi-Fi for internet access, and hot showers, but these may come with an additional cost.
In Pokhara, you will stay in Silver Oaks Inn in a room with an attached bathroom and other modern amenities.
Meals
We provide eleven breakfasts, nine lunches, and nine dinners in the trek regions. All meals are on a full-board (main course) basis.Your food choices include traditional local, Asian, and Western cuisine, but the menu gets shorter as you elevate.
However, we ensure you have nourishing meals for energy throughout the trek. We suggest you try popular Nepali foods, dal (lentils), bhat (rice), tarkari (curry), momo (dumplings), and Chowmein (noodles).
During the trek, we highly recommend you take plenty of liquids, such as ginger, green, and lemon tea, hot lemon, garlic soup (must), and fresh vegetables at high altitudes.
Though non-veg items are available in the trek regions, we don’t recommend them for hygiene concerns. Similarly, avoid alcoholic drinks, dairy items, caffeinated drinks, and hot chocolates.
Luggage
We assign porters to carry your luggage, but your weight limit is 9 kg. One porter will carry the luggage of two trekkers, but no more than 18 kg. Hence, we advise you to partner with a fellow trekker and pack your things in a duffle bag with over sixty liters capacity.
We suggest you bring only the essential things to the trek. You can store your excess luggage at our store. In addition, we expect you to carry a small backpack for valuable items, essential documents, and often used items, like a water bottle.
Facilities and Essentials
-
Water
You can easily buy bottled water from en-route shops. However, some trek regions may not allow plastic bottles. So, we advise you to bring a water bottle and fill it with boiled water from tea houses/lodges. Use water purification pills for extra safety. If you do not have them, ask our staff. However, do not drink from taps, wells, or rivers in trek regions for hygiene concerns.
-
Communication
Your lead guide will remain in touch with our team in Kathmandu, providing updates on your progress using the phone. We suggest you buy a local SIM card in Kathmandu for reliable communication. However, in high elevations, the signals may not be strong enough.
Travel Essentials
-
Visa
You’ll need a valid visa to enter Nepal. Fortunately, most foreigners can get an on-arrival visa at Kathmandu’s International Airport. To acquire an on-arrival visa, you will need a passport with at least six months of validity, a passport-size photo, and an application fee. The application fee depends on your length of stay. The current cost is USD 50 for a 30-day stay. For more details, visit https://www.immigration.gov.np.
-

Trek Season and Weather Conditions
The trek can be completed year-round, but the experience varies by season. Spring (March to May) is ideal for trekking, with mild temperatures (0- 8 °C at high elevations), clear skies, and blooming rhododendrons along the trails.
Autumn (September to November) is another fantastic trek season due to clear skies, mild weather, and cultural festivals. Temperatures at high altitudes reach 20 °C during the day and 5 °C at night, offering stunning views.
Summer (June to August) brings heavy rain, making trails slippery. Temperatures at high elevations range from 10-23 °C during the day and 5-10 °C at night, with lush green landscapes in the valleys.
Trekking is also possible in winter (December to February), but it’s very cold at high elevations, with daytime temperatures dropping to -10°C. However, clear skies and snow-capped peaks attract experienced trekkers seeking solitude to trek in winter.
Typical Day
Each trekking day offers a blend of hiking, village exploration, and local food tasting, with insights from our expert guide. Your day starts early with tea or coffee, followed by a 7–8 am trek start. Lunch is around midday, with an hour of rest.
Then, an easier afternoon hike to the day’s destination commences. After reaching the trek destination, you can snack, explore, and unwind. We will serve dinner around 6–7 pm, followed by a briefing about the next day from our guide. After the trek briefing, you can spend time as you like.
