Annapurna High Passes trek

Annapurna High Passes Trek- Nar Phu Valley, Tilicho Lake & Mesokanto La

The Annapurna High passes trek is another version of the famous Annapurna Circuit Trek but a bit difficult and of course much more exciting one.

This trek is the great combination of Nar Phu valley trek, Annapurna Tilicho lake trek and Mesokanto La Pass trek. We can say without a doubt that it is one of the best treks in the Annapurna region.

If you are looking to avoid the crowds of classic Annapurna circuit trek or Annapurna base camp, this is a great choice.

Itinerary

During this trek, we will pass through the remote villages of Nar & Phu. We will cross the Kang La Pass and descend to the classic route of Annapurna.

From Manang, we will head toward Tilicho Lake leaving behind the trail that goes to Thorong La Pass. Then, we cross the beautiful Mesokanto La Pass and descend to Jomsom.

The visit to Nar and Phu village is noteworthy, where you get to see the life of local people with the culture very similar to Tibet. The side trips around these villages are amazing.

The Annapurna high passes trek is the great combination, which allows you to discover the fantastically varied region of Annapurna. You will get the chance to witness the high passes of Annapurna Region.

There are very few groups doing this Annapurna High Passes trek, but it is something to do that you will never regret. It is always possible to customise the itinerary as per your need. Just contact us and let us know about your plan!

The best season to do this trek would be in spring and autumn season.
