Today is a combined Kathmandu Valley cultural sightseeing and climbing preparation day. Kathmandu Valley contains seven UNESCO World Heritage monument zones representing the historic cities and religious traditions of the valley.

Your sightseeing can include the six major heritage sites requested for your package:

1. Kathmandu Durbar Square

The historic royal palace area of Kathmandu, with traditional courtyards, temples, palaces and Newari architecture.

2. Swayambhunath Stupa

Also known as the Monkey Temple, Swayambhunath is one of the valley's important Buddhist religious sites and sits on a hill overlooking Kathmandu.

3. Pashupatinath Temple

One of Nepal's most important Hindu pilgrimage sites, situated beside the sacred Bagmati River. Non-Hindu visitors can view the temple complex and religious activities from permitted areas.

4. Boudhanath Stupa

One of the great Buddhist pilgrimage sites of Kathmandu, with a huge white dome, prayer wheels, monasteries and Tibetan Buddhist cultural influence. Kathmandu Metropolitan City describes Boudhanath as the largest stupa among the stupas of Kathmandu Valley.

5. Patan Durbar Square

Located in the ancient city of Lalitpur, Patan is famous for its Newari craftsmanship, temples, courtyards, stone and metal artwork and traditional architecture.

6. Bhaktapur Durbar Square

Bhaktapur preserves a particularly impressive medieval Newari urban environment, with temples, palace courtyards, traditional brick buildings and artistic wood and metal craftsmanship.

UNESCO officially identifies Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur Durbar Squares together with Swayambhu, Boudhanath, Pashupati and Changu Narayan as the seven monument zones of Kathmandu Valley.

In the late afternoon, you return to the hotel for final climbing preparation and equipment checking. Your climbing guide checks boots, crampons, harness, helmet, ice axe, ropes and other technical equipment.

Elevation: 1,400 m
Sightseeing: Full day
Walking: Approximately 3–5 km depending on sightseeing route
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals: Breakfast

After an early breakfast, we drive from Kathmandu toward Besisahar, the gateway to the Annapurna region, and continue toward Dharapani depending on road and local conditions. The journey follows river valleys and winding Himalayan roads, with views of green hills, waterfalls, terraced farmland and rural settlements.

Elevation: Dharapani approx. 1,860–1,960 m
Driving: approximately 8–10 hours depending on road conditions
Trail: Motor road
Accommodation: Lodge

The landscape gradually changes from the lower green hills toward the mountain environment of Manang.

Today the actual trekking begins. The trail follows the Marshyangdi Valley through forests and traditional mountain villages. You pass through areas of pine, fir and rhododendron forest and gradually enter the spectacular mountain scenery of the Manang region.

The trail includes both gradual ascents and short descents, with beautiful views of surrounding peaks.

Elevation: Chame – approx. 2,670 m
Walking: 5–6 hours
Distance: approximately 15–16 km
Ascent: approximately 800 m
Descent: relatively minor
Terrain: Forest trail, stone sections and local road
Vegetation: Pine, fir, rhododendron and Himalayan shrubs
Mountain views: Lamjung Himal, Annapurna II and surrounding peaks

The trail continues through beautiful forests and narrow mountain valleys toward Pisang. You cross streams and walk beneath impressive cliffs and snow-covered Himalayan peaks. As the altitude increases, the vegetation becomes thinner and the landscape becomes increasingly alpine.

Elevation: Upper Pisang – approx. 3,200 m
Walking: 5–6 hours
Distance: approximately 14–16 km
Ascent: approximately 500–600 m
Descent: short sections
Trail: Forest, stone trail and mountain path

The area offers spectacular views of Annapurna II, Annapurna IV and Pisang Peak.

Today is one of the most scenic days of the trek. We take the higher route toward Ghyaru and Ngawal, which provides magnificent panoramic views of the Annapurna range.

The trail climbs steadily through dry mountain terrain. As we gain altitude, the landscape changes from forest to alpine grassland and rocky slopes.

Elevation: Ngawal – approx. 3,660 m
Walking: 4–6 hours
Distance: approximately 10–12 km
Ascent: approximately 500–700 m
Descent: some short sections
Trail: Steep stone steps and mountain paths
Mountain views: Annapurna II, III, IV, Gangapurna and surrounding peaks

Today is an important acclimatization day before moving toward the high-altitude Chulu region. Rather than simply staying inside the lodge, we recommend a short acclimatization hike around the village and surrounding ridges.

You can explore the traditional village, Buddhist monasteries, chortens, prayer walls and local agricultural areas while enjoying views of the Annapurna mountains.

Elevation: Ngawal – approx. 3,660 m
Walking: 3–5 hours optional acclimatization hike
Ascent/descent: approximately 200–400 m depending on hike
Purpose: Acclimatization and preparation

This rest-and-acclimatization approach is commonly incorporated into Chulu Far East climbing itineraries before entering higher elevations.

Today we leave the main villages and enter the more remote high-altitude environment toward Chulu Far East Base Camp. The trail becomes increasingly rugged, with barren slopes, alpine vegetation, rocky terrain and glacial landscapes.

Elevation: Base Camp approximately 4,600–5,000 m depending on the selected climbing route and camp location 5300
Walking: approximately 5–7 hours
Distance: approximately 8–12 km
Ascent: approximately 900–1,300 m
Terrain: Rocky alpine trail, moraine and steep mountain terrain

At this altitude, the landscape is dominated by juniper, alpine grasses, small shrubs and bare rock. Wildlife becomes less common, but Himalayan birds and occasional mountain animals may be seen.

Today is dedicated to acclimatization and climbing preparation. Your climbing guide will conduct practical training with the group, including the correct use of crampons, harness, helmet, ice axe, climbing rope and basic glacier techniques.

Depending on weather and group condition, you may take a short hike above Base Camp before returning for rest.

Elevation: approximately 4,600–5,000 m
Walking: 2–4 hours optional
Purpose: Acclimatization + technical climbing training

This day is particularly important because the summit is above 6,000 m.

Today we climb from Base Camp toward High Camp. The terrain becomes steeper and more exposed, and the trail may include rocky moraine, snow and glacial sections depending on the season and current mountain conditions.

High Camp: approximately 5,300–5,500 m
Walking: 3–5 hours
Ascent: approximately 500–700 m
Descent: minimal
Terrain: Rocky moraine, snow/glacier terrain and steep slopes

After reaching High Camp, the climbing team prepares equipment for the summit attempt. The guide will check the weather forecast, climbing equipment and route conditions.

7

This is the major objective of the expedition. We wake very early, usually before dawn, and begin climbing while the snow and mountain conditions are generally more suitable.

The route may involve snow, ice, glacier travel, steep sections and rope-assisted climbing depending on current conditions. The exact climbing technique and equipment required are determined by the qualified climbing guide according to the mountain conditions.

After reaching the summit, you can enjoy extraordinary Himalayan views, potentially including Annapurna II, Annapurna III, Annapurna IV, Gangapurna, Tilicho Peak, Dhaulagiri and other surrounding Himalayan peaks, subject to weather and visibility. Published Chulu Far East itineraries also describe panoramic views toward the Annapurna and surrounding ranges from the summit.

After spending a safe amount of time at the summit, we descend carefully to High Camp/Base Camp.

Summit elevation: approx. 6,059 m
Walking/climbing: approximately 7–10+ hours depending on conditions and route
Ascent: approximately 700–800 m from High Camp
Descent: substantial
Difficulty: Technical/high altitude
Accommodation: Camp

Important: Summit-day duration and exact route are weather- and snow-condition dependent.

This is a very important safety day. Mountain weather can change rapidly, and a summit attempt may sometimes need to be postponed because of strong winds, snowfall, poor visibility or unsafe snow/ice conditions.

If the summit was successfully completed on Day 11, this day can be used as additional rest or for descending toward a lower elevation. If the summit attempt was unsuccessful because of weather or route conditions, this day provides another opportunity, subject to the climbing leader's assessment.

We descend from the high-altitude climbing area toward the main Annapurna Circuit and continue to Manang. After several days in the high mountains, the descent to a lower elevation is physically and psychologically refreshing.

Elevation: Manang – approx. 3,500 m
Walking: 5–7 hours
Distance: approximately 12–16 km
Descent: significant
Terrain: Rocky trail, alpine slopes and village paths

Manang is one of the most important settlements in the region, with traditional stone houses, monasteries, mani walls and dramatic mountain scenery.

Manang is one of the most important settlements in the region, with traditional stone houses, monasteries, mani walls and dramatic mountain scenery.

The trek transitions from the wide Manang valley into the high-alpine tundra wilderness. Leaving Manang village (3,540m), the trail gently ascends through the Jarsang Khola valley. The route passes through the small agricultural settlement of Gunsang (3,950m) before reaching the wide, alpine meadows of Yak Kharka (4,050m), where mountain horses and yaks graze. After a brief lunch rest at Yak Kharka, the trail continues along the riverbank, crosses a wooden suspension bridge over the Jarsang Khola river, and makes a final short, steady climb onto the high ridge to reach the small cluster of tea houses at Ledar (4,250m). The trail situation is completely free of vehicle roads, consisting of established, dusty, and rocky single-track mountain paths. The thin air makes even gradual climbs physically demanding, requiring a very slow, deliberate pace to prevent altitude sickness. [1, 2, 3]
