Thorong- La Pass & Fly Out Jomsom

Thorong- La Pass & Fly Out JomsomThis  trek gives you an opportunity to explore himalaya experience of your life time. This trek is one of contrasts between the green terraced farmland of the Marshyangdi valley and the semi-arid environs of Lower Mustang. The two areas are separated by the Thorong La (5416m), which we must cross on a long day, to reach the sacred site of Muktinath. The temple complex is a pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists and when seen from here the sunrise on Dhaulagiri is particularly striking. We descend into the world's deepest river gorge, as it slices between the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massifs. If you would like explore all around Annapurna but not enough time, this itinerary can gives you full enjoyment of all around Annapurna.
