Take a short glimpse of Chulu waterfall en route. Mountain goats and yak are irregular hosts of the area. Annapurna, Gangapurna and Pisang peak can be seen en route. We spend overnight at Kharka.

Today is an important day for acclimatization before we head further up. So we just get our body to acclimatize and explore the surrounding.

Cross the river over a suspension bridge and follow steep uphill trail. The trail is narrow and steep further so we need to be cautious. Landscapes are full of small bushes and trails are rocky and vulnerable. A hard day full of thrill and exhaustion rewards us with wonderful view of Chulu East and other mountains from the base camp.

Guide arranges a training session with all gears and equipments so that we will be able to avoid potential mishap today.  Remaining day can be spent with gossips and mountain jokes from guide.

We don't have long way to fix today but yet journey continues. We mount further through rocky slopes decorated by small bushes. Our camping spot is towered by giant Chulu.

We wake up early in the morning and head to the summit with full equipment. We ascend steep through snowy trails. The rope fixed by guide help us to much extent and makes us feel secure. Upon summiting the top take deep breathe and enjoy the triumph. The wonderful view of Annapurna, Pisang peak, Gangapurna , Manaslu make us feel blessed. Then we come down through the same way to the base camp.

Follow the steep downhill trail through the pine forest which is followed by level walk. We can have stunning view of Manang valley and beautiful buckwheat fields.

Today you hit the trail early for about 5 hour walk to the top of the Thorung La at 5416m. From where you could see surrounding peaks as well as some part of Mustang. The descent is almost as demanding as the ascent to the top of the pass, with a steep rough trail down to Muktinath. Muktinath is an important pilgrimage site for Buddhists and Hindus, sacred for its auspicious combination of earth, fire and water.

This morning you have an easy walk following the road down to the Kali Gandaki riverbed, which you follow down to Jomsom. The Kali Gandaki valley gets very windy in the afternoons so it's a good idea to keep moving on the trail and get into Jomsom in time for lunch if possible.
