Day 04 Besisahar to Chame.
We take a drive from Besisahar to Chame along a new road that eliminates what was previously several days of forest walking to get to the more spectacular mountain scenery that starts in Chame. The rhododendron forests, monasteries and views along the way make this a fun ride.

This will be one of the most memorable days of our trek. We explore monasteries, Chhortens, caves, and a museum.

Day 10 Phedi to Muktinath (3,800m) via Thorong La (5,416m).
What a day! After an early breakfast, we begin our trek up the same steep trail we used yesterday for practice. The trail continues ascending but is less steep after High Camp. The open vistas are superb! After about 4 hours from Phedi, we reach the top of the Thorong La, the highest pass in the Himalayas. We have excellent views of Mt. Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu and other stunning peaks of the Annapurna region. After posing for pictures at the top, we begin our long, steep descent, which actually drops down far more than the morning’s ascent. To cap off this once-in-a-lifetime experience, we trek down to the Muktinath temple, which is one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in Nepal. BLD.
