From Kathmandu
you drive to Pokhara, Nepal's second largest town
set on the shores of Lake Phewa Tal. You spend a day
here relaxing before taking the flight up the great
Kali Gandaki Valley to Jomsom where the trek begins.
You ascend the ridge to the north of the town with a
spectacular panorama of the Annapurna range rising
behind you.
The trail
continues to climb onto this southern edge of the
Tibetan Plateau towards Mustang. There are several
pass crossings (the highest being the Nyi La at
3990m) all of which offer astounding views south to
the Annapurna and north to Tibet, before you make
the final climb to a ridge at 3850 metres.
From here you
look down into the Tholung Valley to the walled city
of Lo-Manthang. Their days here enable you to
explore this remarkable medieval city with its
monasteries and palace or to ride ponies north to
the King- a memorable character from another world.
You then trek back to Jomsom via a different route
before flying to Kathmandu via Pokhara. This is an
exceptional trip.
