Yak Kharka 4000m
Annapurna Circuit Diaries
After acclimatizing in Manang (3,540m), the trail takes you higher to Yak Kharka (4,000m) – a stunning alpine stop surrounded by yaks, mountain views, and crisp Himalayan air.
From here, you’ll hike to Thorong Phedi (4,540m) – the base camp for the big push to the Thorong La Pass (5,416m), one of the highest trekking passes in the world!
After conquering the pass, descend to the sacred site of Muktinath (3,800m) – a spiritual blend of Hindu and Buddhist culture.
This part of the trek is both challenging and rewarding, offering breathtaking views and a true high-altitude adventure!
Total journey: 3 days from Manang to Muktinath Best time: March–May & September–November
