Travelers will trek anti-clockwise from Besisahar to Jomsom, with the breathtaking Thorong La Pass (5,416m) as the crown jewel of the journey. Along the way, you’ll experience the unique cultures of diverse mountain communities, staying in traditional teahouses and crossing the Marshyangdi and Kali Gandaki rivers countless times.

The ever-changing scenery, combined with the sense of achievement from conquering challenging terrain, makes this tour package a must for those seeking both natural beauty and a sense of accomplishment.
