Hiking circuits & Trekking

Manang region is associated mainly with tourism and world-famous trek around Annapurna.
 

 –  Trek around Annapurnas: leads in Manang in Marsyangdi river valley, which is also the main artery of this whole area. Over the eponymous town center Manang then it bends in a desert river valley Thorong Khola, then climbed to the highest point of the whole trek – Thorong la Pass.
  • Variants of trek around Annapurna: there are several ways to go just a little bit different and more interesting than the classic itinerary of Trek: instead of going through the valley, go through the village Timang (here with a little luck you'll have absolutely amazing views of the sunset over adjoining Manaslu massif). From the Upper Pisang again to continue the way through Ghyaru and Ngawal.
  • Tilicho / Mesokanto la Trek: The most famous and beautiful extensions of trek around Annapurna is the short side leading to the lake Tilicho lying directly under the main Himalayan ridge. From there most of tourists returning by the same route back, or you can go on and go through the saddle and North Mesokanto la pass directly into Jomsomu (difficult alternative to classical crossing Thorong la Pass).
  • Chulu BC trek: the short hike from the Ledar village through the valley to base camp Chulu.
  • Nar Phu trek: an interesting, much less crowded (this part of Manang was completely closed to tourists for many years) and the more arid areas in the north of the valley of Nar and Phu. Here they are preserved beautiful Buddhist villages and very nice Himlung mountain (7126 m above sea level). The trek begins in Chame, where it disconnects from the traditional routes around Annapurna. On this circuit is then returned through the saddle Kangle Bhanjyang.
  • Saribung trek: basically expedition trek connecting the Nar Phu with former Kingdom of Upper Mustang. Can be combined with the climb to Saribung mountain
  • Namun trek: the less crowded trek linking Lamjung with Manang along the route of the former trade route (before it was built the route through the valley Marsyangdi) over about the same saddle (4900 m above sea level).
  • Manaslu and Annapurna connection Trek: The trek for people with high temporal possibilities and with great endurance.

Maps and orientation in the landscape

Orientation on the main route leading along the Marsyangdi River is completely without problems. There is nowhere to get lost. The same goes for the trip to Lake Tilicho, through the Thorong la pass (there can be a problem only after a snowstorm, when the road disappears under fresh snow) or other side trips.
